Technically yes, but in reality, nobody thinks soI think it's pathetic that she doesn't realize Puerto Rico is part of America and Puerto Ricans ARE American citizens. That's embarrassing for her and the GOP.
They don't usually call themselves Americans or "Americanos", but "Puertorriqueños" or "Boricuas." To most Puerto Ricans, "my country" means "Puerto Rico", not the United States. Boricua, derived from the Taíno word Boriken is used to affirm Puerto Ricans devotion to the island's Taíno heritage.
