Original Note:
The TikTok video by @_isabelle_333_ is correct. It correctly notes that the people of Puerto Rico have been granted U.S. citizenship since 1917 when President Woodrow Wilson signed the Jones–Shafroth Act of 1917 on March 2, 1917. https://www.britannica.com/event/Jones-Shafroth-Act https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jones%E2%80%93Shafroth_Act https://www.history.com/this-day-in-history/puerto-ricans-become-u-s-citizens-are-recruited-for-war-effort#:~:text=On%20March%202%2C%201917%2C%20Wilson%20signed%20the%20Jones%2DShafroth%20Act%2C%20under%20which%20Puerto%20Rico%20became%20a%20U.S.%20territory%20and%20Puerto%20Ricans%20were%20granted%20statutory%20citizenship https://immigrationhistory.org/item/jones-shafroth-act/#:~:text=This%20act%20enacted,territory%20in%201898 https://guides.loc.gov/world-of-1898/jones-act#:~:text=On%20March%202%2C%201917%2C%20President%20Woodrow%20Wilson%20signed%20the%20Jones%2DShafroth%20Act.%20This%20law%20gave%20Puerto%20Ricans%20U.S.%20citizenship https://www.theworldwar.org/learn/educator-resource/day-history-puerto-ricans-become-us-citizens-are-recruited-war-effort#:~:text=Puerto%20Ricans%20recruited%20and%20drafted%20into%20the%20war%20effort%20after%20the%20Jones%2DShafroth%20Act%20of%20March%201917%20made%20Puerto%20Ricans%20U.S.%20citizens https://uscode.house.gov/view.xhtml?req=granuleid:USC-prelim-title8-section1402&num=0&edition=prelim#:~:text=All%20persons%20born%20in%20Puerto%20Rico%20on%20or%20after%20January,the%20United%20States%20at%20birth https://www.cga.ct.gov/PS97/rpt/olr/htm/97-R-0359.htm#:~:text=In%20general%2C%20most,January%2014%2C%201941 https://fam.state.gov/fam/08fam/08fam030206.html#:~:text=Puerto%20Rico%20comes%20within%20the%20definition%20of%20%22United%20States%22%20given%20in%20section%20101(a)(38)%20of%20the%20Immigration%20and%20Nationality%20Act%20(INA).%C2%A0%20A%20person%20born%20in%20Puerto%20Rico%20acquires%20U.S.%20citizenship%20in%20the%20same%20way%20as%20one%20born%20in%20any%20of%20the%2050%20States https://secure.ssa.gov/apps10/poms.nsf/lnx/0200303120#:~:text=All%20persons%20born%20in%20Puerto%20Rico%20on%20or%20after%20January%2013%2C%201941%2C%20and%20subject%20to%20the%20jurisdiction%20of%20the%20United%20States%2C%20are%20citizens%20of%20the%20United%20States%20at%20birth TikTok video. https://www.tiktok.com/@_isabelle_333_/video/7430865913605360938
