Puerto Ricans
Isla del Encanto's people
Puerto Ricans are people from Puerto Rico, a Caribbean island that is a U.S. territory.
Puerto Ricans are U.S. citizens by birth but cannot vote in presidential elections unless they reside on the mainland.
The term covers both island residents and the large diaspora in cities like New York and Orlando: Puerto Ricans have shaped American music from salsa to reggaeton.
