Actually, no they don't.

Puerto Rico has had frequent ballot initiatives to become a state but the voters have turned them down everytime. The reason? Most believe it is because as a US Territory, they receive almost all of the benefits of being a state without paying taxes.

The one downside is they get no representation in Congress and cannot vote in any national elections.

So they don't have as much right as any state to voice their opinion.
