	Puerto Rican - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		It should be noted that even though "Puerto Rico" is a territory and not an incorporated State of the U.S., all constitutional rights, privileges and immunities provided by the Constitution of the United States of America were extended to the island and its residents by the Jones Act of 1917.
		Since 1917, Puerto Rican citizens born prior to 1899 were naturalized citizens and anyone born after 1898 were declared natural born citizens of the United States; unless the Puerto Rican by sworn statement wished to remain subject of Spain within 6 months of the effective date of the 1917 Jones Act.
		Asked about whether she felt Puerto Rican or not by a popular men's magazine, New York native model and rap singer Gloria Velez declared that although "(she) and her parents" were born in New York City and Long Island and her grandparents were from Puerto Rico, she is still 100 percent "Puerto Rican".
