There would be pros and cons for both.
But I cannot see Puerto Rico becoming a state now that Trump has made English the official language.
Puerto Rican Spanish is too big a piece of the culture to force it to be limited

Not all of the sudden.
They don't teach you in schools but the Truman admin bombed 2 cities in PR that were rising for independence.
Created laws to ban talking about independence.
Made it illegal to fly the PR flag in PR
Arrested and murdered independence leadership with radiation poisoning.

It is changing, but I'm pretty sure the only independence the US has offered PR was sovereignty with free association that would allow the US final say on matters that would be "National Security" issues.
Basically just statehood.

What you don't realize is that there has never been a real legal referendum vote with the actual options. The last congress attempted to pass a bill to oversee one but it was shelved in the Senate.

Pro-independent folks aren't denying people a vote. PR has been denied proper representation since her annexation. Given citizenship only to be added to the WW1 draft. Given commonwealth status because Truman bombed PR and his reelection was in doubt. But always denied a vote by Congress

Milton Williams and Josh Sweat are both very good players, but they had great seasons last year because of Jalen Carter forcing offenses game plan for him and swallowing up doubles all season long.
I think Eagles will be just fine on the edge and secondary

The difference between POTUS, who is an idiot, and Powell, who is brilliant, is clear to see here when it took him all of 5 seconds to look at Trump's new fake figures, spot the inaccuracy, and educate him on when the building was completed.

It wasn't until after receiving backlash in the mainland for the fascist bombing of US citizens did they grant PR the ability to "civilize" and file as a commonwealth while still exploiting PR resources to expand the US wealth and racial hierarchy.

Trump as POTUS hasn't come close to other levels of fascism of presidents' past. In 1948 the Fascist Truman admin forced PR to pass Ley de la Mordaza making it illegal to fly the PR Flag, sing songs about PR or even talk about independence and even bombed several PR cities in 1950.

It is the US calling all the shots.
The island belongs to the US.
The US Congress has final say on PR laws, PR funding, PR trade, including any status referendum to make PR a State, Independent, or keep status quo. A bill to even hold referendum vote didn't pass in the last congress
