The last authority on who should become a state is not the prospective territory, it is the other states. Territories need to be invited in, it isn't just something that any territory can volunteer to.
We don't want Puerto Rico as a state. For one thing, Puerto Rico is not an English speaking territory. All the other territories that became states had the candidacy based on being English speaking, else how could the occupants consider what they were signing on to?
