Puerto Rico being a literal golden goose for the USA probably means whatever oppression we see will not change for the better.
But I wonder if, if indeed birthright citizenship ended, how that could actually help us in the long run, by providing a backdoor for independence.
I am not a lawyer or political scientist but, as I see it from my ignorance, if we are no longer US citizens, then we have to be something that has never before* existed: legally recognized puertorican citizenship.
