While they are US Territories, they are also considered POE and you are required to show passport or GC to come back. So stay away. Same applies to St. Thomas and St. Croix, and Guam.

WRONG! Please, don't give away incorrect informations!

I'm a conditional GC holder and I visited the island of Porto Rico in the summer. No one at the airport or elsewhere asked me for a passport. I entered and exited the island with my conditional GC only without any issues.

You got lucky, my friend, which means nothing. I had a stop in Puerto Rico -- in San Juan, to be precise -- twice on my way to and from the U.S. Virgin Islands, and both times I was a "conditional" Green Card holder. US CBP strapped me over an iron horse and a**-raped me twice. I felt like I was in Guantanamo Bay. The USVI and Puerto Rico are both P.O.E.s, so a K-1 can travel there, then enter a ferry or boat or whatever and leave the U.S. easily. How easily? A trip from the USVI to the BVI is only a bit over an hour. Since this works both ways, a foreigner can easily just charter a sail boat from the BVI and take a little trip to the USVI from there. All of a sudden he is on U.S territory and might try to make his way from U.S. territory to the U.S. mainland.

For that reason the U.S. CBP consists of guys that usually work in places like Guantanamo. I am 6'6" tall and not really a weakling but I felt utterly intimidated back then. My wife said, literally "why are they doing this to you; you are my husband!"

I strongly advise anybody to stay away from U.S. territories if they don't have a Green Card in their possession.

There is no room in this country for hyphenated Americanism. When I refer to hyphenated Americans, I do not refer to naturalized Americans. Some of the very best Americans I have ever known were naturalized Americans, Americans born abroad. But a hyphenated American is not an American at all . . . . The one absolutely certain way of bringing this nation to ruin, of preventing all possibility of its continuing to be a nation at all, would be to permit it to become a tangle of squabbling nationalities, an intricate knot of German-Americans, Irish-Americans, English-Americans, French-Americans, Scandinavian-Americans or Italian-Americans, each preserving its separate nationality, each at heart feeling more sympathy with Europeans of that nationality, than with the other citizens of the American Republic . . . . There is no such thing as a hyphenated American who is a good American. The only man who is a good American is the man who is an American and nothing else.
