That's the same reason Puerto Rico, the Northern Marianas, and possibly Hawaii stay with the US.   On a base level, the people in those lands view white and black Americans as foreigners.  Nonetheless, there are way too many benefits to be lost to possibly leave.   


Many people complain about empire, but honestly a lot of ordinary people as well as corporations benefit heavily from imperialism.  Actually, people in the lands I mentioned are often the most patriotic because the ties to the US has given them so much opportunity.
