As per Wikipedia ... Territories belong to, but are not considered to be a part of, the U.S. [4] Unincorporated territories in particular are not considered to be integral parts of the U.S.,[5] and the U.S. Constitution applies only partially in those territories.

They're basically second class non-citizens who don't even get to vote in US elections. Democracy! Lol.
