I don't agree with your analysis because it's about legal status. If you analyze it like that, then Puerto Rico doesn't even exist. A nation exists whether it's recognized politically or not, and Puertoricans exist whether their nationality is recognized with a citizenship or not. As it is, all Puertoricans are born with an American citizenship and, legally, the Puertorican citizenship does not exist.
And regarding the list, I consider Wilfred Benítez and John Ruíz Puertoricans. Mexican fight fans obviously know a singer by the name of "Luis Miguel", who clearly is Mexican... however he was born here in Puerto Rico.
It will be difficult to make a list with a definition of nationality based not on legal status, but on identity, but that's the way it should be done. Why? Because Julio César Chávez would be Mexican even if I could produce a document that stated that he was born in Phillipines.
