        I've heard Trump owes $$in Puerto Rico over failed golf course. Could be related, or hey, maybe because Puerto Rican aren't mostly white?

        It shouldn't even be a question. These are Americans and they are desperate for help.

        So Texas gets a waiver but not Puerto Rico?!! DHS mission in part is to "safeguard American people"...waiving Jones Act would help!

        According to those in the know, the Act isn't the issue, it's issues at the ports

        A humanitarian crisis of this magnitude should take precedence. Period. A president with the correct priorities would demand it.

        I'm not sure you understand the situation or what the act covers. The ports aren't operationalhttps://www.cbsnews.com/news/maria-decimated-puerto-rico-seeing-big-ramp-up-in-federal-aid/ …

        I understand enough to know that people with the correct priorities can make this happen & it's not important enough to them to do so.

        We can fly stuff in, too. TRUMP offered 1 Billion in.aid for crisis affecting 3.5 million people TRUMP Personally got 2 BILLION off taxpayers for one hotel. We are delusional- Something's not right there.

        What needs to be done so that the Jones Act is waived? Can't the people in D.C. see that there are Americans on the verge of dying??? Insane
