    2,975 people died in the wake of Hurricane Maria. We failed them, and so did the Trump administration’s inaction. There must be a federal investigation into what happened and why our fellow Americans in Puerto Rico were left without the support they needed.

        What about the federal judges who held up the FEMA money because they were afraid Puerto Rican officials were going to repay their debt with it?

        PR owes a lot of people a lot of money. Judges released only a fraction of specific FEMA grants to ensure the money went to relief efforts, not the creditors

        They aren’t white, they speak Spanish, our President is racist, and they have no political power. Give them 2 Senators and 5 representatives and therefore 7 electoral votes and we might not be having this conversation.

        When they become a State they can have representatives. They want the benefits of statehood without commitment.

        They passed a referendum requesting statehood. Congress has refused to act.

        The best way you and other Congress members can help is to cosponsor #HR6246. Under the territorial status PR is subject to federal laws, but Congress can & often does treat us differently in ways that are detrimental to the economic opportunity/health/security/quality of life.

        And what about the Puerto Rico leaders? I suppose they have no culpability?

        Democrats don't control the govt. GOP do. GOP own it all & have to take the blame if they want to take the credit. trump threw paper towels at PRcns and told them to have fun while he flew off the island. Dems didn't do that. Dems didn't tell them PR didn't even have a disaster.
