Awesome show of force by the U.S. Military in our area, to add to the already ongoing private relief of the "Little Islands" by the Puerto Rican "Navy". The "Puerto Rican Navy" is the nickname given by the Virgin Islanders to the hundreds of Puerto Rican private boat and yacht owners who ply their waters during the summer holidays, and after this hurricane have gone back with relief supplies and then offering transportation for refugees back to Puerto Rico.

As long as they know that doesn’t mean they have made it “into the USA”. That shouldn’t be a backdoor into green card status.

Allowing a luxury cruise ship to dock at your port is “helping” refugees?

To: DesertRhino
They are US citizens helping other US citizens. They could all come to the mainland and move in to your neighborhood...no visa or green card required.

So then why talk about the cruise ships at all?
They literally dock in San Juan on a daily basis in normal times.

Now we are going to never get rid of them and they will get welfare. Why didn’t the Dutch or French rescue them?

Because the cruise lines are using their ships not to offer vacations to the refugees, but to pick them up at the Virgins and then DROPPING THEM OFF IN PUERTO RICO, where thousands of volunteers from our communities in and around San Juan are pouring out to help them with what little we have, and even if we got hit ourselves.

Puerto Rico is, of course, the HQ of the Federal Reserve, dedicated to the over-running of the US by the rest of the world.
So surprising!

These are mostly American citizens residents of the islands who lost EVERYTHING, and need a place to crash and eat while they figure what to do about their homes. The citizens from non-U.S. islands are here IN TRANSIT or on their way to Europe - France or the Netherlands.

When you offer what little you have to others who have less, is what kindheartedness and being good humans is all about.

You must be one of those few Jews who brainlessly support the neoNazis.
I’m not going to call you a racist, because the people in the Caribbean are of multiple races, but you are a
BIGOT.
Don’t you have a neoNazi demonstration which you need to attend?

This is really very touching to know that Puerto Rico is taking in the folks from the battered and shattered islands. Thanks for the ping.
