Uh oh. More wards of the state? More Rat voters?

I’m all for helping out, but put them in a cordoned-off camp, and ship them back ASAP.

They shouldn’t be allowed to be predators among the natives.

Put them on a one way boat to England. Which England should have done on day one.

When I was on a cruise that stopped in Freeport March 2017, the other ship in port was one that comes in from FL and docks there for a few days. It's in effect a hotel. I'm wondering if that already in place schedule made it the most efficient way to get thousands of islanders to FL and to get supplies to the island. Another point....a cruise ship can be used for electricity for the area surrounding a port.

As far as accepting people from Freeport and surrounding devastated islands is concerned, I don't have trouble with that. Freeport is not that far from Miami; it's for all purposes an extension of the port. The people of the island are wonderful. They provide a very nice day in port and are very respectful of their guests. I'd rather have them here than complainers from a specific US possession.
