Read OP.Wow. Y'all didn't say shit when red state Texas and Florida have their hand out for welfare .
The dirty little secret is that U.S. taxpayers bail out Puerto Rico every freaking day. About 21 billion is allocated by the U.S. to Puerto Rico every year and disappears through lack of supervision by federal agencies. Drain the freaking swamp.
It is a US Territory and thus they are citizens of the United States.
So, Yes.

Far more important is they are human beings.
No one is helping Cuba and there's no excuse for that.
Interestingly, the US Virgin Islands have gotten much more than PR has. BUT, they are several very small islands, with a total population of about 100K. Fewer of them and easier to get to but they got help much faster. Why?
BTW, pino trump has property on the island of Vieques. We still haven't heard from our friend there. We got an email from his wife, who was already in NY. She cannot get home and has no way of finding out if her husband is dead or alive.
Help them! In every way possible!Although it is the Christian and charitable thing to do, remember: Puerto Rico is not a state, therefore they pay no personal federal income tax.
What say ye?
PR has been in the financial red for some time now. This disaster will no doubt be used to bail them out, rebuild their infrastructure, and provide new jobs for all...or welfare for those unwilling to work.

Limited funds should be equitably allocated among all recently affected locales. Those include: TX, FL, LA, PR, among others. I'd suggest calculating federal funding available/allocated and dividing it per capita of affected areas.Why is this even a question? Yes, of course we are obligated. Is there some actual legal argument circulating that we are not?
The hedge funds are going to get their bailout before anyone in PR gets anything more than a blanket, some bottled water and a box of MREs.PR has been in the financial red for some time now.

Just another case of Ka-CHINGGG!!!
Troops don't count. Only cash money provided to the local governments, to be spent at their discretion, counts. And no local government representative or agency should have to account for how they spend federal funds./-----/ The Hill:
Army Lt. Gen. Jeff Buchanan said Friday morning that the Pentagon has 10,000 people helping with the response after Hurricanes Irma and Maria ripped through Puerto Rico and the U.S. Virgin Islands earlier this month.
"We're certainly bringing in more [troops]," Buchanan said on CNN's "New Day."
