Puerto Rico has been absolutely leveled by Hurricane Maria. It was already in a free-floating economic crisis, and now they are likely going to be suffering a long, slow recovery. Schools, hospitals, roads, homes...all destroyed.
Surprisingly few people understand that citizens of Puerto Rico are also citizens of the United States. Many of them have extended family in the US, and they are likely to flee here as their country wallows in the misery that the combination of poverty and a natural disaster can bring.
It is with sickening certainty that I predict that Fox News and Trump supporters will double down on the Wall as a response to American citizens coming to America.
