Will Trump Try to Halt an Exodus from Puerto Rico? [View all]

He definitely dissed the territory this morning in his tweets. Puerto Ricans can freely travel and relocate to the continental US, since they are U.S. Citizens by birth. However, he might be looking at another way to restrict travel - some health issue or another bogus means of limiting a mass migration from that destruction to the US.

I'm sure he, and a number of other Republicans would love to find a way to do this. Watch for news of an epidemic disease developing on the island. A quarantine might get past the freedom to travel rights of people there.
