there’s a bunch of people who may be in bed now who think they have to move tomorrow

They should have been kicked out of bed months ago. Lazy bums should have been out repairing and building their homes all this time.

Why can Americans (TEXANS) just shrug their shoulders, roll up their sleeves and go to work after being devastated by a hurricane but Puerto Ricans need a babysitter to nurse them through and convince them to get on with their lives? Receiving a piece of paper from the State Department does not make someone an American. Being an American takes a lot more effort than that.

Four days adds up to a lot of your tax dollars.

Judge changes the week from 7 to 8 days to give a day to worship the government.

President Trump and others need to start responding to these judges in langauge they understand: "After reviewing the judge's order, I have deemed it unconstitutional and as of today, vacated."

While I agree in principle, this isn't the time to do that.

Better to wait until after the 2020 election, when Trump will have more flexibility.

The judge is in Massachusetts. The refugees are in Florida.

Gee, what a surprise, another Obama appointee that thinks he’s President too.

This ruling is completely inappropriate. The money being spent on that program comes from my tax dollars, and it should be spent in accordance with the decisions of Congress and the President of the United States, not at the whim of a black-robed tyrant.

I’m all for Puerto Rican Independence. And granting (forcibly) Puerto Rican citizenship to this judge.

After last year we had no water, toilet, anything to do with water, or drainage for nearly 3 months.
No showers except go outside with a garden hose , no toilet.
Our drainfield collapsed as did the septic tank, we had two sink holes at the side of the house which caused this. Roof badly damaged too

We stayed, rebuilt, still fixing, but we never took a dime off anyone, so why is it certain parts of the population and these people need this for this long?
