That would be hysterical. "We're here and we brought our own paper towels!"

Only someone living in their own biased and hateful world would someone make such a statement as yours calling Puerto Ricans brown people and comparing them to illegal aliens from Mexico.

It's humor. I guess some Trump supporters are on edge because he's not doing well while in office and he's not doing well in the approval polls. And nowhere did I compare Puerto Ricans to Mexicans -- you built that strawman all by yourself.

IMHO we're gonna see another million or 2 Puerto Ricans say the hell with the island and, I can't blame those people cause ALL of their kind are US citizens so they can go anywhere in the US.
Isn't it great that we Americans can freely travel across the country?

These states will get the bulk of them --> Massachusetts, Connecticut, New York, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Ohio, Illinois, Delaware, Maryland, Virginia, North Carolina, Georgia, Florida, & Texas.

The metropolitan areas of Orlando & Philadelphia, in particular, will get the lions share.

This heavy migration thats starting to occur post maria, will be good for PR populations in the mainland but bad for Puerto Rico itself.

What do you mean "those people and all their kind". Pretty disgusting and racist since they are US citizens. Did you not know that. I'm sure I'm not the first here to enlighten you.

Many of us don't appreciate your "sense of humor".
It's quite obvious you have a lot of hate inside you for Trump his supporters. You seem quite racist to me, the first thing you think of when PR is mentioned is 'brown skinned people', when most of us think of victims of a hurricane seeking refuge.
