Authorized statement of the governor of Puerto Rico, Ricardo Rosselló:
11.1.2019
(January 11, 2019 - La Fortaleza, San Juan) "No wall should be funded on the pain and suffering of United States citizens who have endured tragedy and loss through a natural disaster. This includes those citizens that live in California, Texas, Puerto Rico, the US Virgin Islands, and other jurisdictions. Today it’s us, tomorrow it could be you.
No justification should be considered to reclassify the money that US citizens will use to rebuild their communities. If anything, the conversation should be about how we get more resources to rebuild those impacted areas faster.
