Clearly the the vast majority of Puerto Ricans need a haven to retreat to while their island undergoes the months of massive repairs recently made necessary by Hurricane Maria. I suggest that Texas is the ideal repository for the two million or so displaced Puerto Ricans the storm has left in its wake. Texas is the largest state with the largest population and by far the largest economy of any of the states within hailing distance of Puerto Rico, and thus best suited for the admittedly burdensome task of providing services for this unexpected addition to its population.
Relocating a few million Puerto Ricans to Texas on humanitarian grounds for the next few years would be in the best interests of our nation. We should support any effort to further this end.
