Two points. One good the other bad.
Point 1.(Good) If they Air Lifted all of the Puerto Rican US citizens to say Florida. And they voted democratic in 2018 and 2020 they could easily swing Florida to a solid Blue State. Why would they support Trump's party after leaving them abandon.
Point 2. (Bad) If you read Naomi Klein's book The Shock Doctrine: The Rise of Disaster Capitalism you will realize that is what the capitalist are drooling over. All that land that would be abandoned and available for pennies on the dollar. Look at what happen to New Orleans after Katrina. Old neighborhoods were forced out. And rebuilt to the benefit of the Disaster Capitalist.
