However, if you look at FEMA's website at FEMA.gov you will find that as of 2015 (the last time the page was updated) FEMA was still involved in the recovery efforts from Hurricane Katrina in New Orleans and Mississippi. Hurricane Katrina struck in 2005. That was 10 years before the article was written. There are updates to some Katrina pages into 2016. I have not found anything saying that we are not still involved in the Katrina recovery today, 12 years after the hurricane hit.

My question is, How come American Citizens in New Orleans and Mississippi are worthy of receiving aid 10 years after the disaster and there is not a peep out of the President but he is complaining about American Citizens in Puerto Rico receiving aid 3 weeks after their catastrophe? Why are the people of the mainland United States more entitled to help then the people of Puerto Rico are?

In my opinion we should help Puerto Rico until they do not need the help any more, just like any other part of the United States.
