In the years since, a panel of the First Circuit of Federal Appeals has determined that its constitutional exclusion to the residents of Puerto Rico of the SSI will prove to have benefited from large numbers of people over 65 years of age, without any known incapacity. No obstacle, the terms for the administration of Donald Trump.
The advertisement was brought to you by the Puerto Rican José Luis Vaello, in 2018, to be excluded from the program to move to reside in the island of New York City. “This is the corollary of the most needy,” said Hernandez.

Hernández questioned the leadership of the resident commission in Washington, Jenniffer González, who, he said, should be “in court” in the federal case, not denouncing the Trump administration’s arguments. “It has the power to bring the voice, it has to coax the argument and destroy it and become indignant as a puppet. One must be consistent … ”, affirmed the legislator of the Popular Democratic Party (PPD).
During the press conference, Hernández also addressed the issue of priority recovery of countries across the hurricane Irma and María, in 2017, and the times that affect the country.
Hernández argued that the Trump administration passed a series of regulations in the Federal Department of Living and the Federal Agency for Emergency Management (FEMA) that required modifications to facilitate access to the funds allocated to the island for recovery. “These regulations have a condition that limits with layers of bureaucracy the access ”, dijo.
