| 摘要： | Here we go again. After every hurricane or storm that affects Puerto Rico, the Jones Act denialists are out, as reliably as mushrooms after rain. Bending to pressure from the governor of Puerto Rico, Pedro Pierluisi, Secretary of Homeland Security Alejandro Mayorkas granted a Jones Act waiver to a British Petroleum tanker carrying 300,000 gallons of diesel fuel from Houston. The purported excuse for the waiver request was an "emergency" regarding diesel supply on the island. The BP tanker diverted to Puerto Rico to take advantage of an opportunity to challenge the Jones Act by not following the law and applying for a waiver via the usual procedure. |
