As long as they refund every cent spent by mainland tourists, reimburse the cost of every business investment, and take Obama back permanently, they can have it. It’s a blue state anyway, so less electoral votes for the DemProgs.
From Hawaii News Now.
WAIMANOLO, Hawaii (AP) – Native Hawaiians could be in line for federal recognition similar to many American Indian tribes. But the issue is inflaming distrust between moderates who support the idea and others who want to see the Hawaiian Kingdom restored.
Before Hawaii became a tourist mecca, the islands were ruled by royal families. The kingdom was overthrown by a group of American businessmen in 1893.
The federal government is now mulling a relationship with Hawaiians that could protect more than 200 programs and secure millions in federal money. Advocates have been seeking federal recognition for more than a decade.
Hawaiian nationalists insist that the kingdom should be restored. Their dominance of the debate could threaten a proposal that could give Native Hawaiians privileges enjoyed by other native groups.

Hawaii wasn’t exactly a land of peace, love, and kumbaya before the white businessmen showed up.
Just go ahead and cut them loose. Make them produce passports to visit America and apply for visas if they want to work or go to school here. If they overstay their visit or if they come in illegally, boot them out like other illegal aliens.
I’m all for it.
