This is a country with a Constitution that names personal pursuit of happiness as one of its tenets. In addition, this is the United States where people have the right to move where ever they chose to move. Are we going to deny American citizens entry to Hawaii? Do we expect them to show a bank statement? We know fully well why so many folk from the mainland do not get hired here, so let's don't pretend, shall we. I have seen for over 30 years people come here with a dream and all their savings, and leave after trying hard to get a job with nothing on their back. I have known RN's and LPN's with way more experience and qualifications than some others who beat them to the game just because they are the right color. And golly, we all know how much we need good medical staff at the Hilo Medical Center.
Are poor people not entitled to see the sunset in Waikiki? Why are they so different than the lazy mothers we have here living for generations on benefits paid for by the American taxpayer? this is the USA and if someone for some obscure reason does not subscribe to that concept perhaps they are out of place. We are a compassionate nation, a Christian nation and a nation of many different religious persuations, all who believe that there is something greater than ourselves, and who mandates us to be compassionate with each other.
