Back to the original topic:
If someone puts into Social Security all their working life, then even if they move to another country they will still get their benefits. I know Sicilians who moved back to the old country after retiring, because the cost of living was lower and they could live better on their fixed income. So if Hawaii were to regain it's sovereignty, the situation would be the same, because Social Security is a contract between the government and the worker: in a nutshell, you put the money in when you're working so that you can take it out once you retire. No need raise bugaboos to scare people about supporting sovereignty. That question is not relevant.
