future generations to the Mainland.
Future generations of Hawaiians.
In American Samoa the tuna factories are allowed to pay less than U.S. law requires, so positions are filled by Tongan workers, because Tonga is desperately poor. The American Samoans who won't work there, fly to Hawaii for greater opportunity, with better pay. Hawaiian kids, the ones who graduate from college, often move to the mainland to find work in their field. That's how it is now.
Turning away high tech, scientific jobs in Hawaii, like positions in the field of astronomy is... short sighted... at best.
