From wikipedia:
"Since 2000, legal immigrants to the United States number approximately 1,000,000 per year, of whom about 600,000 are Change of Status who already are in the U.S. Legal immigrants to the United States now are at their highest level ever, at just over 37,000,000 legal immigrants."
I couldn't find numbers for Hawaii, I assume that per capita it would be higher.
It seems like a lot but 1M per year is less than one third of 1 percent of the population.
The country is better for it, the whole history of the USA shows what immigration can do to a country.
