Hawaii needs a state deportation program, 3 strikes, one way ticket back to the mainland nearest relative town, name put on no entry list.
i'd add:
No three strikes for meth related offenses, those people should be immediately deported no questions asked.
Where will people who have family here, not the mainland, go?
And in general how do we get other states to accept our low life's?
On the other side:
We should probably be dealing with this problem not just shipping off vagrants and expecting it to go away.
No doubt lots of low life's fly in and no doubt lots of low life's born and raised here.
Regardless I would like these types removed from society but how do you do that?
Can't just off them and can't just make them someone else's problem. It's a sticky situation and probably can't be fixed with a plane ticket alone.
I think the realist perspective would be try our hardest to keep the next generations from becoming social degenerates and wait for these types to die off as time passes.
Although having to live with them in the mean time may seem terrible you could view it as a kind of penance borne from previous sins or sins of the father...depending on your age.
I think the only way to truly dea with the problem is to raise our children with greater empathy for the community at large rather than just their own family/friends.
When someone falls everyone should reach out a hand to help them up. Until we can start thinking like this there will always be strife and a lack of equality.
