Hawaii helps the homeless disappear one plane ticket at a time
Daily Caller ^ | 8/2/2013 | Elizabeth Dorton

The state of Hawaii has a brilliant plan to rid itself of homeless tramps while saving millions.

How will they achieve this?

By deporting the homeless back to the continental U.S.

The “return to home” program is set to launch this fiscal year — the state will purchase one-way plane tickets, and eventually even beds on cruise ships, to send homeless people back to their families in other regions of the country, reports MSN News.

I like the "Return to Home" idea. The US government should implement the same or allow states to do the same with the ILLEGAL hordes.

“I like the “Return to Home” idea. The US government should implement the same or allow states to do the same with the ILLEGAL hordes. “

Illegals are like strays. They’ll stay as long as you feed and care for them. As for the homeless, they’ll use the tickets for vacations, but they will be back. Many of them are far from penniless. The Sarasota paper hired a privet detective. He found that many had retirement incomes. They just didn’t want to be tied to a house. When the weather was stormy, they got motel rooms.

Hawaii hands out gub’mint freebies like candy. A giant wefare state. It’s like feeding the bears. Stop issueing out welfare programs and the beach critters will figure out a way to move on.

Most homeless in Hawaii have family in Hawaii and choose that lifestyle. And the homeless who are from somewhere else have probably learned to like living in the state.

It sounds as though Hawaii believes that the GOP might get the food stamp cut they are working on.

So,,,, if I buy a one way ticket to the Islands, hang out for a month or so, can I then claim to be homeless and get a free ticket home? I could stay a lot longer if I didn’t have to pay for a round trip ticket!

The Hawaiian gub’mint freebie bums are hurting Hawaii’s primary industry - tourism. Who knew that those liberal, lefty Kamaainas are really dirty rotten capitalist pigs?

Save a lot of money; book them on U.S. bound freighters which sometimes have spare quarters aboard. I’d say have them work their passage, but the crew has a union that would not like that precedent.
