I am a long time Hawaii resident and I strongly oppose this plan . Hawaii has very few muslims and , to my knowledge , no mosques . We don’t need either one . Not now , not ever .

It;s not a joke , Hawaii the bulwark of freedom and American values on the far western front . In the future , in any conflicts with China , Russia or North Korea , we will be the front lines . As we were in WW2 .
Never forget Pearl Harbor . Furthermore , Hawaii serves as a vital U.S. Armed Forces forward operating point for the entire Pacific . It is not just a nest of Leftist Liberals or Unions Democraps .
We have the 25th Infantry Division here at Scofield , to include Wheeler Field , We have the vast Joint Base Peral Harbor -Hickham ( USN-USAF ) and we have the entire 3rd Marine Regiment and ancillary commands . We also have PTA , the largest ground maneuver and live fire range and training area in the entire Pacific . ALL of these are crucial to the greater America’s safety and security . To top it all off , we have 10’s of 1000’s of happily retired U.S. Armed Forces veterans and the biggest VA hospital facility int he entire Pacific as well .
Tell me this is not worth protecting .... screw the rotten Libs , DEFEND HAWAII ! It’s America and it’s vital . To lose it would be insane . ( and it doesn’t need to be injected with un-vetted moslem ‘refugees’ )

Send them all there, then we can release them from statehood. Good riddance. They are the only state with more liberals than Conservatives.

You may not know this, and I only learned of it this last year, but Hawaii is only a state because of a bargain struck with Democrats in congress.

It seems that Alaska had met the requirements to be designated a state, but the Democrats were loath to allow the addition of another Republican state to the Union because that would upset the balance of Senators and Representatives against their favor.

Republicans worked a compromise with them to admit heavily Democrat Hawaii at the same time as Alaska so that Democrats would not be so negatively affected by the addition of another two Republican Senators.

Isn't it nice how our Parties can work so closely together to make sure they keep the status quo the way they like it?

Hawaii shouldn't have been a state, and wouldn't have been were it not for this "compromise".

I fully empathize with you, and I must admit I am joking. I do not want anymore Muslims allowed into the nation at all. No good will come of it.

DC offices are open until 6 pm EST.

Call your reps and tell them not one Syrian refugee is to be admitted to the USA.

You do not want another 9/11.

You do not want another Paris ...this time on our soil.

For the morons in DC who say we need to take our fair share of refugees, our fair share was 7,000 dead men and women killed in Iraq and Afghanistan, and 50,000 wounded warriors.

That was our fair share.

The Arabs with all their oil money can take care of their brothers.

Not our problem.

Make the call. It is time the jerks in DC are reminded who the bosses of this country really are.

Send all of them there. To the leper colony on the island of Moloka’i, and strictly keeping them segregated from the rest of the Hawaiian population, removing all US citizens from the island altogether.

Could hold a lot of them. And plenty of time to get them fully vetted.

And of course, remind them every day this WAS a leper colony.

Hawaii wasn't heavily Democrat back then. Territorial Hawaii had long been dominated by White Yankees.

Hawaii sent a Republican, Hiram Fong, to the Senate. It was Alaska that sent all Democrats to Washington.

It was only after the Japanese got involved in politics in a big way that Hawaii was reliably Democrat. But people didn't know that back in 1959-1960
