I like that plan. The least we can do for the state that gave us Dumbama is to give them several hundred thousand murderous Islamic nut jobs.

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".
