"The US mainland and Asia have been the main sources of immigrants to Hawaii since the early 19th century. Immigration remains a major source of population growth: between 1950 and 1980, Hawaii's net gain from migration was 91,000, and between 1980 and 1983, 15,000. In the 1980s, migration accounted for 23% of the net increase in population.
Since the early 1970s, about 40,000 mainland Americans have come each year to live in Hawaii. More than half are military personnel and their dependents, on temporary residence during their term of military service. From 1985 to 1990, Hawaii suffered a net loss from migration within the US, but experienced an overall net gain in migration due to immigration from abroad. Between 1990 and 1998, the net loss from domestic migration was 80,000. During the same period there was a net gain of 51,000 from international migration. In 1998, 5,465 foreign immigrants arrived in Hawaii. Between 1990 and 1998, the state's overall population increased 7.6%. In the period 1995–2000, 125,160 people moved into the state and 201,293 moved out, for a net loss of 76,133, of whom about 44,192 moved to California."

Now do the math. Where do you get jobs and resources for these sorts of numbers?
It doesn't take a genius to note that Hawaii as a state could not have afforded to support this without assistance. How do you think they did it? Federal help of course. How did they get that for foreigners? Well, make some of them NON-foreign... the littlest kids. It would not be a huge number, it would have to be kids under 1 year of age. But you add up those numbers from 1959 to when ever it was they stopped doing it, and there could literally be thousands of babies, now anchor babies, who got Hawaiian COLB's and with that US. Citizenship.
If this ONLY happened 100 times in a year.... yea. There could be a LOT of "citizens" affected over the whole time period.
As for getting index records, as far as I know there is no one location to get specific collated numbers for babies born to Foreign Born Immigrants. As far as I know, Hawaii is making access to index records difficult at the very best. BDZ and MissTickly would have that information more readily available than I do. It is they who have been doing that research. All I know for certain is that Hawaii is bending over backwards to make getting this information as difficult as possible.
That is where people should be looking. Not for Barry's crappola. Cracking this nut means cracking Hawaii's immigration records.
So in light of that here is this link:

This is what is on the page, a good starting point for immigration numbers:

| Immigration Impact: Hawaii |

All numbers are from the U.S. Census Bureau unless otherwise noted. Additional Census Bureau, INS, and other immigration-related data are available for Hawaii. Hawaii’s population increased by 16 percent between 1990 and 2000, and by 6 percent between 2000 and 2006, bringing Hawaii’s total population to approximately 1.3 million. Approximately 30.6 percent of the total population increase between 2000 and 2006 in Hawaii was directly attributable to immigrants. FAIR estimates the illegal alien population in 2005 at 3,000. This number is 50% above the U.S. government estimate of 2,000 in 2000, and 50% below the 1990 estimate of 6,000. According to an estimate of the Pew Hispanic Center, in 2005 there were an estimated 20,000 to 35,000 illegal aliens living in Hawaii.2/ FAIR estimates in 2004 that the taxpayers of Hawaii spent $7.2 million per year on illegal aliens and their children in public schools.3/ |

Foreign-Born Population
Hawaii’s foreign-born population increased by over 10.6 percent between 2000 and 2006. During that period Hawaii gained almost 22,000 immigrants, bringing the total number of foreign-born residents in the state to over 234,000.
Population Profile
Hawaii increased by nine percent, or 100,000 people, between 1990 and 2000
Hawaii’s foreign-born population increased 30 percent during the 1990s. Between 1990 and 2000, Hawaii gained 50,000 immigrants
Impact on Environment and Quality of Life
Disappearing Open Space: Each year, Hawaii loses 1,400 acres of open space and farmland due to development.4/
A study of urban sprawl between 1970 and 1990 that calculated the impact of population increase and per capita land use found that 23.7 square miles of additional land were consumed by urban sprawl in the Honolulu metropolitan area, and 100 percent of that sprawl was attributable to population increase. 5/
Crowded Housing: In 2005 37,538 Hawaii households were defined as crowded or severely crowded by housing authorities.6/ Studies show that a rise in crowded housing often correlates with an increase in the number of foreign-born.7/,8/
Poverty: 11.7 percent of immigrants in Hawaii have incomes below the poverty level, a 2 percent decrease since 2000. Among non-citizens, the rate climbs to 4.5 percent. 9/
Traffic: As population growth put more traffic on the roads, the average commute for Hawaii residents increased ten percent during the 1990s, to 26 minutes in 2000, 10/ and to 25.7 in 2005. 11/ 23% of Hawaii's major urban roads are congested and 65 percent of Hawaii's major roads are in poor or mediocre condition. Vehicle travel on Hawaii's highways increased 15% from 1990 to 2003. 12/
Driving on roads in need of repair costs Hawaii motorists $289 million a year in extra vehicle repairs and operating costs --- $347 per motorist. Congestion in the Honolulu metropolitan area costs commuters $331 per person in excess fuel and lost time. 13/ 16 percent of commuters had a commute that was at least 45 minutes in 2007. 14/
Solid Waste: Hawaii generates 1.4 tons of solid waste per capita. 15/
Education: It is projected that the enrollment of Hawaii’s K-12 students will increase by over 20,000 (11 percent) students by the year 2015, to a total K-12 enrollment of 203,000. 16/ 17/ Hawaii’s student-teacher ratio of 16.3 currently ranks 38th in the U.S. 18/
As a result of the swelling student population, schools throughout the state are struggling with overcrowding. Some schools on Windward Oahu and East and Central Honolulu are stretched beyond their physical abilities, and even new schools are finding themselves filled beyond capacity within a few years. Some schools are trying to cope by switching to year-round, multi-track scheduling.19/
The state Department of Education forecasts a classroom shortage crisis in the next few years, which will result in even more overcrowding. “New schools, additional classroom building, and additional classrooms to alleviate overcrowding will not be built in sufficient quantities or in a timely manner,” says one school official.20/
In some areas, like Kane’ohe, classes are being held in converted closets, stage dressing rooms, teacher’s lounges, and a patio. In some cases, two classes are forced to share the same room at the same time.21/
Under a 1985 compact between the United States and newly independent Micronesia and the Marshall Islands, citizens of those territories may freely migrate to the U.S. To protect Hawaii from a major resettlement burden, the agreement specified that annual reports would be sent to Congress on the impact on Hawaii and the Pacific territories as a result of the compact to allow remedial actions. The Interior Dept. failed to issue those reports from 1989 to 1996, and the Hawaiian government sued the federal government to recoup outlays for the migrants.22/ The suit was dismissed by a federal appeals court as a political matter for Congress to resolve. However, the lawsuit caught the federal government's attention and has led to a new catch-up report and some federal assistance. Then-governor Ben Cayetano cited Census data showing that 4,815 immigrants from the two countries have migrated to Hawaii since 1985 and that nearly 40 percent of them were living below the poverty level, affecting welfare, health care, and crime.23/
