I wish we could do that.

Unfortunately, Hawaii is caught between a rock and a hard place. With the Compact of Free Association (CoFA), many residents of Micronesia and the Marshall Islands move to Hawaii and swell our welfare ranks. Many are sick and in need of dialysis... and the Hawaii taxpayers pick up the tab without reimbursement by the Feds. These people can migrate freely to the US and most end up in Hawaii.
