Referencing Refugees?

Aloha kakou he Hawai'i, PAU!
I have recently been apprised of that the U. S. Army Compound of the Pu'uhonua Pohakuloa is alleged to have 1500 Middle East Refugees for the sole purpose of providing General Labor needs of the Camp.
There are three International Airports in Hawai'i, all of which should have "IMMIGRATION"! However, Military Air Transportation Service (MATS) can be exempt from the process. When I was in the U. S. Army most of my transportation was in the back of a well covered "Duce & Half " and no body including me, knew where I was going or doing?
Anyone knowing or hearing of the same please confirm such with me. Now I know why Hawaii's Attorney Chin was so adamant of filing first "Sanctuary Status" in the United States of America.
Anyone remember the "downsizing" of U. S. Military presence in the Pacific Command? Does anyone have an idea or inclination of what Schofield Barracks is worth in Hawaii's "Real Escape" Market? It has to be at least twenty times more than Ho'opili? Certainly, more than enough to Urbanized Pohakuloa and add more "Middle Easters" Plantation Immigrants?.
Now we have a clearer picture of the need of Mauna Kea and it is not outer space? hiki no?
Ah!, the Plantations still exist for only the crap (crop) has changed!

-The Hawaiian people has a right to over 1.8 million acres of the former Crown and government lands of the Kingdom of Hawaii which were illegally transferred to the US and as a condition of Statehood.
-Much of the lands currently held by DOT are public trust lands where the traditional, customary, and subsistence access and gathering rights of the Hawaiian people are reserved and have been since the time of the Māhele (1848) and Kuleana Act of 1850.
-Hawaiian rights to access lands for traditional, customary, and subsistence purposes are recognized in the Hawaii State Constitution (1978) Article XII Section 7 which gives the government a duty to “protect all rights customarily and traditionally exercised for subsistence, cultural and religious purposes.”
-The right to access lands was reconfirmed by the court in the Kalipi vs. Hawaiian Trust (1982) case.
-The cultural and customary access rights of the Hawaiian people were further expanded in the courts in the Paty vs. Pele Defense Fund (1992) and in the Public Access and Shoreline vs. Hawaii County Planning Commission (1995) court decisions.
-This bill criminalizes Hawaiian rights to access public lands for traditional, customary, and subsistence purposes and provides no accommodations and protections for Hawaiians and initially assumes guilt -putting the burden of legal protection of rights upon the Hawaiian people.
-This coupled with the fact that the Hawaiian people as a group are socio-economically challenged would give undue hardship and stress to the people of the ‘āina (land).

"Who is Mr. Carter or any other foreigner to tell a Hawaiian we cannot use the word haole?"
Throwback Thursday: In 1990 a letter written by a 32 year old Caucasian student at the University of Hawaiʻi at Mānoa was published in the Ka Leo newspaper. The student claimed the Hawaiian word "haole" was derogative and equated it to the term nigger. In response, Professor Haunani-Kay Trask published an article in the same newspaper where she provided a brief history of Hawaiʻi, discussed the decline of our language and highlighted the narrative of white supremacy in America. Following her response came a flood of controversy, which included threats to remove her as the Director for the Center of Hawaiian Studies. In spite of it all, Trask was able to keep her position as director, going on to inspire and educate many of today's Kānaka Maoli leaders.
