Hawaii is not a sanctuary state. Contrary to Senator Hirono's statements, entry into this country is a privilege, not a right. And our AG is shamefully suing the President over the moratorium. I'm sure many of Hawaii's politicians are siding with the left on this, so we the people need to voice OUR position on this very important issue.
THIS IS NOT A MUSLIM BAN. It is a moratorium on immigration
from countries where terrorism is a problem and vetting is
problematic. The list of countries affected was established by
the Obama administration in 2015 and is now probably out of date
and in need of additional countries since the problem continues
to metastasize.
The fact that they are all Muslim majority countries should not be a reason to rename it a Muslim ban. It should be a wake-up call to those who can't say the words "radical Islamic terrorism". THAT's what is being targeted. It's real and is an actual clear and present danger. ISIS has said they intend to infiltrate the refugee stream.
This action is within the President's purview. Section 212(f)
of the Immigration and Nationality Act of 1952 says, “Whenever the
president finds that the entry of aliens or of any class of aliens into
the United States would be detrimental to the interests of the United
States, the president may, by proclamation, and for such period as he
shall deem necessary, suspend the entry of all aliens or any class of
aliens as immigrants or non-immigrant’s or impose on the entry of aliens
any restrictions he may deem to be appropriate.”

I have been reading through the feedback from everyone and it is clear that people here are tired of being misrepresented by those in office who refuse to look at the reality of global security threats. It is exhausting to constantly see our state painted as a monolith when there are so many of us who agree that basic vetting is just common sense. I am currently working on a way to get these names into the right hands because the politicians need to see that we are paying close attention to their legal stunts.

I really thought this would just sit here unnoticed because the local narrative feels so locked down but the feedback lately has been wild. It is honestly refreshing to see that so many people in the islands share these concerns about national security despite what the politicians are insisting on television.

This is a national security issue--a very important one that should not be politicized.
President Trump is doing his job - protecting the safety and security of the citizens of the United States!
Yes, we support President Trump Immigration Moratorium. I am a legal immigrant to Kauai and our family waited 9 years before we could join our father in Hawaii. What is 90 days compared to 9 years? Even President Obama had a 6 month immigration Moratorium during his presidency. He and Michelle Obama out to butt out - their time is over.
Leftist liberal Europe figured out that making it easy for bad guys to get in was a bad idea. Why can't our country, let alone our own state figure it out. Thank you Mr. Trump for not caving in to political correctness for standing your ground on this issue! Thank you for ACTUALLY KEEPING YOUR PROMISE!
I support the memorandum! Halt these immigrants from entering until we have a system in place to support and screen!
He is keeping his promises and he is keeping my support on all his Exec. Orders.
We will make America Great Again!
