If you had read the article- and apparently you haven't- you would know that Civil Beat and its threads were used as a specific example of what mainlanders and transplants say about local people. I have seen people who have written that most local people are on welfare here as well numerous comments about how Hawaii is the most corrupt state. So, it not a matter of hearing but reading and seeing people's outright lies and dissembling about this state and its people.
Next time do some research before you make blatantly untrue surmises and speculations.
Finally, the article was not about the decision rendered by the Federal Judge, its legal validity or the legal validity of the Executive Order but about Sessions comments and his attitude toward the islands.
if you wish to opine about the former, comment on an another article specifically about that ruling, otherwise your comments here are ruled invalid and utterly wrong and blatant deceptions.
