Letter: Hawaii should welcome embattled Ohio Haitians
Over the past four years, Hawaii has never wavered in its support for the Biden administration and its policies, including its stance on the millions of migrants coming through our southern border. In Hawaii, we understand that America is a nation of immigrants. We understand that we cannot turn our back on those who come here for a better life. To do so is hypocritical, inhuman and so not aloha.
And so, in the spirit of aloha, I would like to propose that we, in Hawaii, welcome all of Springfield, Ohio’s Haitian migrants into our state with open arms. With only 5% of our land currently developed, we have plenty of space. But more importantly, we have lots of aloha to help them build a better future.
