Publishers note;
Aloha Readers,

   Hotels and motels when at capacity and filled will hang a 'no vacancy' sign on their doors. What happens when an Island, city or even a country is full, should they be able to hang a "No Vacancy" sign too?

Nothing is what it was, it's time for a change. Maybe it's time for a timeout, to regroup and take time to make things pono, better...

No Vacancy at our borders and right here at home

Blog #2038~Kimo's world #285

It may be time to hang them!

“No vacancy signs” not only at our country’s Mexican border but right here at home in the 50th state. 

Illegal immigration is at an all-time high. U.S. officials expect a million additional illegal immigrants this fiscal year, as the Border Patrol

is currently apprehending up to 4,000 a day. Most will claim asylum, entitling them to government benefits costing the US taxpayer billions.

Illegal alien apprehensions are way up from last year.
Mexico is doing very little for us at the Southern Border.
DEMS IN CONGRESS MUST ACT NOW!

 Hawaii homelessness is at an all-time high along with out of control record tourism. 

Many local's can no longer

afford the high cost of living in Hawaii because of the high cost of real estate escalated by tourism and out of state home sales to wealthy people forcing rental prices to all-time highs.

   Landowners no longer rent by the month, when they can rent one night as a vacation rental for what they may bring in for a months rental.

Many states are said to give their homeless and poor one-way tickets to Hawaii to assume liability for their down and out population.  Hawaii already has an out of control house-less and homeless crisis of their own.

Now on top- of everything else, the good and bad news, the double-edged sword--so to speak. Southwest Airlines is finally flying to the Aloha state bringing airfares to their lowest in many years. This has prompted many to finally bring on their bucket list trip to come to Hawaii, an already over-stressed and over-populated tourist destination stressing every infrastructure in the book.

It's time to do what hotels and motels do when they can no longer accommodate any more guests, it's time to display the 'NO Vacancy' sign at our Airport's and on every travel destination website where vacation packages are sold.

Look what happened after the Kaua'i North shore floods and the road to Ke'e beach was shut down for a

year.  The beach returned to its turquoise color, the reefs were restored, turtles returned in vast numbers, along with fish, and the people living on the North shore trusted each other and became neighborly again.

There needs to be a time to hang a 'No Vacancy' sign, time out is needed to regroup and re-organize. Change is needed.

In memory

Her name is Lori Gilbert-Kaye.

She was praying at synagogue today. Then hate entered. Lori was shot and killed. She is the one reported fatality at the tragedy in Poway. In that one moment, a universe was snuffed out.

When Lori turned 60, she posted this photo of herself.

She wrote

"Fearless at 60! As I enter a new decade, I am full of "gratitude" & thankfulness for the many blessings in my life. As I said on my 40th & 50th birthdays:

Life is not measured by the breaths we take, but BY the moments that take our breath away."

We mourn.

Lori Gilbert-Kaye. She leaves behind a daughter, a husband, and so many moments that we today cherish, never to come again.

May her memory be a blessing.

"My heartfelt condolences for Lori's friends and family 

and pray to an end to all these hate crimes."
