STATE OF HAWAII . .
HOUSE RESOLUTION
DECLARING HAWAII TO BE A HO'OKIPA (WELCOMING) STATE.
1 WHEREAS, the State motto " [u]a mau ke ea 'o ka "dina i ka
2 pono, " which means, " [t]tle life of the land is perpetuated in
3 righteousness, " reminds us that our deepest community values
4 compel us to welcome the visitor and care for the wanderer in
5 our midst; and
6
7 WHEREAS, the traditional Hawaiian value of ho'okipa, or
8 open-hearted hospitality, calls us to welcome the visitor and
9 the stranger alike, and to unselfishly extend to others the best
10 that we have to give; and
II
12 WHEREAS, Hawaii is justifiably proud, of its diverse
13 immigrant heritage, which has woven the many people of this
14 State into a rich tapestry of races, ancestral groups,
15 religions, cultures, and languages from all over the world; and
16
17 WHEREAS, Hawaii's unique spirit of inclusiveness allows its
18 diverse people to live in relative harmony because of our
19 respect and aloha for each other and our commitment to peace and
20 justice; and
21
22 WHEREAS, our state and county governments cultivate a
23 culture of inclusion when they ensure that all people in our
24 communities receive equal protection under the law and
25 respectful treatment, without regard to their race, national
26 origin, ancestry, or citizenship status; and
27
28 WHEREAS, Hawaii's inclusionary and peaceful culture is now
29 threatened by inflammatory rhetoric and harsh federal policies
30 that vilify immigrants, divide communities and families, and
31 create fear and suspicion among different racial, ethnic, and
32 ancestral groups; and
33
I do hereby certify that the within document
is a full, true and correct copy of the original
HR76 HD1 %MD HA 2017 on file in this office.

8 communities; and
9
10 WHEREAS, in the face of discriminatory policies and the
11 element of uncertainty in the promulgation and execution of
12 continually evolving orders and policies of the federal
13 government, the State of Hawaii and its leaders are encouraged
14 to advocate for the protection of all residents, including
15 immigrants, and their due process rights, as guaranteed by both
16 the Constitutions of the United States of Hawaii; now therefore

23 with federal immigration agencies; and
24
25 BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the State and its political
26 subdivisions are requested to not expend state or county funds
27 by entering into any agreements under section 287 (g) of the

32 in connection with the deportation of undocumented immigrants
33 who have not been convicted of committing a violent crime; and
34
35 BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that certified copies of this
