After Trump won, HNN ran the segment where Philippine Ambassador Jose Manuel Romualdez told illegal aliens here to leave voluntarily or risk never coming back. Migration Policy Institute estimates put about 23,000… pic.twitter.com/wNLPLqq2wU
We are a year and a half into this administration. They did not have to self-deport, because the interior pace here is still a trickle.
FAIR estimates put Hawaiʻi at about 51,000 illegal aliens total and a taxpayer hit near $771 million a year. Civil Beat’s ICE tallies show why that number barely moves: through mid-October 2025, Hawaiʻi had about 194 ICE arrests and about 106 removals. Against 23,000 Filipino illegal aliens alone, that is not mass removal.
American taxpayers eat the cost. Housing is tighter. Cost of living stays jacked. I asked DHS why so few illegal aliens in Hawaiʻi get detained. Waiting on an answer.
