Nathan - thank you for having the courage to write about Sen Inouye's role in creating this human trafficking problem.  We all knew it but one is not supposed to point out his flaws.

Now we need to fix it.  If DLNR is not willing to make a rule denying fishing licenses to aliens who can't even enter Hawaii, the the Legislature needs to act and ban fishing in Hawaii waters by people who are not allowed to set foot in Hawaii.

That will both solve the human trafficking problem AND make for more fair competition to our own Hawaii fishermen.
