We’ve pretty much resigned to the fact that we won’t be travelling to Oahu at all this year. Hawaii, like here in Australia, is doing the best they can to minimise the spread of infection on their island. At least Australia is a country and can actually stop people from entering - Hawaii being a state is still going to have mainlanders who think it’s their right to cross the border. I know that there was at least one mainlander (from Vegas) who alongside an Australian visitor who were subject to a manhunt when they continued to flaunt Oahu’s restrictions leading to an eventual deportation. Fingers crossed Hawaii‘s officials maintain a strict stance to minimise the impact the disease will have.
Sorry but it is their constitutional right as the freedom of movement through the US is governed by the Privileges and Immunities Clause of the United States Constitution which states, "The Citizens of each State shall be entitled to all Privileges and Immunities of Citizens in the several States." This isn't the Mexico and US border. The last time I checked the mainland and Hawaii were part of a union called the United States of America. This doesn't excuse people's behavior for breaking the law by ignoring the quarantining, but I don't like it when people seem to think the island of Hawaii belongs to only a select few people that reside there and anyone visiting must feel grateful to be allowed to even visit as if we are foreigners in another country. I'm sure you leave your state all the time and you don't even think twice about feeling grateful for being allowed to do so.
