Hawaii. just as is New York City. has been and continues to be a melting pot of diverse cultures and backgrounds. This is a primary source of Americas strength. Under the Constitution one who has most recently acquired citizenship stands on the same level with a descendant of the first immigrants. the Pilgrims. So the most recently admitted State to the Union is assuredly equal in rights. duties. and patriotism as the first 13. It is to recite the obvious that America was created. built and continues to be nurtured by "foreigners" and their ideas. No where has this tradition been greater than in the city of New York. How is it then that Hawaii. her people and her judiciary is less steeped in the spirit of Americanism? Certainly the people of Hawaii are no more foreign than those immigrants who settled in other States from Europe. Asia. Africa. and Latin America. or the Pilgrims.
