Cheap enough for them to easily buy a ticket back too.

I say send them to those garbage islands out in the Pacific. Settlers just like in the spirit of the pioneers and colonists. Nothing like savage forces of nature and the ever present threat of being eaten by sharks to force man to rise to the challenge. Plus the US needs to claim those garbage islands so other nations can't and what more legitimate way than to send settlers there.

What are the garbage islands of the Pacific? And what ones need American settlers to claim before someone else?

Every island is already owned by some nation or another already.

There are apparently areas (vast huge areas the size of midsize countries) in the Pacific where the currents gather and hold garbage that gets thrown into the ocean and makes its way to the open ocean. Since they're far from shipping lanes they were only discovered a few years ago.

High time for the US to fulfill its Manifest Destiny and claim the garbage islands I say.

But, those wouldn't be 'grounded'. Just floating debris?

Great Pacific garbage patch - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Aloha,

There was another thread that talked about Hawai'i exporting yhere homless and buying them oneway tickets. The mainlanders wined about why do jo taxpayer have to pay for the anti christ homless(lol) I thought it was funny because most of the homless in Hawai'i are the poor saps from the mainland who thought they could move there with a few thousand and no job and make it.

yep, dats them, All those people we see sleeping on the streets were office workers, teachers, wannabee waiters and servers, people with good jobs and skills like construction, journeymen, many who saw Blue Hawaii with Elvis and who thought they could move here and find a job. Now look at them, teeth falling out, boozed up, on meth and other drugs, stink, crazy and what else.. So astounding how fast one can deteriorate like that. I think for anybody who posts about moving here, we should point out "This will be you".

I guess I am going to have to find out what airline is going to fly them. Sitting next to a paranoid schizophrenic who hasn't had a bath in 2 years and is Jonesing for a dose of meth, all the way from Honolulu to Seattle is something I would rather avoid.

The military should loan a few transport planes.
