By "they" you mean white people who were hired to move there in mass by American industrialists to take it over and outvote the native Hawaiians? The BS story the right pushes about Mexico trying to take over the US using immigrants actually happened in Hawaii.

Inaccurate

There was NO vote! There was NO treaty of annexation! The people in fact signed petitions in opposition! 🙄 Bill Clinton apologised on behalf of the US government in the 90s acknowledging the US's illegal occupation. It was merely talk without action, but it's an acknowledgement of guilt at the bare minimum.

False statehood was A Ploy to disguise a American insurrection and invasion and military occupation..The kingdom of Hawaii still exists..Ameryhas no legal jurisdiction over The kingdom of Hawaii..So you are incorrect..
