for exclusive military rights the united states get the citizens the right to live and work in the united states for an unlimited amount of time and without need for a visa. have theseuntries privileges. there are only about 200 citizens and, and today about 50,000 of them live in the united states. the largest populations live in guam to hawaii. congress approved the agreement in 1986, the legislation stated in the" approving the compact, it is not the intent of congress to cause any adverse consequences for the united states territory and commonwealth or the state of hawaii." nevertheless, hawaii state government incurred significant costs to provide education, health care and other services to migrants. in 2011 alone hawaii's cost for migrants totaled approximately $115 million. that is a lot of money for a small state like hawaii. the bottom line is migrants are present in the united states because the federal national security policy. it is only fair the federal government's share part of the cost for providing services to them. all ye spends 30 million-40 million per year to provide health
