Undesirable in Kailua-Kona, Hawaii United States

Kailua-Kona, Hawaii is as close to heaven as it gets weather wise, the sun shines year round the temperature never goes much below 60 at night and above 90 during the day. What happens when a visitor overstays or a person who came to Kailua-Kona to work, loses a job and becomes homeless and is considered undesirable, how is he or she handled? Charge the person with a crime and give the person a criminal record.
Here are a few supporting references from the West Hawaii News the local paper.

The draft environmental assessment for proposed Alii Drive improvements along Oneo Bay in Kailua-Kona was released this week.......
.....The landscape enhancements, particularly the proposed benches fronting Hale Halawai, did raise some concern at both the public meeting and in a letter from former police chief Lawrence Mahuna. Mahuna recommended that all benches for the purpose of resting should be on private property, which would allow property owners to issue trespass warnings to "undesirable" people using the benches.

The marijuana laws are an excellent "tool" for law enforcement to rid the state of undesirables.

In conclusion, how can it be that the laws are intentionally used to criminalize people who are considered undesirable?
