This could have some interesting consequences for teams in our conference. If players from American Samoa don't get a special permit (since they're not U.S. citizens), Hawai'i's screwed.

Citizens of American Samoa are US Nationals (as opposed to citizens), but best I can tell they don't need a Visa to come to the US.
