The WHY is a good question, but also HOW?
Landing on the beaches is no big deal, you just need the air superiority on the specific landing grounds.
Moving inland is no big deal, as long as you have air support and a mechanized army.
But then what?
You're standing on a tiny edge of a vast landscape, and even controlling the major cities would consume so much of an invading army that moving further and gain control over the entire country is a far fetched dream...
Only China or India could raise the manpower to get close, but they would probably be swimming around sinking vessels before they had even got close to Hawai.
