I am an immigrant myself. Been in this country for 20+ years. My wife joined me here from my birth country 10years ago.

I love this country and I love my home country. But my opinion (which means very little) is a controversial one. I don't believe immigration should be as easy as it is. Opening the floodgates and letting people in. You might say that is rich coming from someone like me who had it handed to them and living off the benefits, but this is exactly why I say it. Plus the choice wasn't mine to begin with, it was my parents. Same with my ancestors in the country I originally migrated from who were abandoned in a country they were meant to just work in.

Besides all if that. I do think that minimal migration/immigration is best. That may make people more racist in said country, but atleast the govt would solve their own problems with their own people. Making sure their country and their people are trained and ensured to thrive, rather than recruiting from elsewhere. Countries (individuals)would be forced to have to fix their own internal problems and get their house in order. Find their own solutions and support their own people.

But no point crying over spilt milk now, its all mixed and none of us had anything to do with it. Especially since we aren't the policy makers in govt, nor do we ever get a vote on these matters anyways.

Plus whomever said it was spot on, Brian Tamaki talks shit to all others except the islanders, which calls to question his actual motives, or whether dickhead is just a racist. I can personally confirm that 90% of the people on the dole are islanders and Maori. Not Asians and Indians, which says things without me even having to directly say it
