Maurice, NZ has some formidable natural barriers to entry. I don't see what your problems could be. Most likely it is a vision thing. If NZ and/or the USA opened its borders to all, there would instantly be several billion people ready to move in. Obiously we would not think that would be a great idea. The bottom line - it becomes a vision thing. How do you control the situation such that there is a net benefit. First and foremost your own country's best interest has to come first. Secondarily the immigrant's . Asylum seekers are a special case - if they are relatively small in number. Otherwise they would have to wait in line with the others. Last, the impact it has on the rest of the world. In the US, the problem is largely with Mexico. The disparity between the two economies is just too big. There is no reason for this disparity. In my opinion, the problem is caused by Mexico's ruling class. For all kinds of reasons, they think more highly of themselves and feel a sense of entitlement. They feel they work harder, have better education, contributed more to their society and are generally more civilized. Does this all sound too familiar to you? Mary
