Kumar, there is no more hijacking citizenships in NZ by visiting while pregnant and dropping a bundle, or being illegally here and doing so. dia.govt.nz <Changes to Citizenship by Birth in New Zealand from 2006
Until the end of 2005, most children born in New Zealand (or in the Cook Islands, Niue or Tokelau) were automatically New Zealand citizens at birth (with few exceptions).

From 1 January 2006, children born in New Zealand (or in the Cook Islands, Niue or Tokelau) acquire New Zealand citizenship at birth only if at least one of their parents:

* is a New Zealand citizen; or
* has permanent residency (i.e. is entitled to be in New Zealand or Australia indefinitely); or
* is entitled to reside indefinitely in the Cook Islands, Tokelau or Niue.

For further information see the Changes to Citizenship by Birth in New Zealand from 2006 Frequently Asked Questions.

New Zealand citizenships are worth something like $1million, if they were properly traded in a commodities market. It's absurd to simply give that away to anybody who shows up wanting a freebie. Of course hordes of people would like to upgrade from their despoiled hovels of a place and take possession of the hard-earned assets created over a century in New Zealand.

I didn't work for years to simply hand it over to some Islamic Jihadist who will then tell me how to live my life and cut my throat if I fail to obey. I have enough of that with Helen Clark's gang though they just use prison rather than head-hacking.

It's ridiculous that Cook Islands people have rights to live here and own the place but we don't have rights to live there and own the place.
