Snow, they don't come here for the mountains. They come for the gift of taxpayer-funded cash flow and the gift of roads, hospitals, water supplies, sewerage, stormwater pipes, electricity supplies, and the whole panoply of what we have gone to a lot of effort to build. If you look closely at that map you linked, you'll see that Auckland, where they come [mostly], disappears. Brazil will lose less land proportionally than New Zealand. We know why they aren't trying to get into Brazil. It's the same reason they aren't sneaking into the hutongs of Beijing - life is awful there and great here [Helen Clark and Coven can't ruin it all in a few years]. Mqurice
