I don't disagree with the policy in general.

We have enough need here without importing extra need. I would love it if we as a country could afford to care for all regardless of their need; but the pragmatist in me says that is simply not the case. In the real world, I would prioritize the care of New Zealanders over those of people trying to move here.
