Thread: Sick of it all. Off to war.

Right I just saw this article and a few things jumped out at me. Soaring immigration levels positive for economy, no reason for xenophobic politics | Stuff.co.nz

"Immigrants in Auckland contribute much more to taxation and economic benefits. Therefore, their net contribution is higher than the local population."

There will be some new migrants competing with Kiwi workers for some low-value jobs, but they are in the minority.

Skilled migrants make up 60 per cent of total immigrants. With these new arrivals come new business, new investment and new connections with key export markets.

There you go, 36,000 odd unskilled migrants coming in each year to compete with locals for jobs. Seems like they are winning. This is all I have to say on this topic.

I would like to move the discussion from us being on the backfoot defending our reasons and right to own semi autos, to discussing crime and how we can solve it.

Violent armed robberies on dairy owners have increased a lot as taxes have gone up on cigarettes. I am not a smoker, but are we putting a public health goal ahead of the personal safety of dairy owners?

Would dairys get robbed if the owners were allowed to defend themselves with the same sometimes lethal force the burglar brings?
