If all we were interested in was the welfare of non-New Zealand citizens, we might have entirely open borders (At the present, with border restrictions across most countries, this could become problematic).Samnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2830084253401570472.post-995103604235650512015-07-14T10:29:22.249+12:002015-07-14T10:29:22.249+12:00Only one winner... the migrants who get a better l...Only one winner... the migrants who get a better life than they otherwise could have had as evidenced by their having chosen it?Eric Cramptonhttp://offsettingbehaviour.blogspot.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2830084253401570472.post-65645570702326015552015-07-14T08:40:13.160+12:002015-07-14T08:40:13.160+12:00$60k IS above local rates for a graduate in Dunedi...$60k IS above local rates for a graduate in Dunedin.
