why do you say ''chinese'' as if im sterotyping? They are mostly chinese.
I dought most of the asians here are students. I live in auckland, and the majority of asians i see are not 18-24 which is average student age, there are ALOT of asian adults here and i highly dought they all have business'. I would think the most common way the asians get over here is through family ties.. it being alot easier to get residency here if some of your family has already infiltrated this country and all.
'The govt has specifically said it's going to give priority for jobs to NZ citizens.'
Bit late now isnt it? I mean the problem with letting an immigrant come here(especially from china because we have far better off lifestyle) that starts a business is that it has a terrible ripple effect for NZ'rs.
-Mr Li who's family wants to gtfo of china all save up
-They give Li all there money so he can go start business in NZ
-NZ ofcourse accepts him, because hes going to boost our economy and create jobs
-Those jobs however wont go to NZ'rs, they usually go to people from china as it allows him to operate his business better(because they can speak mandarin) and because he'd rather support chinese than NZ'rs.
-Once he has been here long enough, all his family who helped him start his business can now move over here
-Now, who gets those jobs at Li's business? Not us NZ'rs, no, its his family who otherwise wouldnt have been able to come here.
If you dont believe me, then go look at any takeways, dairy, supermarket or anything - they arent all just random asians who arent related that are working there, they are cousins, brothers, sisters, uncles, aunts etc.
All we are doing by allowing people to come here if they can start a business is allowing poor people from shit countries to come here and do this exact process, in not creating jobs for us but creating jobs for themselves and there families so they can collect in the the rewards of living in NZ.
