    Are you sure? I’d expect the number applying to the US would be hundreds of times higher than the number applying to New Zealand.

    I don’t especially love or hate Biden btw, I mean I can’t stand US foriegn policy on the Gaza Genocide but it’s not like their other mainstream politicians wouldn’t have done more or less the same. It’s a real pity the US hadn’t been able to elect someone like Bernie Sanders.

      How so? Western, and especially Anglosphere, countries all get ridiculous amounts of immigrants. Also remember that New Zealand is a stone’s toss away from South East Asia. It’s a very attractive immigration destination for pacific islanders and Asians.
