After the election last year, the New Zealand Parliament also appeared in Paulo Garcia, a Philippine member.
In the past two years, the number of Philippine people has surpassed Indian immigrants in New Zealand’s new immigrants every year.
According to the New Zealand Statistics Bureau, in the year of January 2024, New Zealand’s annual net immigrant number hit a new record of 133,800.
The first ranking was Indian immigrants, an increase of 51,000.
The Philippine immigrants ranked second to 36,500.
Indian immigrants fell to third to 28,800.
The workers are the largest sources of immigration -from July 1, 2022 to March 10, 2024, the top three of the number of certified employers issued by the Immigration Bureau are India (29,589 copies) and the Philippines (24,377 copies (24,377 copies) And India (14,596 copies).
Because of the good English, the Philippine workers are active in various industries in New Zealand because of their good English. They are the best occupations of the Philippines -nurses, dairy industry (farm workers) and construction industry.
How easy is it easy for a foreign migrant worker to support their families. Like many Chinese workers, their living conditions are not ideal.
It is also exploited by intermediaries and employers, and locals are targeted at
At the earliest, whether to engage in nurses or workers in New Zealand, Philippine immigrants were easily exploited by intermediaries and employers.
They were charged high fees and obtained misleading information for New Zealand registration and employment.
Many Philippine workers cannot receive statutory wages and will be deducted multiple times to repay the agent.

Until 2017, the Philippine government reached a breakthrough agreement with the Auckland Manukau Health Bureau to bypass the Philippine nurses by the agencies.
The Philippine of Canterbury also established the New Zealand Philippine Dairy Workers’ Organization (INC) to provide support, and the exploitation situation has improved.
However, in many cases, the Philippine workers holding work -signed -working signed are still weak and passive.
On Christmas Eve last year, Ele Holdings, a nationwide (architecture) manpower company in New Zealand, announced that it was stuck in a quagmire. 750 Philippine workers were still working on the construction site and suddenly received a remanse notice.
Many of them work on the Oakland airport, and some work at the new Outlets shopping mall at the Auckland airport.
After the unemployment, many workers couldn’t afford the rent and were forced to sleep in the car.
In addition to the risk of exploitation, they often face some unfriendly treats, because some New Zealand locals complain that foreign workers have grabbed their rice bowls.
Someone said before that the company used certified employer’s work signing to guarantee three Philippine workers to New Zealand and get a salary higher than them.
He believes that these Philippine people do simpler work than local workers.
The postplayer also bluntly stated that he and his colleagues did not want to train these new people and would threaten the boss with resignation.
Locals can’t find jobs or low salary, they will blame foreign workers.
Even, sending the money to the country will be sent back to the country by some New Zealanders to "do not contribute."
Netizens have noisy: I don’t understand immigration
Back to the beginning of the article, many people think that the Philippine immigrants are just to make fast money and return to their own country to live, and have not made much contribution to New Zealand.
In their opinion, immigrants should be integrated into New Zealand and spend the money they earned here, otherwise they are "unsustainable."
The comment area was noisy, and the opposition was mostly.
Some people point out that integrating New Zealand is not so easy. Sending money returning to China is not only supporting family members, but also leaving themselves.
"Do you know the technical immigration policy of New Zealand? Doctors, nurses, psychologists, teachers, dentists have the opportunity … It is not easy to become a permanent resident of New Zealand."
"It is too humane to say that immigrants ‘unsustainable’.
"Immigration taxes have made obvious contributions to the economy, and New Zealand has not spent a penny for their education and growth. This is already a win -win situation."
"Everyone has the right to freely control their money and move to work and live in other countries.
"Have you considered it? These immigrants have just contributed to the economy when they come to work in New Zealand.
"Your colleagues do not grow up here. Their education, medical care and growth do not spend a penny of the New Zealand government. When they come here to work, they can’t contact any benefits.
"Their salary was taxed, the oil was taxed, and everything they bought was taxedIndore Stock. As a result, they were said to be‘ unsustainable ’.
"Let me tell you what is not sustainable -filling the vacancy of GDP with cheap immigrant labor, instead of finding a way to make those native New Zealanders contributed to it.
"Next time, before you criticize the immigration, think about why someone grows up here. The New Zealanders can have been engaged in the work where immigrants are engaged in, but they leave New Zealand. This is the answer."
There are also Chinese comments that these overseas workers are much stronger than subsidies.
Although most people are opposed to the saying that "immigrants do not contribute to returning home", many people who have repeatedly explained this discussion show that there are also many people who have this idea.
Similar discussions include "Should children of immigrant workers go to school for free" and so on.
