New video shows officer's perspective in ICE shooting of Renee Good

[putnam6]

New Zealand's previous government offered to take the hundreds of 'boat people' that Australia has incarcerated on islands around Australia. This was done as a humanitarian gesture because Australia was in the grip of a right-wing government that was vilifying these imprisoned asylum seekers.

However, the current NZ government now consists of an alliance of a centre right wing party, and two other farther right wing parties. Although the current government has concentrated on supressing the rights of the indigenous people (the Māori) and Pacific Islanders, I'm fairly sure that they are anti-immigration of any type except Caucasians.

Also, New Zealand has more land area than Great Britain, which supports a population of approximately 70 million. We have a similar climate and our current population is only 5.3 million, so ultimately, our islands could easily support an extra 20 million people, however it might take some development to get there.

The United States, of course has 34 times the land area of New Zealand and so could probably support a population of a couple of billion, so I can't understand why its citizens can't understand its greatness and wealth are in its its people.

Fewer people means less money, less growth and less commercial power. It's current economy, status, and military power was built upon other than its native population - most of its inhabitants are immigrants.

But by all means, cut off your fingers and toes to better support a diseased head.

Thats a fairly paranoid and somewhat overly dramatic assessment 

it's gonna be okay, Scooter...
