I understand what you're saying, but for all we know she advocates equal rights for foreign workers in Korea- the ones denying us things like bank cards and access to booking clubs are quite possibly different people. |
No, all Koreans think and act the same. Didn't you know? |

| It reads like she got pregnant in Korea with her Kiwi boyfriend, and doesn't want to go home-- not for the citizenship, but because she can't face her family maybe. |
Not really:

Sounds more like her and her Korean BF found an good english course and wanted to hang around for the semester. It's pretty big business in NZ. All up, a pretty bad decision on immis side IMO. Korean people with NZ accents are soooo cute. I remember going to the SK embassy in Wellington and hearing the lady there speaking with a half-korean, half kiwi accent. Quite a trip.

Tell me about it. The place is freaking overflowing with people I can barely walk naked down the main street of a provincial capital at 2 pm without as many as 5 people seeing me! What about my privacy! Damned Liberalls ~_~_] |

| Blame it on the Gangnam women. They started the whole trend. Thing is the dad's are partly to blame too. Anyway there is no one in the world quite like Korean women, like it or not. Once they've had kids and become ajummas then it just gets worse. |

'How could they do this to me and my baby?'  |
How's that? You have no rights? Give examples. |

| If she is pregnant with a daughter, it's kind of a shame because there may have been the possiblility that the girl would be hot and raised with a western mindset. |

Raised in New Zealand she would learn of the greatness of her royal majesty Queen Elizabeth II and she would defend the honor and life of the Queen of England.
New Zealanders are damn PROUD to be a member of the British Empire and to be subjects of her royal majesty the Queen of England.
GOD SAVE THE QUEEN OF ENGLAND! |

Right decision from immigration. New Zealand is a very small country - lacking resources - and with relatively open immigration (for selected immigrants).
NZ simply can't open the 'back door' to people trying to evade current immigration policy. Allowing this lady to overstay her tourist visa - and then letting to have her baby in NZ - could create a case for her to be allowed to stay and care for her child in NZ - and so on....... Read the Aussie papers, this is an old trick by people trying to get in the back door.
Also, it's all about precidents. NZ has to be extremely careful in setting back door precidents. It's naive in the extreme to think that such a case could not be used for future immigration policy changes -or for the parents to receive special visa extensions/considerations.
I'm sick of hearing Koreans (in Korea) tell me that "many Koreans' go to NZ to (ultimately) live in Australia." And I'm really tired of hearing Koreans tell me about how 'good' NZ's welfare system is.
While these emotional headlines might sell newspapers - they don't address the immigration problems NZ has created for itself. New Zealand needs educated, willing and able new citizens (who fullfil all the entry criteria deemed necessary for new citizens). What we don't need is more unqualified migrants using our lax immigration policies to achieve the good life or to get into Australia (via the back door).
It's about time NZ tightened up it's borders. |
