Such is life in Auckland...................New Zealand..

A  Somalian arrives in Manukau City as a new immigrant to New Zealand.

He stops the first person he sees walking down the street and says, Thank
you  Mr. New Zealand man for letting me in this country!"

But the passer-by says "You are mistaken, I am a Pakistani".

The man goes on and encounters another passer-by. "Thank you for having such a beautiful country here in New
Zealand!" The person says "I no Kiwi. I from Hong Kong"

The new arrival walks further, and the next person he sees he stops, shakes his hand and says
"Thank you for the wonderful Kiwiland!" That person puts up his hand
and says "I am from Iran, I am not Kiwi!"

He finally sees a nice lady and asks suspiciously,  "Are you a New Zealand citizen?" She says, "No, I from
Tonga!" So he is puzzled, and asks her,  "Where are all the New
 Zealanders?"


The Tongan lady looks at her watch, shrugs, and says... "Probably at
work."

TC, it is about that way here too. Do your immagrants get nice things handed to them from your govt, like they do from ours?

Free housing, free medical treatment, a weekly benefit of around $400 NZ when unemployed, free lawyers if needed, free education up to tertiary level and when they hit 65 years of age, an old age pension..."Emergency benefits" for this and that, for such things as car repairs and refrigerators and heaters etc. Don't get me wrong, a lot of immigrants are good people who add value to this country. It's just that I'm white, middle aged, always been fully employed and therefore taxed to hell and back to supply all this largess.

Worldwide we are seen a a "soft touch", and why wouldn't you want to leave Somalia or Nigeria to come here?

Why did you leave Holland?   Mmmm, from what I hear, you have major problems back there, and you know what I'm talking about!

Well I did not have much choice in leaving holland. I was under 2 years! we have the same thing going on here but most of ours are not productive at all.

I thought the answer would have been "they're all in Bondi", although now it's full of backpackers.

Two Iraqi spies meet in a busy restaurant, after they had successfully slipped into the U.S.

The first spy starts speaking in Arabic.

The second spy shushes him quickly and whispers: "Don't blow our cover! You're in America now. Speak Spanish!"
