They have about a million legal immigrants.
But it's cool if you guys think that USA should adopt a similar immigrant policy to NZ. Now about 25% of New Zealanders are immigrants. For comparison US has 15%.
Once again we see lying with the truth. You are basically the CNN of PFA. Most of the stuff you say is technically true, but almost always completely dishonest.
For example, to emigrate to New Zealand you have to demonstrate a skill they determine they are in need of, and it is normally very highly skilled professions (e.g. health professional or computer scientist). Or alternatively you can give them a shit ton of money, which a lot of rich people from around the world do when they want to move to New Zealand.
New Zealand basically allows no refugees (capped at 750 per year and they often don't even reach this number) and they don't have automatic birthright citizenship. So New Zealand's immigration and naturalization policies are pretty draconian compared to our own, and if any US administration tried to switch to the NZ system, our Supreme Court would shut them down in a second.
