Refugees and Asylum seekers come to New Zealand not because they want to but because it is no longer safe for them to live in their home country. Taking up refugees is a humanitarian cause but can also get us skilled workers and we can assimilate more knowledge and culture furthering our own. It is saving lives and furthering our culture and society, why wouldn't we take up more refugees? the sad thing is we only take up 750 a year.
What else can I help you with?
Why does New Zealand take refugees from Afghanistan?
New Zealand has an agreement with the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR) to take 750 people per year who have been classified as refugees by that organization. There are three main sub-categories: protection cases; women-at-risk; and medical/disabled. Family connections to people in New Zealand are taken into account. Asylum or Convention refugees are also accepted if their application meets the requirements of the New Zealand authorities. There is no set quota for this type of refugee. Any refugees from Afghanistan accepted by New Zealand will have met one or other of the sets of criteria.

What would New Zealand do if 100000 refugees come to New Zealand?
New Zealand would really struggle if 100,000 refugees arrived all at once. This is about the size of one of the 5 biggest cities in New Zealand, say Dunedin or Hamilton. New Zealand does not have the facilities for this many refugees, or even for this many people to arrive to live permanently, and refugees need a lot of support when they arrive as they have usually come from very different cultures and a stressful situation. Also, New Zealand is not a very multicultural society (predominantly European and Maori heritage) so integration can be difficult for some people, and therefore support systems are very important. New Zealand currently accepts less than a thousand refugees per year.
