• Trump learned well from Bill English

    Prime Minister Bill English once described Middle Eastern asylum
    seekers as "leftovers" who should be blocked from entering New
    Zealand.

    Just over 10 years ago he criticised then-Prime Minister Helen Clark
    as being a "soft touch" on migrants - and promised a National
    Government would "turn the green light red".

    "New Zealand is now seen as a soft touch for other fascists,
    terrorists, whoever is on the losing side in bad regimes, unwanted at
    home and unable to get into any other country," he said.

    The comments were written in a National Party newsletter by Mr English
    on May 9, 2005. He was discussing the case of Ahmed Zaoui - an
    Algerian refugee who had been granted asylum, despite being identified
    as a security risk by the SIS.

    "If you turn up to the border with an apple, you get done. If you turn
    up with an Iraqi passport and references from Saddam Hussein, you get
    in," wrote Mr English.

    "We need migrants, but we don't need leftovers from Middle East
    terrorist regimes," he said in the 2005 newsletter.

    Mr English finished the spiel by saying the green light Labour had
    sent to the world would "certainly" be turned red by National.


    Friggin hilarious.

    But Bill English did not agree with everything - he said it could have
    been better implemented . . .

    Has the housing shortage become so bad you are trying to get readers
    of nz.general to open up their homes, george?
    What relevance does your question have to Bill English sharing Trumps
    racist views?

    Zaoui gained entry illegally. If Labour hadn't been such bleeding hearts
    he'd have been on the next plane back to Singapore.

    No Rich he's just trying to get you to put your money where your mouth is.

    You burble on about what should be done like the convenient marxist fool
    you are. But are quite happy to let marxists and possible terrorists
    into the country without requiring any comprehensive checks of them. So
    typical of the hypocritical, stupid, shit-for-brains loopy lefty you are.
