New Zealand is living it. Canada is drowning in it.
Indian mass immigration has become the preferred policy lever for governments that refuse to do the hard work of building productivity, training locals, or investing properly in infrastructure. Instead, they import people at scale and call it growth, while everyday citizens are told to be quiet and thankful.
Scroll X for five minutes and the evidence is impossible to ignore. Canada is flooded with videos from locals who no longer recognise their cities. Housing is gone. Rents are exploding. Wages are crushed. Public services are overwhelmed. Social cohesion is fraying. Yet the intake continues, larger each year, faster than communities can absorb.

New Zealand is simply Canada on a delay.
We are told Indian immigration fills skills shortages, yet somehow the shortages never end. We are told it boosts the economy, yet living costs keep rising and quality of life keeps falling. We are told it is essential, yet no one can explain why productivity remains weak while population growth explodes.
This is not organic migration. This is industrial scale population replacement driven by visa factories, low wage business models, and politicians who want short term economic sugar hits without long term responsibility.

Indians did not create this mess. Indian migrants are responding to incentives deliberately engineered by Western governments. The responsibility sits with policymakers who opened the gates without limits, planning or honesty.

The real damage is not just economic. It is cultural and social. When immigration happens too fast, shared norms erode. When neighbourhoods change overnight, trust disappears. When people feel like strangers in their own country, resentment grows. Pretending this is not happening does not make it go away. It makes it worse.
Canada proves what happens when governments refuse to pull the brake. Temporary visas quietly become permanent. Student visas turn into backdoor residency. Entire industries become dependent on Indian labour, not because it is skilled, but because it is cheaper and more compliant.
New Zealand is walking the same path, eyes wide open, ears closed.
Criticising Indian mass immigration is not racism. It is a rejection of reckless scale, speed and denial. A country is not an Excel spreadsheet. It is a shared way of life. Once that is broken, no amount of GDP graphs will put it back together.

Canada is not an outlier. It is a warning. And unless New Zealand grows a spine and resets its immigration settings to something sane, sustainable and fair, we will soon be watching our own collapse play out on social media, just like they are now.
This is not hate. It is reality. And reality does not care how uncomfortable it makes politicians feel.

NZ Immigration and Education - same Minister. Partial reform - the real problems remain unresolved. Why?
To the Author of article, your "problem" has had legs for many years and of recent times the younger generation from India, bring money (from what ? source) and are now (or have been) buying into NZ Business that the NZ born Kiwi's no longer have an interest in owning/operating or being involved in.
There are also many of these business that do not employ NZ citizens, other than their own families.
You missed Switzerland, who has experienced a move from Countries such as Africa, these people has "assimilated" into the culture of that Country, to the point they speak The Language of the Canton they reside in, English is a second language, not first.
A real version of playing Sim City badly.
A country is not an Excel Spreadsheet.
Exactly but that's how the pollies view it.
They lose their sense of reason and are happy to dilute our culture .
It's almost traitorous .
Auckland suburbs are practically unrecognizable and are fast resembling Indian cities.
Tauranga is changing too. Increasingly I see growing numbers of Indian workers in workplaces such as my vehicle service centre, running supermarkets and cafes, and in construction and roofing too. They are keen to work and in the main do a good job. I’ve heard business owners say they would happily employ reliable kiwi workers, but they can’t find them. Are they perhaps hiding amongst the near 13% of NZers currently languishing on the “jobseeker” benefit? Or have we exported them to lands of greater equality and opportunity?
I live in a large retirement home, part of a nation-wide chain, and cannot help noticing that virtually all the staff are coloured and all the management white. Our house maids are mostly excellent but it is hard to communicate with ward staff (Rest Home, Special Care and Hospital) who are non-communicative, unhelpful and quick to leave you, often with no resolution to your problem. Mostly Indian, their fast way of speaking and heavy accent makes communication difficult. Is this the third wave of settlement following Polynesian, then British?
Why go to India, just go to Sandringham in Akl
Anon @ 443pm - "reliable Kiwi worker" is the ultimate triple oxymoron.
i suspect the "me no savvy" ploy is often used to minimise involvement and hence work.
