RICARDO MENÉNDEZ MARCH (Green): Tēnā koe, Mr Speaker. I rise to take a call on the second reading of the Immigration (COVID-19 Response) Amendment Bill. I want to begin by acknowledging that our migrant communities are flourishing, and our Government should act to ensure that they're able to fully participate in society. History has shown us that during times of economic downturns, or when we face uncertainty, our migrant communities have been one of the groups that have been often scapegoated. We are still seeing the legacy of the dawn raids, where people from our Pacific communities thought to have overstayed their visas were targeted and deported, and that legacy still lives with us today in our broken immigration settings. It also lives in the current scapegoating of our migrant communities for having caused the housing crisis, and inequality in general.
