从2014年至2020年,这些被遣返的人当中至少有一半人在新西兰犯罪肆虐,他们共犯下了约9,000宗案子,包括入室行窃、殴打他人和性侵儿童。澳洲《每日邮报》甚至用“在新西兰引发巨大犯罪浪潮” (cause huge crime wave back in New Zealand)来形容这些被遣返回来的人给新西兰社会治安带来的破坏。
WELLINGTON, NEW ZEALAND - MAY 05: Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern speaks to media during a press conference at Parliament on May 05, 2020 in Wellington, New Zealand. No new COVID-19 cases or related deaths have been recorded in New Zealand for the second day in a row since lockdown measures were introduced in response to the coronavirus pandemic. New Zealand's lockdown measures eased slightly on April 28 as the country moved to COVID-19 Alert Level 3. New Zealanders must still remain home unless going to work, school, picking up essential supplies or exercising, but under Level 3, recreational activities such as swimming, surfing, fishing and hunting are allowed provided social distancing is maintained. Restaurants, cafes and other food businesses may now offer takeaway or delivery services only. Schools are open for children up to Year 10 who cannot study from home, or whose parents need to return to work. Mass gatherings remain banned, and only at Level 2 will indoor events of 100 people or outdoor events of 500 people be permitted. However, under Alert Level 3 an exception has been made for funerals and weddings, with no more than 10 attendees now permitted provided there is no reception event or food served. New Zealand has been in full lockdown since March 26. (Photo by Hagen Hopkins/Getty Images)
