"Pacific Islanders are increasingly over-represented in juvenile justice system"

No, they're increasingly overrepresented in criminal acts.

But let's bring more of them in anyway.

In their homeland these & the Melanesians, are some of the nicest people you would ever meet anywhere, but here such a large percentage are indolent trouble makers.

Yep lets send these undesirables back to where they came from, & will probably fit in. Their nature is more suited to a culture where if you don't work you don't eat.

Them lets plug that loophole that allows other nationalities to come into OZ from New Zealand on the sly.

...IMO: On the whole, I've found Islanders to be a "joy to be with". Unfortunately, along with Aboriginals, tend to be tribal in mentality, which tends to see them stand together, right or wrong!

Hasbeen, what you say might seem to many to be a bit harsh, but in this case I would tend to agree with you. If they can't fit in here, send the buggers back to the islands from whence they came.
