    Illegal immigration? How are immigrants coming to NZ illegally? What a weird thing to ask.

    That’s an example of a priming question. Like asking “do you think criminals should be prosecuted”. It primes your response for the next question. It persuades the person to think there is a rampant and problematic flood of illegal immigration into the country.

        There are records of them entering so I presume it’s trivial to identify them and deal with them.

        But is this somehow a problem? Are they taking our jobs or violating our women or something?
