This question about "illegal immigrants and overstayers" is biased and unfair. People who fear for their lives or who face persecution in their own countries are refugees, not illegal immigrants. New Zealand is a signatory to the UN Convention on Refugees and has legal obligations to treat people who claim refugee status (which they have to prove)according to this Convention.
