Migrant groups are welcoming a Green Party proposal to offer an amnesty for overstayers and residence for temporary workers.
The party says the infamous 1970s Dawn Raids - an immigration crackdown on Pacific Island overstayers - is why the government must create a pathway to residence for people without visas, an estimated 14,000 people.
The Greens Pacific people spokesperson Teanau Tuiono has called for the government to apologise. The Dawn Raids are a shameful stain on New Zealand history, defined by racial tension and unrest as police and immigration authorities victimised Pacific Islanders they suspected of abusing the terms of their visas, he said.
