The dawn raids!

Hi, and today I will be sharing with you my social studies slam about the dawn raides. So firstly way back in the 1950s New Zealand did not have enough workers in places like ackland as people had gone to war and died so they had to find people to replace them. But their was not enough people to fill up all the work so they invited people from the pacific island and samoa to come over a work for them and they would stay in nz on a working visa. But as the years past more and more people moved to nz and started working so then they did not need those people from the pacific island and samoa anymore so late at night police would go into their house and drag them out of bed dubbed them on the street, put them in jail then put them on a plane and send them back to where they came from. But the funny thing was that they were only doing this to the pacific islands and  the samoans so the pacific island were targeted. It was racist. Can you just imagine that you have lived somewhere for about 20 years then one night you just get sent back to your own country you have to leave your family that you have been with and everything just because people came into nz and took your job, But instead of the government helping them they thought it would be easier to sent them back to there home country. You may think that this doesn't sound like anything nz would do but just think would you want to be sent back to your home country and sent away from your family and kids. So I think it was very bad to send back. The pacific islands people that didn’t get taken they were not happy about this so they fought back they punch and they kicked and they fought but they did not get very far with that. So yeah very bad thing that nz did. Someone called Tigi Ness  also protested as he thought that this was unfair they went alone to the government's houses and knock on there door’s and protested but after awhile he got put in jail and that did not go well. So in my opinion dawn radies was very bad.
