Interview with Samoan overstayer

During the 1990s people were streaming into New Zealand, particularly from Asia, Africa and the Middle East. There was not a huge increase of Pacific Islanders during this decade, and in fact a few Pacific Islanders were deported for overstaying their temporary residence permits. This Samoan woman talks about her pending deportation as an overstayer, and her fears for her three New Zealand-born children.
