Can’t speak for NZ. In Australia because we have healthcare and other benefits, the fear is that permitting non-working immigrants to become citizens will mean they are a net burden on the economy.
Can’t let everyone in. Got to draw the line somewhere. It sucks for those that don’t pass the bar but if I were gatekeeping immigration I’d choose the subset most likely to make the country better; net contributors.
Let me just say I’m not sure what our official policy is. I am just providing an opinion.
I guess autism would be a red flag to an immigration official. If someone was autistic and contributing to the nation I personally wouldn’t have an issue. You can come hang.
How much money someone might potentially make is a fucking gross way to view human beings, and it being normalized under capitalism doesn’t make it any better. It might actually make it worse, because there’s people like you who somehow buy into it.

Thanks for the honesty. That is hopelessly cruel, some of our highest value industries are powered by autistic people’s labor.
Don’t disagree.

If you were gatekeeper, how would you discriminate?
To clarify when I say contributing that’s more just dollars. It could be anything that lifts us up.
