The dawn raids was a time when the police would go to pacifica people’s homes and start the process of evicting people from NZ that were on temporary working visas.
The problem:
After world war 2 there was a job crisis which made the new zealand government hire overseas workers to come in and work for the country.But when there visas ran out the government let them stay in the country and live their lives with there working visa ran out. And the economy started to go up again till about 1974 where the economy was rapidly falling. So the Government started coming round the houses kicking the pasifika people out of the country and sending them back to their country because of their skin colour. How is that fair the government gets people to come into the country and work then kicks them out 20 years later even if they have a family. And if kicking them out of the country wasn’t bad enough, the police came really early in the morning with dogs to wake them up and escort them out of the country.
