44001 (2025). Ricardo Menéndez March to the Minister of Immigration: How many, if any, of the estimated 20,979 overstayers in New Zealand were born in New Zealand after 2006?

Hon Erica Stanford: I am advised that as the estimated 20,979 overstayers are counted from border arrival information. It is unlikely that any were born in New Zealand.
