- Also, as another NZer, a lot of NZ land is very hilly and remote, so unless you go to the really heavy-capital investment of terracing the hillsides it only makes economic sense to raise sheep.

Razib is uncharacteristically confused:

In the same post, Razib says we need to batten the hatches to allow us to fully absorb the immigrants we have now. Is there any evidence that we are not successfully doing this already? Is there any evidence that we could not be doing this quite successfully if we doubled or tripled the rate of immigration? We can absorb many many more high wage and more low wage workers, and we should.
What should we be looking at to see if Mexican immigrants are assimilating to middle-class norms as they did in the past? How about crime, welfare dependency and illegitimacy. Bad news: they get worse from first to second generation and even worse from second to third. Education? It plateaus by third generation well below the national average.
Pro-immigration people rarely present any data against this evidence, they merely assert (as you did) that everything is going just dandy now or call their opponents "mad, bad & dangerous to know" or something to that effect. If that's what "morality" causes in people, I much prefer emotivism/Stirnerism.
