Inquiries from Americans wanting to move to New Zealand have "exploded" since George W Bush was re-elected president.
The Immigration Service's website had 10,300 hits from the United States the day after the election. Usually it gets 2500 hits a day.
And the phones of its US marketing directors in Los Angeles, San Francisco and Portland, Oregon, have been ringing nonstop since the election.
Marketing director Don Badman said there had been up to 300 telephone calls and emails a day.
"We've been doing this for 11 months and it's been building up to about six to eight calls a day, but from Thursday it's exploded. It really started picking up from 11pm the night of the election."
The San Francisco Chronicle reported that many Americans were inquiring about moving to New Zealand, Australia and Canada as a result of the election. (...)

Unfortunately, the "exodus," or talk of exodus, will die down as we get further from the election. Although I'd hate to shove them into your country. How about Canada?
Don't cry for me Argentina...I mean New Zealand...
Pity the poor kiwis.
These fools are too lazy to leave. They will continue to suckle on the teet of Americas bloated free give away programs.
Yes liberals and 'progressives', please go, Go, GO!
I certainly hope it's begun---they can't leave soon enough for me!
NZ is a beautiful place..hopefully the gov't there is smart enough to keep these idiots out of there.
Hopefully they all go to France or Canada, they'll fit in nicely there. Or otherwise, Cuba or China would work perfectly for them.
Why don't they go to Mandela's Paradise?
Attention Kiwis:
Don't let them in. They will destroy your country and your culture. Let them go to France, Belgium, or Sweden. You already have plenty of Socialists to deal with. Do not add to the problem.
There are lots of places our liberals would feel more at home, e.g. Cuba, Afghanistan, China, North Korea. New Zealand doesn't seem like it would be on the list.
Convince progressives to join the Green Party – Divide and conquer.
and STAY OUT
Obviously they have forgotten (or perhaps never knew) that Prime Minister John Howard (conservative) just won a decisive victory in Australia.
Yeesh, Canada has enough liberals...can't they all just move to China? I think China has a mass labour shortage.
Or how 'bout we just throw all the liberals in a giant vat, process them, and feed the poor with a new brand of food product: Soylent Liberal...now with 50% more hippie chicks!
No, wait, now I got it: instead of having to waste clay pigeons...
I could go on forever with this. Too many spare liberals, never enough ammunition.
We could only be so lucky.
This is great!!! US gets the brightest and most hardworking immigrants coming into the country and yellow belly losers leave!!! We'll have the best gene pool in the world!!!! This just keeps getting better!
I will warn my brother who lives in Napier NZ. I understand it is a beautiful country, but the living ain't easy - if they want to be pilgrims or pioneers in the best tradition, this might be the place. Unfortunately, socialists usually expect others to do the hard lifting for liberty and they just move in.
