Former immigration minister Tuariki Delamere said Hamilton City Councillor James Casson's position with Immigration New Zealand (INZ) is untenable in the wake of his comments. "If he's referred to refugees as scum, then he should be dismissed from Immigration New Zealand immediately," Delamere said. DILEEPA FONSEKA/STUFF Tuariki Delamere, immigration adviser and former Minister of Immigration, says JAmes Casson should be dismissed. And while its an employment matter, Immigration Minister Iain Lees-Galloway needs to act by refusing to meet with head of Immigration NZ Greg Patchell, he said. Immigration Minister Iain Lees-Galloway said as it is an employment matter, it would be inappropriate to comment.
