Multiple stories have emerged in recent weeks about migrants, brought here under the Accredited Employer Work Visa, ending up crammed in their dozens inside unsanitary houses, with many now facing eviction with nowhere to go.

Today on The Front Page, Damien is joined by NZ Herald journalist Lincoln Tan who offers insight on an immigration controversy that is only set to get worse.
