<prompt> Human: I grew up in NZ and came into this country as a refugee. Down the line 18 years later the NZ Immigration finds my parents gave false information when entering NZ and are deporting them 5th Jan 2016. My parents want to dispute the decision and it will cost them 30,000NZD, which they cannot afford. Im 24 and have been saving since i left school and have close to 30,000 which i want to buy a house in Auckland were i grew up. Now the market in Auckland is rising like crazy, i probly wont be able to afford a house here if i dont get one soon, and besides we most likely will lose the case anyway.So, do i tell my parents im not giving them money and let them get deported without a fight? or do i give them all the money i have and potentially see them get deported anyway? Ill have to start from nothing again if i give it to them, but then again if i give it to them i will never get it back regardless of the courts decision.Reddit please help, im tired of carrying there weight on my shoulders, this is not the first time they asked for money and wont be the last.UpdateEdit: Oh wow I never though strangers on Reddit would care so much, thank you all so much for your input I have read every single one and it means allot. Since people here cared allot more about my situation than i assumed I will give you a little more detail and attempt to answer some common questions.- Parents are from Iran, they will be returning to Tehran. - Background on our case: Me, Mum and brother entered NZ in 1997 as refugees and Sister and father followed along 1 year later. In 2006 mother and I went to Iran for a visit, upon arrival an immigration officer came to our house and issued us our deportation documents as we are no longer refugees. Since we got our residency under the status of a refugee, now that we are no longer refugees we are no longer residents. The legal battle has been ongoing since 2006, we reached the tribunal and tried to raise our case on humanitarian grounds, stating that deporting us is too harsh. However, the judge thought otherwise. - Although Me, brother, sister and now niece shes only 7 are not part of this and have our citizenship. - Next issue, mum and dad look after my niece, so if they were to be deported then leaves me having to move in with her to help her niece. my brother cannot do that at this point, dont ask why long story. - Also, i lied to you reddit : its 25K not 30K, Im sorry I didnt think you will actually care about my situation. Answering some common questions: - Can they come back ?Once they get deported it will be difficult to bring them back as they have health conditions. - Will i get the money back? In cash, NO. Maybe down the line they will support me in some other way, but i dont think i will see 25K cash from them, ever. - I live by myself in NZ, however I go home allot. Infact every morning i go home for breakfast as i live close, mum cooks the best eggs. - They dont need exactly how much i have, have 25K, the court costs are 30K. Also, i have recently decided to go back to uni and will be broke for the next several years, so the option of just saving it again will not happen for many, many years. But then again, if they do get deported I will end up having to drop-out of uni to ensure my sister can finish her degree.  <response>: Wow... what a difficult decision.Obviously the smartest thing to do is to not give them the money.But there is a whole moral aspect to this that is uh... extremely difficult.Do they have a chance to come back to NZ if they are deported? Do they have a chance at a happy life should they be deported? Will you be able to help them out more in the long-run if you dont give them the money to fight this losing court battle?
