Last year, an official from the SAR government publicly stated that Hong Kong's local population was growing by less than 10,000 per year, while over 50,000 people were coming in from China, and that he believed that these immigrants would destroy the quality of life Hong Kongers enjoyed and lean on the government for housing and social welfare assistance, essentially filching funds from the hard-working people of Hong Kong.
去年特區政府一位官員就公開表示，香港每年的自然人口淨增長不過一萬餘人，但內地新移民數目卻多達 5 萬人。「這些人來香港不但會破壞香港生活品質，房屋和綜援金都要倚靠政府，簡直是來吃大鍋飯的！」
