Chris Luxon is firing back at Winston Peters over his latest comments about immigration.

The New Zealand First Leader has been accusing his Coalition partners National and Act of being too slow on immigration.

The Prime Minister and National Leader says he feels like there's a bit of anti-immigration cos-playing going on, whereby some politicians pretend to be Donald Trump, Nigel Farage or Marine Le Pen.

He told Mike Hosking that the remarks by Peters are an example of that.

Luxon says New Zealand doesn't have uncontrolled immigration, while the US has 13 to 14 million illegal immigrants.
