Let's crack down on immigration. But also, let's increase immigration.

  1. Combine this with massive visa fee increases and efforts to make PR and naturalization harder to get.

    The anti-foreigner rhetoric is all just a smokescreen so the government has cover to make bank from visa fees while making sure none of these foreign workers get too uppity by denying them long term residency and rights.

    I’m pretty sure if Japan has its way, a Middle East-esque system of a vast migrant underclass serving the native “upper class” (in this case practically retirees) may be their ideal scenario by 2050.

  3. > we dont want 3rd world “illegals” they say.

    > continue developing the programs that exploit 3rd world immigrants.

    > with new visa fees and rules probably ensure these guys are in and out giving them even less reasons to try to assimilate with the locals

    > division will only grow

    Im sorry but this country is just a parody of itself at this stage

  5. I’d love to work in a konbini in the middle of nowhere. Is this sort of thing available to white Englishmen? Or just Africans and other third worlders?

  6. Indentured labour who will be kicked, beaten, overworked, injured, ripped off by Yakuza manpower bosses and sent back home once they’re too troublesome to keep on site. You can down vote me to hell but that’s how it will play out.

  8. At this rate, Sanseito will be guaranteed 20 more seats in the next election. LDP is providing them more amunition

  9. Yeah. Judging from the current exchange rate of yen and people need to learn Japanese to be eligible. I don’t think that gonna work.

  12. “Meh we hate immigrants, no more immigrants, fuck immigrants but also please keep coming here because we’re running out of people and the corrupt old men party in charge for almost all our post war history did nothing at all to fix anything.”

    “Please work in our factories but all you get in return is blame for ruining our country”

  13. 1.229M will be Indian, Viet and Filipino making <¥2.5m.

    I get people like to complain on Reddit but does it really change peoples lives that post on English Western Reddit.

  16. Making a mandatory minimum of thay being skilled labour sounds like really smart policy and will avoid a lot of problems other nations have developed by just letting anyone in.

  17. Great. Now make sure employers follow the law and get these new employees enrolled in national health and pension. Make sure both the company and employee are paying their share.

  20. I say let japan FAFO and reep the consequences of their inhumane imigration/labor practices, they are not even revelant anymore, this isn’t the 80s/90s, let there be net-zero migration, close japan to foreigners and let it collapse.

  23. Don’t do it Japan. There will be endless, successful lobbying by big business to keep them in the country and Japan will end up like western Europe.

    Stop this now before it’s too late.

  24. It is simple. rotate in workers every 3 to 5 years but don’t allow them to stay or start families.
