as long as they are judicious, it will be okay. don't let in anyone with a criminal record, only let people in who have skills and a job lined up, deport people who have been jobless for a certain amount of time, deport people when they break the law, and require green card holders be able to speak Japanese enough to be able to hold a conversation.
Japan is an island, so it has naturally secure borders. this can be done.
If we accept their false premise that the country will be destroyed without foreign labor, then temporary workers with no opportunity for future immigration would be fine. A little bit like what you said, but instead of "deport people who have been jobless for a certain amount of time" you automatically deport the foreigners after a certain amount of time, and bring new ones in if necessary.
This is sort of what the "trainee working visa" program was supposed to be for, except it's totally corrupt.
(Also need to make sure if a foreigner male gets a Japanese woman pregnant, the child is not given Japanese citizenship and must go home with the father. The woman can leave too. This is to prevent anchor babies.)
most of that sounds good except for the anchor babies policy. I do agree that they should not be like the United States, meaning a baby born to two foreigners while on Japanese soil should not receive Japanese citizenship.
However, I think it would be fine for children born to a single Japanese citizen to receive Japanese citizenship. In the cases of rape or one night stands gone wrong, this would provide stability for the child. In natural cases, this would allow couples who love each other to be together without having to worry about the feds separating them. There likely would be a slight bump in genetically half Japanese children, but they would be raised under the Japanese culture so I don't see any downside.

Culture doesn't change genes.
culture defines a person way more than genes ever will.
