Japan's TV has exploded with discussions on illegal aliens, foreigners and refugees this past year.
The Japanese immigration control law is currently in process of revision so that foreigners applying for refugee status CAN be deported, and that foreigners must pass refugee status twice to be accepted as a refugee and will be deported if they fail to do so.
The interesting part about why the law is in revision is because of Kurds. Japan for the most part does not recognize the Kurds as refugees. The only city that does is the city of Kawaguchi, and outside the city, they are illegal aliens. In Japan, the people who identify as Kurdish are recorded as Turks with Turkish citizenship, thus not a refugee.
Japan does not have a big Kurdish population, but they tend to be on news disproportionately for illegal activity such as murder, attempted murder, rape, sexual assault, reckless driving, street fights and clashing with police while reported as "done by Turks." In the past, similar incidents happened with Iranians and Japan answered with revising visa standards for Iranian "tourists." (i.e. illegal aliens living in Japan for years) As for Kurds, they shout they deserve human rights while infringing on other peoples' rights while on official record count as crime done by Turks.
Japan has had enough, the mayor of Kawaguchi has had enough, the chairman of the Liberal Democratic Party has had enough, and legal Turks who didn't cause no trouble has had enough. Japan is changing immigration law with support of voters, mayor of Kawaguchi is directly telling the Ministry of Justice to deport criminal foreigners, and the chairman of the majority party is directly talking to the Turkish ambassador that Japan might have to take away Turkish visa exceptions just like what happened with Iranians. Turks living in Japan who doesn't even support Erdogan are telling Kurdish criminals to leave the country and go back to Turkey, knowing Erdogan acts with an iron fist against Kurdish guerillas and terrorists.
Ideals and compassion sounds nice, but that cannot come from the suffering of citizens. Japan has a much bigger foreign population of Chinese, Korean, Vietnamese, Filipino and other SEA nations that abide by the law. It doesn't matter who you are, if you cause trouble, Japan will answer firmly in interest with law abiding citizens, as any nation should.
foreigners are a problem regardless if they abide by the law or not , there will always be a conflict in loyalties There was a uyghur that got a position of political power in Japan and i saw some Japanese comments who werent happy about that, and they rightfully pointed out that "foreigners will never forget their ancestral homeland. "
Even if foreigners "prove themselves to fit in" what about their children? or their grandchildren? there's plenty of foreigners that were ok in the first generation but by the 2nd generation or 3rd generation their children and grandchildren start causing trouble cause they rightfully know they dont belong.
Strong monoculture + low % of foreigners = preservation of culture
If immigration is kept low, children and grandchildren will eventually be diluted and absorbed into the monoculture.
We actually have several historical examples of this working well, ironically with the opposite case: large foreign ethnic populations that have displaced native minorities. Americans successfully dissolved and absorbed the native culture, Japanese successfully absorbed and supplanted the Ainu culture.
To answer the natural objection, "but what about the Native Americans that still hate white people on their reservations," anyone can clearly see the native culture, while extant to this day, is waning even faster than the decadent white culture, and at no point during America's history did it ever pose an existential threat. The fact that you can claim native status with as little as 1/16th blood shows you how absorption into the majority works.
Immigration shouldnt be "kept low" immigration should be kept non existent. the only time it was possible to absorb the minority in to the majority was when the immigration was non existent and the culture is highly nationalist with absolutely zero globalist elements at all .
The gypsies and the jews were minorities in Europe for thousands of years and look what happened. They didn't assimilate at all.
