Where are they coming from and are these the kind of visas they usually have where they can be revoked easily?
That's if we can't revoke it immediately as I'd rather ship them Canadian/Australian/US truckers for logistics than it be used as an excuse to ship them third worlders.
This seems like another sector that COULD be autonomised with self driving trucks and taxis but that's only one section of the problem. Birth rate can be solved by dealing with black company work conditions and removing all parts of the law that are feminist in nature.
The answer to this is largely irrelevant. Policies like this are a foot in the door and will inevitably lead to more permissible immigration on a larger scale. It happened in the US in the 70s and soon after in Europe.
People often believe that there is some inherent flaw in our systems that allowed this to happen, but the reality is that it started out very slowly and carefully, because our societies were a lot more "based" back then.
Japan's only chance is a zero tolerance policy and a push for a homogeneous society that depends on automation for menial work.
