In today's our class, we discuss about immigration into Japan and bias against foreigners in Japan.
Our teacher said that Japan have to accept immigrants as a work force because of lack of Japanese work force.
I agree with that, but Japanese government should act carefully.
I found Canadian government web site and there was statistic which was published by United Nations Office an Drugs and Crime.
That statistic show that Japan's homicides rate is lowest one within 17 countries include U.S. and U.K.
I don't want immigrants to make Japan unsafe and uncomfortable place for citizens of Japan as U.S. and Canada.
In the Canada case, a lot of Chinese came to Canada because Canadian immigration policy was tolerant.
As a result, many China town was built and such place looks like slam for Canadian people.
When I studied in Canada, I saw the situation many times that people who speak Chinese yell at shop clark and bought up one item without any consideration for others.
Japan mainly needs cheaper work force than Japanese higher educated work force.
It means a lot of immigrants who were not higher educated, who can't speak Japanese at all, and in worst case, who don't even try to gain a deeper understanding for Japan.
Japan needs immigrants, but it's totally wrong to make Japan playground for foreigners which they can do whatever they want to do selfishly.
In my opinion, I can't accept immigrants into Japan with full of happiness.
If you look at crime rates of foreigners in Japan versus Japanese in Japan on a per capita basis he Japanese committ more crimes. So the trick is to get in foreigners that are low crime risks like the ones you have now.
返信削除I guess that Japan wants to get cheaper work force than Japanese for factory or construction industry.
返信削除I also think that cheaper work force mainly consist of non-higher educated people.
So, if the immigrants who are looking for job in Japan rush for Japan, not a few non-higher educated people will come. Then, as Canada's case show, they tend to build their own community in host country. It is too late to start thinking how the crime made by immigrants against their own people can be restrained after rising crime rate. It might be rude, but I don't want immigrant to make Japan uncomfortable for Japanese.
