Japan is now gonna welcome hundreds of thousands of immigrants to move into their country:


Japan opens door wider to foreign blue-collar workers despite criticism

TOKYO (Reuters) - Japan, in a major policy shift, enacted on Saturday a law to let in more foreign, blue-collar workers to ease a labor shortage, despite criticism it was too hastily crafted and risked exposing the workers to exploitation.

Immigration has long been taboo in a country where many prize ethnic homogeneity, but the shrinking, aging population has increased pressure to relax strict controls on foreign workers.

The legislation, which was approved by parliament’s upper house in the early hours after delaying tactics by opposition parties, will take effect from April. It creates two new categories of visas for blue-collar workers in sectors facing a labor crunch.

One category is for workers who can stay for up to five years but cannot bring family members. The other is for more skilled foreigners who can bring relatives and might eventually be eligible for residency.

Details including how many foreign workers will be let in, what sectors are covered and what skills are needed are not spelled out in the law, one reason opposition lawmakers say more time should have been spent drafting the legislation.

The government has said that up to 345,150 blue-collar workers will be allowed in over five years. Initially, a figure of 500,000 was considered.

Prime Minister Shinzo Abe is eager to respond to demands from businesses facing the tightest labor market in four decades.

But he is also wary of angering conservatives in his party who fear more foreigners would mean a rise in crime and cultural clashes.

Well, I guess as long as they import Swedes or Americans they should be relative safe, right? I could actually consider to move to Japan to live and work there.

Asian women crave for big black dick. Now they will get as many African immigrants as they want to have.

Japan has a population density of 339 people per square mile and Nigeria has 151 people per square mile, it seems that there needs to be more japanese moving to Nigeria, to make room in Japan...

And the more people on this planet, the more pollution. To make humankind more sustainable shouldn't we have less people?
