japan

 

By WAYNE NASH

I keep hearing about all the immigration problems in Europe, Australia, North America and wonder why they don’t just do it like the Japanese do.

JAPAN FOR THE JAPANESE (of course)

The great thing about living in Japan is that mostly Japanese live here.

That means if you want to experience Japanese culture and Japanese reality you can visit Japan.

Yes, it is relatively ‘mono-cultural’ here, and I believe this may be one of the reasons Japan still has a very low crime rate even in the big cities where it feels safe to walk alone at night.

If Japan were all mixed up like Brazil, then visiting Japan would be like visiting Brazil, which is fine if you like the carnivals and the murder rate.

But, it would no longer be Japan.

If Europeans were to overrun Japan, like they did in Shanghai during colonial period, it would no longer be Japan.

If Muslims could freely immigrate here then Sharia Law would be coming and Japan would no longer be Japan.

The Japanese, however, are not opting for the ‘multi-cultural’ option, though they like to have their token ‘half-Japanese’ announcers and ‘gaijin’ on TV to give you the feel of a multi-cultural world. But, on the street, almost everyone you see and meet is JAPANESE.

The fact is that MONO-Cultures for nations and communities may be the key to ensuring there is a MULTI-Cultural WORLD in the future. This is a preferred future unless a world of one monotone ‘consumer robot race’ is part of your ideal world.

MUSLIM IMMIGRATION UNDER CONTROL

Japan’s Muslim population consists mainly of Indonesians and other small expatriate communities, which represent less than 0.08% of the total population, while the estimated Japanese Muslims consist of less than 0.008% of the total population.

Radical Islam is almost non-existent and anyone professing radical ideologies likely would not see their visas renewed and might even be deported before their visa expires.

So, under present policy, Sharia Law is a long time coming for Japan.

Anyone representing even remotely radical Islamic ideological leanings simply will not be accepted into Japanese society and will eventually lose their visa status and be asked to leave.

Fighting off the scourge of Hollywood influence has been another matter, however.

Thankfully, more and more Japanese seem to be more interested in Japanese movies and entertainment these days which I think is a good trend and also helping to maintain the integrity of Japanese traditions and thinking even while modernizing them.

Disney movies however still enjoy some popularity in a country that holds the ‘child mind’ in high regard!

NO EASY WAY IN

The reason there is no serious ‘immigration issue’ in Japan is because they CONTROL THE PACE of immigration and the QUALITY of the people immigrating, or even just temporarily working in Japan.

That is to say, Japan has a very strict immigration policy with a clear intention is to keep Japan essentially Japanese, and for the Japanese, (who happen to like their culture) while modernizing and being open to the world and other cultures.

It is much easier for the Japanese to respect other cultures when they are no threat to their own. This is something the globalists do not seem to get with their ‘melting pot’ ideologies that are intending to turn everyone into robotic cyborg consumers with NO CULTURE at all, except the culture of SHOPPING.

As a foreign resident I think this is brilliant and immediately solves most of the problems facing other countries.

Why Europe does not get this is beyond me. Pace and quality of immigration are extremely important IF you have the wish to maintain your cultural integrity. However, there is evidence that some people POSING AS Europeans in Europe have an agenda to destroy European culture and openly say it.

Even though it makes my life difficult from a foreign resident’s point of view, it is assuring for me to know that Japan, for years to come, will largely remain the peaceful Japan I have enjoyed for 31 years.

It is reassuring to know that Japan, presently, puts the Japanese culture and people first, as they should. This is much preferable to becoming just another globalist MacDonald’s franchise and Hollywood infected cesspool of licentiousness and moral decay.

It is assuring to know that Sharia Law will likely never gain traction here, at least not in my life time.

It is also assuring to know that Japan, and the Japanese culture and traditions, as we know them, have a better than average chance of survival into the future and also may continue to serve as an example on many levels from how to build a society where crime remains low.

Japanese have a lot to teach the world about how to live life WITHOUT resorting only to ‘Democracy’ (a divisive socially destructive system).

THE OCEAN WALL

Japan does not need a Great Wall to keep people out. It has the ocean.

So, it enjoys some natural advantages in that regard.

For those that do creep into this country illegally they are normally caught and deported.

There is no ‘welfare system’ for illegal or legal immigrants.

If you are here illegally you have to leave…PERIOD.

Certainly, there is no free housing, free medical, free women (as the smugglers in Europe are offering), and a nice income to send back home (often to radicalized relatives).

If you are here LEGALLY, there is no welfare here for you either.

If you want to stay here, expect to work for your living, or be expelled.

For those that want to stay a long time you have some high fences to climb to be able to take up permanent residence in Japan and only the very committed can manage it.

In my case, I have lived in Japan now for 31 years, am married to a Japanese national, and still do not have permanent residency status.

I have returned to Canada a few times which, in the eyes of the immigration authorities, reflects a little lack of commitment to Japan. It is a minus point and the years you are here count from the last time you hit the shores. The previous 20 years before going back home for a year or two don’t count. You start from your new date of arrival.

If my wife were to pass away, I would have to leave the country or find a sponsor, normally an EMPLOYER, and try to get a working visa. My spouse visa would no longer apply. It is a rather unstable situation for a foreigner but serves the Japanese well and only the very committed end up being here for a long time.

Even with permanent residence, there is no way I could just sit back and collect government benefits either.

Unemployment insurance is VERY limited and hard to maintain. Very few foreigners ever apply. Welfare is available ONLY temporarily even for the Japanese. Foreigners who cannot sustain themselves via employment or self-employment are expected to leave.

Those without a SPONSOR are also expected to leave.

People on temporary visas in Japan need to have a SPONSOR and need to have INCOME. Without these you are OUT. So, it should be.

That means that NORMALLY a NATIVE JAPANESE must want you to be here whether to employ you, teach you (students), or marry you. If a JAPANESE national is not going to sponsor you there is no chance of staying.

Self-Sponsorship is possible but is not easy and you must have work contracts and be able to prove they are stable. Normally, you would be able to get a one year visa and keep proving your capacity to support yourself. It would be at the discretion of the immigration office to grant you a work visa or not.

PERMANENT RESIDENCY NEARLY IMPOSSIBLE UNLESS HERE OVER 10 YEARS

A permanent resident is a big deal. It means you now can access some of the LIMITED ‘welfare state’ benefits, and I mean LIMITED.

Once you are a permanent resident it means you don’t need a sponsor anymore nor do you need to apply for a visa every year or few years and do not need to prove your capacity to support yourself. It frees you up some but then you also become subject to being treated more like a Japanese national, which has good points and bad points. You are no longer a ‘guest’ and being a ‘guest’ has its perks. You tend to be treated quite well…as a guest…and are not expected to carry the same responsibilities as Japanese resident or national.

However, to get permanent resident status you do need a guarantor.

To provide a personal reference from a guarantor may be one of the hardest tasks for you to arrange.

Your guarantor must be a Japanese national or a permanent resident in Japan; your guarantor’s occupation certificate, income certificate, and a certificate of residence will be required as well as the guarantee document.

But, it is a very difficult permanent resident status, and so it should be.

In fact, you need to have lived in Japan for at least 10 years and normally have a 5 year visa before you can even apply for permanent residency.

The last time I tried to get 5 years I was given a 3 year visa.

The reason they gave for not giving me a 5 year visa was lack of ‘required income’ which just means I am not paying enough in taxes. My income is actually above average for where I live. But, I have lots of ‘write offs’ which bring my taxable income down.

So, if you want permanent resident status, you want to show a reasonable high income. That will make it easier along with being here for 10 years.

If you stay outside Japan for more than 1 year without a Re-entry Permit, your Permanent Resident status becomes void.

If you commit any crime, including tax offences, you will be a subject to Forcible Deportation. Then you can no longer stay in Japan. Please note that a Permanent Resident status may become void in these circumstances.

So, COMMITMENT is required if you want to stay here for a long time.

It is easy to lose your permanent residency if you engage in crime or terrorism as well. So, there are no guarantees Japan will allow you to live here, especially if you are hostile to the locals (as they are in Europe) and openly profess to hate the locals (as they do in Europe).

There is no possible way that foreigners would be raping women on New Year’s Eve as they did in Cologne recently and not be kicked on their butt.

The Europeans are CLEARLY far too soft on immigrants out of some misplaced guilt trip placed upon them by Hollywood propaganda and the media which keeps on them as ‘racist’ should they ever try what the Japanese are doing, i.e. protecting their people and their own culture and communities.

The Japanese look at the Europeans in awe and wonder ‘How stupid can they be? Don’t they love their own people?’

COMMITMENT

Yes, the Japanese expect you to show commitment, abide by the law, drive carefully, and all of that.

In fact, if you choose to throw away your passport and get a Japanese one you are more likely to be accepted than when applying for permanent residency status and keeping your old passport. Why? Because throwing away your passport implies commitment to becoming a contributing member of Japanese society, even though you will ALWAYS be viewed as a foreigner, even with a Japanese passport.

You must be of a nature to abide by the Japanese Peace Constitution. Any person who is even slightly likely to become a terrorist will not be accepted.　

In short, it means you are ready to commit to bettering life in Japan and are willing to give up your old nationality to join in the fun.

A JAPANESE PASSPORT DOES NOT MAKE YOU ‘JAPANESE’

Japanese are very clear about their identity. Just having a Japanese passport will never make you a ‘Japanese’ person in the eyes of the Japanese, only in the eyes of the law.

Japan, even though it is a corporation trading on the stock market, the Japanese see JAPAN as their nation. No matter how long a blue eyed Canadian holds a Japanese passport, he or she will never be Japanese, and to pretend anything different is truly foolish.

Getting a passport just means you become collateral for Japan Inc. the publicly traded Corporation, nothing more.

It does not magically turn me into a Japanese person, any more than a Nigerian suddenly can become a ‘Brit’ with a UK passport.

Failing to realize this is what is causing huge tensions in Europe especially when incompatible cultures are in the mix.

It is truly nonsense to believe there are no tribal associations in this world. In Japan they are very aware of their ‘tribe’ and their identity.

But, this does not make them ‘racist’. It makes them ‘tribal conscious’.

That is they recognize they have a common history, common rules, common culture, common icons, a common language, common stories, common genetic makeup, even if we all came from the same ‘mother’ in Africa!

DO IT THE JAPANESE WAY

I believe that if other countries respected their own people and culture as the Japanese do and adopted similar immigration policies, much of the ‘immigration crises’ we see around the world would be remedied very quickly.

What if every one of the ONE MILLION migrants flowing into Germany needed a native born GERMAN to sponsor them, vouch for them, and take responsibility for their well-being?

What if there were no welfare benefits?

What if, instead, Europeans volunteered to help these people where they live, like the Japanese do?

MATH DOES NOT LIE

One thing for sure, it is, and will continue to be, impossible for wealthy countries to accept millions of immigrants from poorer countries without destroying their own communities and prosperity in the process.

The best way forward is to lift everyone up and help them create a sustainable and prosperous life in HAPPY communities as happiness is not just about GNP but is about the quality of life people can enjoy where they live.

Bombing the hell out of countries does not improve their quality of life in any way, shape, or form as ‘liberated’ Iraqis, Libyans, and many more have found out…the hard way.

When we start diverting BOMB money into EDUCATION and LOGISTICAL support for damaged and limited communities to build sustainable communities where they ARE, and WANT TO BE (if they could survive there), ‘immigration crises’ will slowly fade away.
