I would rather take Malays, Chinese, Bangladeshi's rather than Africans. The Africans would end up slaughtering them.
I would rather just have my society contract than absolutely destroy it with unfettered immigration of r*tards. Would just annihilate every cultural norm.
When I was an exchange student, an African man worked at the nearby 7-11 and his whole family from Africa lived in the neighborhood. He was friendly and sometimes I saw his family out having dinner together at a nearby Denny's. I hope they're doing well.
It destroys the country when you let it contract. Without immigrants, grandparents here would be dying in the millions. People wouldn't get their pensions. Couldn't retire. Nobody to teach the kids and no money to fund the schools. If your population doesn't increase to pay taxes, you just fall apart.
I believe that's the point of industrialization and automation.
Too late. It's happening now. People already can't retire here, can't get their healthcare needs met when elderly, massive labor shortages everywhere, institutions going bankrupt. It's the number one issue constantly in the news cycle. Robots can't do this and wont be able to for the forseeable future. They don't pay taxes.
Japan is the poster boy for this issue, but it's true in all places with more closed border policies. Korea and China too.
So the solution is to pad your numbers by importing a slave class? Sounds like a scam to me dude.
They should be well-payed workers, not slaves. But yes that is the only option. Your solution is literally science fiction.
The Danes have run the numbers and your solution doesn't work -- these people are more a drain on the welfare system than a boon.
Oh okay so we'll just invent tax paying robots that do everything by the end of the year. My philosophical approach to real world issues is very serious and worth considering. :)

As an expat, out of common courtesy you should abstain from all discussions regarding decisions in the country you're a guest of.
MAID/contract the welfare state; no reason to destroy your culture.
I pay more taxes here than citizens. This is my home just as much as their's. Could not care less about citizenship papers or anyone's nationalism.
I could become a citizen in a couple years though. Won't do it because renouncing US citizenship is too expensive and not enough benefits.
Yeah but when someone says "The Japanese" they aren't going to ever think of your pasty ass.
Immigrants here will change Japan and will be changed by Japan. It's a good thing. Caring about keeping a culture the same is dumb. At odds with reality.

Saying stuff like this definitely makes you NOT Japanese.

I don't care about being Japanese or American or anything else. I just want to live where I want to live and do what I want to do there.

Why do you want to live in Japan
