Japan Pays Foreign Workers to Go Home, Forever
by Jeff Davis

The big liberal excuse for keeping millions of illegal aliens in this country is that “we need them.” Actually, no, we don’t –especially not during a Depression. Other nations besides the United States have finally woken up to the fact that the social and economic devastation that illegals wreak on a society isn’t worth any short-term economic advantage, and unlike the United States, they’re actually doing something about it.
The New York Times moans: “Rita Yamaoka, a recently jobless mother of three, faces a heart-wrenching decision. The Japanese government has offered to pay thousands of dollars to fly her family home to Brazil. But if she takes the money, Mrs. Yamaoka and her husband, Sergio — a Brazilian national of Japanese descent — must agree not to seek work in Japan again.”
There it is, folks. The solution to illegal immigration. Not amnesty. Not a “path to citizenship.” Simply THROW THEIR BUTTS OUT.
The New York Times goes on “The repatriation offer is part of a new drive to encourage Japan’s sizable pool of Latin American factory workers to leave the recession-wracked country. At least 100 Latin American workers have agreed to leave Japan on the understanding they will not return, according to Japanese officials… In 1990, Japan — facing a growing industrial labor shortage — started issuing thousands of special work visas to descendants of these emigrants. An estimated 366,000 Brazilians and Peruvians now live in Japan. The guest workers quickly became the largest group of foreign blue-collar workers in an otherwise immigration-adverse country, filling the so-called three-K jobs (kitsui, kitanai, kiken — or hard, dirty and dangerous. But the nation’s manufacturing sector has slumped as demand for Japanese goods evaporates worldwide, prompting job cuts and pushing the jobless rate to a three-year high of 4.4 percent. Japan’s exports plunged 46 percent in March from a year earlier, and industrial production is at its lowest level in 25 years. So Japan has been keen to help foreign workers go home, thus easing pressure on domestic labor markets and getting thousands off unemployment rolls.”
Now why in the name of all common sense is our own government unable to wrap their minds around so simple a solution? The Japanese let in foreign workers when there were more jobs than people, and now they’re telling these surplus workers to leave, now that times are bad. Many of these immigrant laborers are of Japanese ancestry, who moved to Peru and Brazil, but even these “foreigners” who aren’t really foreign are being told to go back to their nations of birth. Needless to say, any Korean or Filipino laborers in Japan must be getting the “bum’s rush” out of Japan about now.
The article continues “Under the emergency program, introduced this month, the country’s Brazilian and other Latin American guest workers are offered $3,000 toward air fare, plus $2,000 for each dependent — attractive lump sums for many immigrants here. Workers who leave have been told they can pocket any change. But those who travel home on Japan’s dime will not be allowed to reapply for a special “Nikkei” work visa. Stripped of that status, most Japanese-Brazilian workers who left would find it all but impossible to return to work here under Japan’s strict immigration laws.”
And yet over here, we’re hearing rumblings about an Amnesty bill from Obama even though we don’t have jobs for our own American citizens. An Amnesty is nothing less than treason and a kick in the teeth for unemployed Americans, who don’t need 20 million more Mexicans granted citizenship so they can crowd into the same line for jobs.
