UNITED NATIONS – Japan's prime minister said Tuesday that his nation needs to attend to its own demographic challenges posed by falling birth rates and an aging population before opening its doors to refugees.

Prime Minister Shinzo Abe announced at the U.N. General Assembly that Japan is ramping up assistance in response to the exodus of refugees to Europe from the Middle East and Africa.

Though there are numerous requirements and lots of paperwork, but Japanese citizenship isn’t impossible to obtain. Japan does not permit dual-citizenship, therefore one must renounce one’s nationality .

No, I don’t consider it racist but I contrast it with the way America has been taken over by other groups and beaten into submission because white liberals don’t want to offend anybody or they pretend to like minorities at the expense of others.

Also, there are no many guns in Japan in hands of civilians.

Last year I spent a week in Singapore on vacation. Walked a lot at all hours of the day. Never felt unsafe. Population is a mix of Chinese, Indians and Arabs. Some of the best restaurants and food anywhere!

And unlike Japan, they are not printing money to support the seniors. Actually Singapore imports 40% of workers from other countries. They are given 2 year work permits, then must leave and re-apply for another work permit.

There is no welfare for working age adults. No food stamps, no unemployment checks. You work or starve. May explain why there are 40% more jobs than there are citizens.

When the time comes I hope they let in American refugees who are fleeing from the communists.

We don't need more people in America, we need less. Our society and economy has a permanent need for a servant underclass (trash collectors, floor moppers and sweepers, etc) but for the most part what our economy is based on requires less people, not more.

In addition to getting ALL of the illegals out, we need to figure out how to get the idle poor percentage down to an affordable level. Regardless of the age.

“Japs never liked outsiders. Truth comes out. But they’ll be OK because they’re not white.”

Japanese prejudice against non-Japanese is a little more complicated than what we are used to here in the U.S. It’s based upon a centuries held belief that they are superior race. It cuts across all races and ethnicities including other non-Japanese orientals. There are Japanese bred and born Koreans whose grandparents were brought to Japan as slaves during WWII who are not able to become Japanese citizens. Lots of other examples if anyone is interested Google it.

How about putting to work all those EBT card users?

So how do the seniors who can no longer work due to illness support themselves?

Only working age adults are excluded from welfare. Seniors and children are not.

How’s that “low-wage workers” solution working for the USA?

Japan doesn’t need low-wage workers in the country. Their multi-national keiretsu simply put branch plants, wherever the low-wage workers already live.

Also, Japan is heavily invested in robotics. In the near future, they will have domestic robots capable of providing home-care services to seniors. Once again, no reason to import “low-wage workers”.

Much has been made of Japan’s “demographic collapse” or “aging population”. Actually, Japan is simply returning to population levels it had, up until the middle of the 20th century. When the population stabilizes, it will still be nearly 100% Japanese. No western multi-cultural nation say the same?

We agree, it’s not only taken over America, it’s taken over Europe.

It seems that apparently Americans and Europeans aren’t allowed now to be proud of nor protect our cultural or ethnical identity.

Why is this I wonder? We know the answer though don’t we.
