This is a no-brainer. I am a legal resident of Japan. I am not an immigrant, I fully expect to eventually return to the United States to live and work.

Ask me how I feel about illegal aliens in Japan, or about Americans who have no appreciation of Japanese culture of law coming to Japan and committing crimes.

Japanese immigration laws are stringent and they are not afraid to deport people who fail to follow the rules.

Of course, Japan is an island, which imposes a sharp limitation on the number of illegals that can penetrate the system -- there are some even still -- but make no mistake, they do a lot better than we do at keeping the riff-raff out.

Japan is better.....at keeping the riff-raff out.

More power to them. As someone who is completely enamored of the Japanese culture, anything the Japanese do is alright with me.

Americans owe a great debt to the Japanese. We are having to re-learn how to compete in the marketplace thanks, in large part, to the Japanese beating us with the lessons they learned from us and then took to a higher level. The lesson the Demonrats need to learn but can't come to grips with is the difference between legal immigration and ILLEGAL immigration. Perhaps Americans can also re-learn from the Japanese how to uphold immigration laws before it's too late.

Japan has an ancient common culture. Ours is obviously a lot newer, but what we had we seem to have lost to the cause of diversity. You may want to reconsider returning ;)

What boggles the mind is that MEXICO does a better job of stopping illegals than we do.

The MEXICAN constitution is very strict about immigration - but when it comes to America - we are required to bend over and grab our ankles.
