JAPAN - How Illegal Aliens are Handled

Japanese immigration laws are taken seriously by the authorities --a condition that prevails in most non-western parts of the world. In this 7-minute video we ride along with two Japanese cops on patrol in the very busy Shibuya ward of downtown Tokyo.

When they cruise past a pedestrian who appears apprehensive and abruptly reverses his walking direction, this is enough for the cops to stop and initiate contact. They ask to see his Foreigner Registration Card, something that all foreign residents in Japan must carry on their person at all times (I look very foreign and this has happened to me). Foreign residents in Japan must have such cards to register a bicycle, pet, rent a video DVD, etc.

When the cops find the walker has a fake ID card, a foot chase ensues. He is brought to HQ, a full confession is extracted, and he is deported.

Case closed.

“The (random) receiving country (e.g., Iran, Red China, Russia) would in all probability simply refuse entry, and simply send the illegal alien back to Australia.”

That was exactly my first thought upon reading that. If only it was so easy to throw illegals on a plane and be done with them...

That comment was in the past tense or should have been. It used to be that easy to get rid of visa-overstayers say 20 years ago. To hustle them onto an airplane and out of Japan

It would be nearly impossibly to over stay a visa anyway since the country is over 98% native Japanese and nobody would hire or rent to an “outsider” without a valid visa anyway.>>>>>>>>>>>

In fact there are illegal immigrants in J-Land and they work in restaurants and construction and other shadowy sectors where you can be paid cash same as in America. But the Japanese have pride so their illegal immigrant problem is one-hundredth what ours is. I’ll bet they bring in lots of foreigner contract workers to rebuild earthquake/tsunami areas and some will try to stay behind

I suspect that it was a bit more formal than that...but I get the point. In any case, I remember when I looked into going there 20 years or so ago, they required that you show a return air ticket before you got past passport control...like you say, they did not mess around.

I don't see how they can inspire fantasies of a pure American race.

I can.
It just requires legal Mexican immigrants to actually look forward to American citizenship, by first embracing the American language and culture.

I like it that way.

In fact I think subtitles are not much correct.
I think I first saw a video years ago on TV but they write a guy has a visa expired by 2010.

Interesting video, thanks for posting.

But something was missing, the tune “Bad boy, bad boy, watcha gonna do, when they come for you...” !

[Eaker]

Thanks for posting this! Also thanks for posting it in full with a direct link to the video and none of that blog pimp crap.

Good job and the translations are very funny!

[Eaker]

Well, I think they are very accurate.

(Do I speak Japanese? Well no.)

[PGalt]

Thanks for the ping; post. Cool chase scenes. Never try to outrun a marathoner cop.

How to handle an illegal alien.

BUMP

[gaijin]

I want you to TELL me which parts I got wrong.

OK?

You tell me that. I’m waiting.

[cunning_fish]

Due to a subtitles chicom alien has his visa expired last year (2010).
And I think I’ve seen this video earlier than 2010 already.
In fact it is just my assumption. I don’t speak Japanese. Correct me if I wrong.

You missed the point (i.e., that the Japanese don’t hire or rent to people who can’t prove they belong there). Unscrupulous Americans are a huge part of our illegal alien problem.
