Trump [jokingly] told Shinzo Abe he’d ship 25 million Mexicans to Japan
The New York Post ^ | June 15, 2018 | Bob Fredericks

President Donald Trump stunned his fellow world leaders at the G7 meeting when he said he would ship “25 million” Mexicans to Japan, which would result in Prime Minister Shinzo Abe losing his next election.

During the gathering in Quebec — which ended with Trump leaving early and refusing to sign the traditional joint communique — the president was talking about what he called Europe’s immigration problem when he turned his attention to the Japanese leader.

“Shinzo, you don’t have this problem, but I can send you 25 million Mexicans and you’ll be out of office very soon,” Trump said, the Wall Street Journal reported, citing a senior EU official who was in the room.

JapMex!

Don’t laugh. I grew up on in a border town in Texas with Mexico and there was a guy named Pablo Wong who owned a liquor store. He would give us free shots if we bought a bottle or two from him.

And that’s why Sarah has to remind “journalists” that they can’t seem to grasp even simple sentences and concepts....

Does Mexico have elections? Why don’t we send back all our illegal (not the legal ones) Mexicans and have them vote for a political candidate who espouses American values that they come here to experience????????????????

MMG! Make Mexico Great! Give Mexicans and their children MMG hats and shirts for their trip home.

Wow. Abe probably had no idea what hit him.

It was a truth bomb.

Trump has a great relationship with Prime Minister Abe, who probably enjoyed the joke. Japan has an immigration program which we could stand to model. They select so carefully that even the American ex-pat community there commits crime at a lower rate than the natives. Pretty amazing when you think about it!

The Japanese don't even have quota limits on foreign workers. Businesses are basically allowed to import just as many as they want with a single caveat-- they are required to pay them at least a 10% wage premium (or more) over the prevailing wage for the job. As one might imagine, the only foreigners who get hired under this scenario are those which produce at least 10% (or more) than their Japanese counterparts.

One result is that foreigners working in Japan are highly skilled and mainly grateful to their host country for the opportunity as opposed to mainly resentful for the exploitation which their counterparts in America suffer.

Another big difference is foreign workers with the proper visa are free to change jobs. If a company which loses a foreign worker they sponsored goes to immigration to complain, they are simply told "You should have paid them better or treated them better so they didn't want to leave."

Japan accepted a grand total of THREE asylum applicants in 2017.

Two of them - both Turk Muslims, one just 14 years old - gang raped a Japanese woman.

I don't think so. See my post #54.

It is a dirty little secret that even though the Koreans love to accuse the Japanese of being racist (which is at least partly true) tens of thousands of Koreans smuggled themselves into Japan in the confusion of the final days of World War II and the months following. Their decendents make up the vast majority of the minority population in Japan today.

Japanese and Korean are linguistically very closely related, so it wasn't all that hard to blend in. From 1910-1945 Korea was considered a part of Japan, just as was Taiwan (1895-1945) and southern Sakhalin island and the Kuriles (1905-1945), called Karafuto and Chishima Reito by the Japanese still.

The Japanese still haven't signed a peace treaty with Russia to relinquish these claims, though Taiwan and Korea were fomally relinquished in the surrender agreement they signed with the United States and our (Nationalist) China allies.

to the informed, who are aware of just how restrictive Japan’s immigration policy is, that was a Yuge joke!
