Japan appears to be transitioning from a homogenous society to embrace ‘diversity and inclusivity’ by ushering in “an era of mass foreign immigration.”
It’s set to be a massive change for a country that was still up until recently 97.5% ethnic Japanese, according to the CIA World Factbook.
A Bloomberg report details how rapidly declining native birth rates, an aging society and a chronic labor shortage is fueling the importation of millions of foreigners who “are changing the face of Japan.”
The number of foreign workers in Japan has now exceeded 2 million, a 12.4% increase on 2022. The East Asian country needs at least 647,000 working-age immigrants per year to meet its 11 million worker shortage by 2040.
“Japan is entering an era of mass foreign immigration,” said Junji Ikeda, president of Saikaikyo, a Hiroshima-based agency that sources and supervises foreign workers. “Incremental adjustments will not suffice,” he added.
Under one program alone, 820,000 migrants will be admitted to work in the transportation and logistics sectors, a doubling of the previously agreed number, in order “to make efforts to realize an inclusive society,” according to Chief Cabinet Secretary Yoshimasa Hayashi.
While the process is being implemented under ‘skilled worker visas’, the actual roles migrants will fill include taxi drivers, bus drivers and factory workers.

The service industry will also be increasingly filled with foreign migrants, who will subsequently be allowed to bring their families to stay in Japan indefinitely.
The Economist reports that a “glimpse at Japan’s future” looks like convenience stores being staffed overwhelmingly by migrants, highlighting “the importance of immigration.”
The news outlet cites one such 7-Eleven store in central Tokyo where “all the staff are Burmese.”
For a glimpse at Japan’s future, look at its convenience stores.

“Gearoid Reidy in an article for the Japan Times estimates that the number of overseas workers has more than doubled in the last decade, while the broader foreign community, which includes children and students, has risen by 50 per cent,” reports the Spectator.
“Reidy envisages a time when more than 10 per cent of Japan’s population will be foreign born, putting the famously homogenous, exclusive, nation on a par with the UK, U.S and France.”
Is Japan finally embracing immigration?

Good luck with that.
At the end of last year, the government announced that crime had risen for the first time in 20 years, a situation native Japanese people might become more familiar with in the coming years.
A BBC News report about Japan’s previous refusal to adopt mass migration highlighted how the country was “stuck in the past,” with that past being characterized as “a peaceful, prosperous country with the longest life expectancy in the world, the lowest murder rate, little political conflict.”
Japan was the future but it's stuck in the past.

Apparently, affordable property prices, “refusing immigration and maintaining the patriarchy,” and the fact that “Japan still feels like Japan, and not a reproduction of America,” is being “stuck in the past.”
However, while importing large numbers of workers, Japan does still seem to be keen to limit foreign nationals claiming to be asylum seekers.
A new system starting in June will give the government the power to deport foreigners who have had their asylum claims rejected multiple times.

The Tokugawa shogunate is rolling over in its grave.
The end of Japan
RE: If they instead import Malaysian moose limbs, they are toast.
The Philippines is just 3 hours flight away.
What if they import Catholic Filipinos?
綿はこれと何の関係があるのでしょうか？
Sad; very sad. The Japanese people of today are not the pre-WWII Japanese people. I think Hiroshima and Nagasaki together with the WWII unconditional surrender, occupation and imposed Constitution had profound effects on the Japanese.
Japan will transition from being an incredibly clean, neat and crime free homogenous country to a dirty, low trust, crime ridden country now.
Sad.
Rahm explained what to do when the new “visitors” cause much higher crime rates in the cities....
fudge the numbers!
P.S. If anyone objects call them “racists” and “haters” and “extremists”.
The #1 thing Japan needs to protect with this new policy is their CULTURE. We used to do that (protect the American Culture), and it made us the envy of the world. Then came “multi-culturalism” which was specifically designed to destroy our successful culture and replace it with tribalism. I hope the Japanese are smarter.
There was just a story about Muslim riots in Japan. Go to vidmax and look up “Japan Somali” and see the filthy violent imported trash which are causing problems. The third world is the third world because the people there create it and enjoy it. It ain’t the soil.
It came out of my translator as:
We should have chosen the cotton ourselves.”
Close enough.
Japanese are not yet experienced with the population/youth decline hysteria and falsified statistics that open border pimps have so successfully fooled (and continue to fool) people in the US with.
Isn't that the case in western countries, like the USA? All the young people leaving flyover country to go to the big cities, resulting in huge homeless encampments on the streets. A young neighbor boy in his 20's left California for Texas with his girlfriend, wanting to get some land in Texas and farm it. His girlfriend dumped him, and he soon returned. I asked him why he returned? He said for the bigger money he could make in the city here (SF). Said he would make some money for a few months, and then go back and buy land. Totally deluded young people, thinking the cities will solve all their problems in a short period of time. A year later, he can't hold a job more than a week, hangs out at his dad's place while smoking pot all day. Young people are lazy, everywhere.
Are you speaking of Johnny Somali? I recently watched some YouTube videos about that black ah*le in Japan. Totally disrespectful of the Japanese peoples, gave them much incentive to hate black people. The Japanese authorities finally jailed him, giving him a 3-year sentence for his crimes against Japan.
So what exactly do you think Japan ought to do?
mistake
Tell the global planners to put their plans where the Sun
doesn’t shine.
Well, they’ve done that for decades and their birth rates kept plummeting. So, other than that, what? Because without something else they are dead as a country.
That’s too bad... Japan seemed to be one of the few sane ones left....maybe the LAST one. I don’t they’re going to enjoy the muslim..
自分たちで綿を選ぶべきだった
You can say THAT again.!
What is sane about a culture that does not want to have children?
