Japanese society outside of the main city/touristy areas is just not very foreigner friendly. So it surprises me that was the sentiment expressed.

Yet, you oppose it. Using your statement, it appears you are speaking out of both sides of your mouth. For the record, I hate the new Arizona abortion law, but it is up to Arizona now and the federal government and federal elections are ruled out in an attempted fix. No. Apples and oranges. This actually goes back to problems with the Articles of Confederation. The Founders realized that the US could not function as a nation without a central government with enough power to raise taxes, to regulate commerce between the states, to enforce federal laws, and to control foreign policy on behalf of the nation as a whole. As a sovereign nation, the US had to be able to speak to other nations as ONE nation, with ONE VOICE, not as a bunch of separate states. So the Founders sorted out which responsibilities HAD to reside with the federal government and which could be delegated to the states. That's why each state can make its own laws regarding abortion, or deer hunting, or alcohol consumption, but none can create its own foreign policy. E.g., Arizona cannot have a repatriation agreement/treaty with Mexico separate from Texas and Maine and Hawaii.

So it surprises me that was the sentiment expressed. Me too. But I heard Japan is an island. That may mean they do not feel the pressure of countries like Greece and the US, which have hundreds of thousands of immigrants massed on the border, with thousands slipping in every day. It's so much easier for them to control it. RE: Arizona Election may add illegal immigrant border bill - Belsnickel - 05-16-2024 (05-15-2024, 10:50 PM)Dill Wrote: Me too.

Not just for Japan, but I would wager most countries will see a rise in the opinion of less immigration due to COVID.

The figure topped 11,000 from January through September this year, partly due to Japan's complete lifting of its COVID-19 pandemic border restrictions in April, the sources said. Overall for 2023 they accepted a total 303 lol whew records being smashed! But for work visa's, they approved about 1.3m in 2022. So they do let people in.

There is a difference between what the government does and what the sentiment is that is reflected in polls, though. |
