The Economist has a quick article about immigration policy in Japan.

It's not flattering.

Interesting article! I feel bad for the widow: losing a husband and getting fired. I hope she sees justice, but I doubt she will.

I guess since I really don't care at all about illegals my heart doesn't go out to anyone in the article.

I think most western countries are upset that Japan's homogenus population has shown it's much better than a diversity agenda. The people are more united, the crime is lower, problems are easier to address since you don't need to bend to accomodate special ethnic groups. So western countries have consistently attacked Japan for having the courage and intelligence to do what should be done all over the world.

Try reading western articles about Singapore & illegal immigration/crime. They are also not "flattering". But, the fact is these policies work much better than anything in western countries.
