Japan-Pays-Foreign-Workers-to-Go-Home

Before reading this blog post, read this article from Yahoo! finance. Don't just read it , actually. Bother to understand it. If it doesn't interest you, then neither will this post. I advise you to leave. But if it does interest you, then stay on. I have lots to say.


The post:
Can you believe this news from Japan? It's a sure sign that the recession is rapidly turning into a depression. A country would give its Latin American workers money to leave the country? The reason that Japan is doing this, or so it claims, is because there are currently no good jobs available, and these emigrants are taking the jobs of the Japanese. But Japan needs these emigrants to do precisely that- fill jobs! The three K's, as the article mentions, are mostly filled by Latin-American emigrants. But they argue that Japanese people should be filling these jobs. I'm sorry, but that to me just sounds really nationalist. It shows that Japan is not willing to welcome a multi ethnic community.Japan argues that the U.S.A, an immigrant country, has been a failure. Now, let us inspect the evidence carefully. The U.S.A. v. Japan.
Japan
-lost WWII
-Not a superpower in the world anymore
-hasn't influenced so many other countries and healed the wounds of the rest of the world like the U.S.A.
-not NEARLY as influential as the U.S.A and doesn't have as good of a military force

U.S.A.
-Won WWII
-a world superpower
-has influenced other countries, and helped them back on their feet, liberated Paris during WWII for example
-Has a good strong military force

You guys, don't get me wrong. Japan is an AMAZING country. I would love to go there someday. But the evidence shows... the U.S.A. is not a failure. We're so influential because all the immigrants and emigrants bring new thoughts and fresh ideas to our country. After all, Einstein was an immigrant.

(please do not take this as an article against the Japanese, I do not mean to offend anyone, just stating evidence!)
