I'm so laughing at the people who were talking that mess saying Japan is above letting immigrants in
"ime Minister Shinzo Abe speaks to lawmakers following his reappointment as leader of the ruling Liberal Democratic Party in Tokyo on Thursday.
Prime Minister Shinzo Abe will attend a United Nations meeting next week, Tokyo said Friday, where he will reportedly announce support for Syrian refugees.
Abe may creak open his country’s notoriously tight immigration policy by accepting some refugees fleeing fighting in war-torn Syria, local media reported.
A four-year civil war in Syria has killed some 250,000 people and caused about 4 million to flee abroad, contributing to Europe’s worst refugee crisis since World War II.
Details of Abe’s planned speech at the U.N. were not immediately available.
Ahead of Abe’s trip to the U.N., Japan on Friday announced plans to extend a ¥480 million ($4 million) emergency grant in response to the refugee crisis in Europe.
Japan will give ¥240 million ($2 million) to the U.N. refugee agency and development program “in support of Syrian refugees and host communities in Lebanon,” the Foreign Ministry said in a statement.
“This emergency grant aid is to provide such support as improving self-reliance of Syrian refugees and strengthening local governments,” it added.
Tokyo will also grant an additional ¥240 million mainly to Serbia and Macedonia, where many refugees and migrants pass through on their way to the European Union bloc, it said.
“The world always has various problems, including the issue of Syrian refugees who are going to Europe,” Abe told a news conference Friday.
“As we are in such a period, I will express Japan’s strong intention to contribute to the world’s peace and prosperity.”"

>>40706What if your country only let in immigrants who could pass a basic education and IQ test, and questionnaire?
I think I'd be ok with that.
Obviously most of the immigrants are perfectly normal people who wouldn't cause any issues other than language barriers. I think the big problem is that there's no way of knowing if any of them have criminal records or extremist beliefs. Can't really get that info from the Syrian government.

>>40720That is not a good idea.
If they spend all this time and effort to travel all the way to your country from syria just to be rejected at the gate because of a piece of paper, you think they'd just happily up and leave?

>>42264Me too. I think someone has something on us (UK) tbh. We keep allowing all these random fucks in and throwing Qurans around the street , asking people "will you turn muslim pls?" and yet they get upset if we celebrate St George's day and having a poppy on the 11th November. I wish they'd fuck off tbh.
I can never say this without being called racist by do-gooders though.
It's like I feel bad for the genuine ones who have lost everything alright? I do feel bad for the children and babies more than anything. But at the same time, if people here in the UK are so fucking charitable then why don't they let them into their homes? Just don't cry and bitch about getting stabbed or strangled in the night or even robbed when it all goes to shit.

>>42336Heard about that too, infact there is a documentary on youtube about this. Some chinese woman tried reporting some old perverted Jap and he got away with it cos "she's chinese and all chinese are liars". I mean fucking hell, I'm not a big fan of the chinese either but god.
Yet every weeb wants to go live and get famous in Japan. Japan is nice don't get me wrong but at the same time, it's so behind in a lot of ways.

>>42402Good point, I don't know why I didn't realize this lol.
>>42429>>42336 here. Haha, I think we watched the same documentary. I read an article about it a loooong time ago too, and it's really heartbreaking.
I'm taking a polysci seminar here and oooooh boy I can't wait until we start talking about immigration issues. I love being able to study and live in Tokyo so I can indulge my inner weeb, but there is so much shit here that really reminds me how Japan is just another country with it's own shitty (and extremely infuriating) issues.
