As a foreigner in Japan I support this. If Japan is not careful, it will unravel culturally and lead to all sorts of issues down the road.
If you import the 3rd world, you become the 3rd world
Doesn’t matter where people come from, I don’t want to see this country overran with Americans either - ironically speaking as one 🤣
Yes, but would also say an American would be more aligned with Japanese culture than someplace that has only ever known barbarism and religious extremism. And that’s me also as an immigrant expat, but dual-citizen, in Australia haha.
I hear you, but I’m repeating: keep everyone out 😜
Same here. The truth is that one of the reasons why this country is still safe is because everyone has a shared culture, it's incredibly hard to move here (unless you want to go the JET route and hate your life).
I support lower immigration in Japan, as an immigrant

My time in Japan lasted ten years, and for many reasons I consider it my second home. The degree to which living in Japan, fully immersed in Japanese language and culture, altered my life path and my mind itself, it cannot be overstated. The door for such culturally illuminating possibilities closes slightly with this news.
However, in that time I also observed my fair share of belligerent and oblivious Westerners, or even ones who didn't like Japan simply because it didn't accommodate them in some particular way.
These people need to have more of an open mind in order for Japan as a people to remain open-minded toward immigration.
(I was never a JET, but I befriended many who came and went over the years.)
