'Immigration revolution' suggested as solution to Japan's dwindling working population

This article is about Japan but this post holds true to any population.

When it comes to filling jobs, why is flooding first world nations with third world immigrants seen as a reasonable solution to replace the workforce of a dying population? The solution should be to encourage large families in the existing population. Bringing in third world immigrants brings third world lifestyles with them. If a first world nation wanted to maintain order in the workplace as well as its country they would need to remain in key positions of power. That of course would be "racist" and as the article states equivalent to a slave population being ruled over by the plantation owner. Protests would become commonplace until the transfer of power is complete. Then you have full transformation of a first world nation to a third.
The solution should be for Europeans to have large families as we used to. And in the mean time get involved with local politics to reverse some of the socialist policies that affect our ability to afford to raise our families.

With a declining population, Japan is on track to lose about half its workforce by 2060, and with that, its status as an economic superpower.

Some are calling for an "immigration revolution" but that is gaining little traction in a country that is seen as the most homogenous in the world.

In Japan, birth rates are at record lows and the ageing population at record highs.

Now, the former head of Tokyo's Immigration Bureau, Hidenori Sakanaka, is calling for what many Japanese find unthinkable, large-scale immigration.

"We need an immigration revolution to bring in 10 million people in the next 50 years, otherwise the Japanese economy will collapse," Mr Sakanaka said.

He said it was now a case of "populate or perish" and Japan had to change its mentality.

"Japan is an island country and we didn't let foreigners enter for over 1,000 years, so we haven't had great experiences living with other ethnic groups," he said.

Japan's last experience with immigrants did not end well.

To fuel Japan's "economic miracle", Brazilians of Japanese descent were encouraged to return in the 1980s and 1990s.

With their very different culture, they established communities and worked in factories, but when the bubble burst and companies downsized, many of the 300,000 Brazilians were sent home.

Shoko Takano stayed and set up a school to support the Brazilian community.

Most of the children are third or fourth generation but still cannot get Japanese citizenship.

"Japanese Brazilians are disadvantaged and they get bullied," Ms Takano said.

"The kids can't speak Japanese well so they're bullied. They become dropouts and the job prospects are not good. The community is behind from the very start."

Foreign worker visas pose problems

The Japanese government has said the solution to the shrinking workforce is to give more foreigners, working and training visas for three to five years.

But the United Nations has likened the scheme to slavery where the workers have no rights and are paid little.

A Bangladeshi man, who wants to remain unidentified, worked in the Japanese construction industry for decades but was forced out. He said he was discriminated against.
