1. How do u apply or start?

2. It is simple. If you don't want migrants, produce children, if not shut up. Throughout history migration is a natural process that has occurred for a number of centuries ago. This kind of barbaric ways of thinking should not be in the 21st century.

3. Don't compare france with Japan France is not even France anymore More than half of their population are foreigners who know in future they may kick out native France people out .

4. I’m always sad when I see foreigners who are working in japan because of mistreatment and low salary 😢

5. Dam 5 kids, maurice was putting in work😂

6. You need to ask why these workers will endure hardships to live in Japan, why not go to America or other Asian countries. If you work as construction laborers, you can do that in any country. If conditions are so bad why stay in Japan, what is the draw?

7. Japan should focus on robot that can replace human workforce. Or develop artificial womb that can produce human en masse.

   Problem solved.

8. If Japan won't ban muslim immigration then Japan will be destroyed

9. just don't hire Chinese spies.

10. do not work for japanese companies, I repeat, DO NOT WORK FOR JAPANESE COMPANIES.. toxic

11. I am a resident of Japan.

    Japan wants 技能実習生(Gino Jisshusei), not workers.

    By law they are supposed to be hired under the same conditions as Japanese, but the reality is different. Many of them work for less than the legal salary and are forced to work long hours.

    Most of them return to their home countries in tears without compensation or apologies.

    Never come to Japan on an Jisshusei visa, it has a high probability of destroying your life.

12. but honestly that clip which a Vietnamese worker who was mistreated was really terrifying.

13. It broke my heart to see that Vietnamese worker get abused by his Japanese co-worker. So barbaric! I wonder if the bully was even held accountable.

14. Because the Japanese population is declining, 70% are at the age of 70-100 years old, no young generation will going to work, no heritors.

15. No more Japanese-made vehicles 😢

16. Because of these news, misconceptions and prejudice against Japan are spreading. Unfortunately, there are many people in this comment section who feel superior by putting Japan down. It is disgusting.

17. The same thing is happening in America. Young Americans don't want to work in construction.

18. Hello Japan don't make the same mistake as France. Be selective with immigrants, get immigrants from Christian countries only like the Philippines

19. No one even the host condemn how Japanese violently bullies Vietnamese. Guess what? Most of people here are colonial minded.

20. where is the self sufficiency😂😂

21. I'm Japanese.
    why Japan used to be the 2nd biggest economy in the world is that company forced employees to work for long hours.
    There was a phrase "are you able to work for 24 hours" in 1980s. and some of the companies still expect employees to work like that.
    For some reasons, people from south east Asia think Japan is a great place to make money.
    I always feel like why east Asian countries are rich is that we are expected to work for long hours, period.
    If you come to work in Japan, plz remember some of the Japanese companies expect you to work harder with low pay. WLB gets bit better compared to the past though.

22. Be careful, folks. Japanese people aren't friendly as you think. A majority of them are two-faced, and they will find faults even if there's nothing.

23. Japan will welcome cultural enrichers and collapse like europe 😂

24. Every day there is talk of labor shortage and visa to Japan is so difficult If Japan's work visa is easy to get, then the labor shortage will be solved, right?

25. Some people come there to work, they don't get visas because visas are very difficult and they apply for political asylum visas, they are deported The Japanese people should give these work visas to those who have taken political asylum and make them legal in their country So that the labor shortage ends Because more people go to Japan on a visit visa for work And when the work visa is not available, they will take political asylum under compulsion So that they can work Therefore, I request the Japanese government to facilitate work visas and abolish political asylum visas To end Japan's labor shortage and create companies that employ people with work visas who are visiting Japan And give work visa to those who are on political asylum visa

26. Most of the people visit Japan and look for companies through which they can get a work visa, but they don't find such companies, they have only created companies that are for those who are living in Japan on permanent visas. Above and how to get that permanent visa Many Pakistanis have set up their own companies in Japan and are selling visas on behalf of their companies to other Pakistanis for Rs 50 lakhs Now not everyone has 5 million rupees to buy a work visa from another Pakistani and can work there Therefore, I request the Japanese government to facilitate the work visa so that Japan's labor shortage ends

27. Japan is using foreign's worker like slave..foreigns are working than japanese..but they are paying lowest rate

28. To do the shittiest jobs they don’t want to do 😂

29. Young Japanese don’t want children.
    A 20 something said babies are disgusting next my wife and daughter (8 months old).
    Elderly Japanese hate babies because they don’t like noise.
    A man threatened me in the 新幹線 because my 3 year old son was crying.
    Japanese society does not want children, it’s focused on providing benefits to the elderly to obtain votes (especially 自民党).
    The Tohoku region’s largest city only has one truck driver younger than 55.
    The country has no future.

30. Nihon/Nippon is the best country in the world

31. Japan needs to shift focus to agriculture.

    70% of their food comes from Imports.
    This was ok when the Yen was strong, but now the Yen has more than halved, locals are bearing the brunt.

    Japanese youth need to be ok with living rural family lives.

    But they wont.

    Theyre too far down the techno-stimulation pool.

    Also they do not have a culture of delayed gratification like other asian cultures, just more and more consumption.

    They need a culutral shift.
    Immigration is not the answer.

32. 😅

33. 😥

34. Don't compare Japan with other countries. If you want to stay then stay, if you want to leave then leave.
    I love Japan 🇯🇵 and I live in Japan 🇯🇵

35. Japanese looks be stupid and bad against foreigners, that's scary, Japanese are the opposite what we see in anime, and at the same time, people will treat you as you treat them.

36. Make sure to follow Poland immigration formula.

37. Mexican people been doing that
    Only thing they just did not say it at loud like the usa

38. and that's how you ruin a country.

39. Japan should change its work culture.

40. Interesting as a Black man who lived in Japan I was Virtually never bothered.

41. Do you know how much salary we receive every month working here in Japan

42. They will regret it!

    They are better off without immigrants.

43. Japan must remains for japanese and not accept foreigners! Foreigners whoever comes will bring their culture, mindset, behavior and religion which is absolutely negative… immigrants stay in your country!

44. "Highly harmonious society" ? LOL and the beatings of foreign workers are warm welcomes then ? LOL

45. Here's the Problem Japan 55% taxes on all paychecks, work hard for half a paycheck, that's a government problem so Japanese people better be voting for the right people
