For years the Japanese, possibly the most xenophobic culture on earth, refused any foreign workers. Now the only thing keeping the country barely functional is immigration. Who wants to immigrate to a country though who think everyone else on earth is beneath them in cities like Tokyo where the Micro-aoartment has been considered decennt living conditions for young workers since the 1980s? You wonder why the birthrate is in the basement? Who's going to bring home a girl to an apartment like this, or worse, what girl would agree to go? :o
At least the dead ones don't have to pay off their national debt.
