No reason why they should not, except that South Korea and Japan are full up, and only a Jew, a very religious Christian, or an idiot would think of emigrating to Israel.
Why not compare Japan to Great Britain. They both had an empire. They both export a lot of goods overseas. Why does Great Britain need millions of muslim immigrants but not Japan?
As I know from other posts of his, RaleighRally is still bearing a grudge over the U.S. Immigration and Nationality Act of 1965, which abolished the frankly racist national-origin quotas of the Immigration Act of 1924. He’s not even American, yet he bears a grudge.
We’re right, they’re wrong.
Because the British have been programmed from birth to hate their culture. Duh!!!
Why should immigration be based on need? Why single out Muslims? The UK has as many Hindu immigrants as Muslim.
You know very well of all the Arabs who want to go back to Israel. There are also a lot of black refugees who wants to go there:
Sudanese refugee shot fleeing Egypt for Israel
Hmmm, wonder why those Egyptian border guards are instructed to shoot refugees heading for Israel…

That Nordic Nonsense is part of our American heritage, BTW. Kindasorta. Our Founding Fathers were not merely white supremacists, they were Saxon supremacists, they believed English blood superior to all other. Swedes were too “swarthy” for Ben Franklin.
Jefferson, for his part, hoped for a racial amalgamation between American whites and Indians – after all the blacks had been emancipated and deported.
First the British all went over to their countries to live, and now they’re all just returning the favor. It’s very civilized.
More tea?
No thank you, vicar.
Not the same, though there were similarities. A big part of the difference was that the White Australia Policy treated southern and eastern Europeans as “White”. After 1945, in particular, when Australia was strongly encouraging immigration from Europe, that meant a lot of immigrants from places like Italy, Greece, Poland and Russia – places that U.S. immigration policy before 1965 was discouraging immigration from.
The WAP ended as a result of legislation from both major political parties, in the 1960s and 1970s. You can call it “political correctness” if you like, but it was part of a removal of all forms of racial discrimination.
“American” is a definite ethnocultural identity, one shared by persons of various “races.” White, black, Indian – we’re all cousins anyway, and others can freely marry into the family.
:dubious: The word “need” is irrelevant to this discussion and you fucking know it.
Probably because they want to make nice with the Israeli government, and anybody who tries to sneak in might well be a Palestinian or Pal-sympathetic terrorist.
And I doubt there are many Arabs at all who really “want to go back to Israel” so long as the Israelis/Jews are running it.
You can’t make yourself into a minority if you’re already a minority.
Potayto, potahto!*
*OK, of course there is a difference, but the OP is so far off that I can’t be bothered to make much of a point. I find it hard to believe this is still in Great Debates.
Who says Japan doesn’t? Here’s an article describing the shortage of cheap labor in Japan. It’s a few years old but the fundamental demographics haven’t changed much. Japan needs cheap, immigrant labor but also wants to preserve an essentially racist culture.
If Japan had a more permissive immigration policy and/or let more of their women work, some of these issues would go away.
I am a Northern European and at this very moment giving you high quality posts from a Nordic country. I have been educated in Sweden from the age of 6 until I graduated from university a couple of years ago. I think I know a lot more than you about the brainwashing in our Schools. Diversity issues (ie whites are always the ones to blame) are taught to the children already in kindergarten and we are constantly reminded about the horrors of our German neighbors in WW2 and the Slavery of the Americas.
Our Prime Minister says this about our culture:
Well? Sweden was pretty barbaric in ancient times, in the Dark Ages, in the Middle Ages, and well into the Renaissance, I should think.
