It should be mentionned that the jobs these low skilled immigrants are called for are extremely shitty (sometimes litteraly, as for elderly people personal care for instance) and desperatly low pay. It’s become a running joke to call it legal slavery. If I remember well, the visa they get is bound to a specific activity, so for most the only legal way out of that situation will to give up on Japan altogether.
