Can you take a minute to actually research why immigration is a hot topic, right now? Your recent comment history is not made in good-faith and lacks basic due-diligence. For instance, what's so unique about Japan?
Japan has an aging problem. Old people need to be taken care of, and everyone who is capable of caretaking is working in a more-valuable job. How do you keep your old people alive without blowing up your GDP? Any ideas? If you've got a short-term solution to this, go tell Japanese economists. Their short-term answer is immigration.
America also has this issue, exacerbated by a housing crisis. What happens when H1B immigrants buy up the house that a family of four wanted to buy in America? Do you think a new house gets built? Nope, the cost of housing goes up and rearing a family becomes that much harder. "Real" American families are falling through the cracks to make pensioners rich and allow immigrants to subsume our highest-GDP jobs. We should be copying Japan's strategy, the H1B floodgate has quite plainly not done anything for America.
