The other day, We discussed a problem about immigrants in South African.
In South Africa, the unemployment rate is 24% and many unemployed South Africans blame foreigners for taking their jobs. In April, at least seven people died because of anti-foreigner violence. People targeted workers from other countries. Although the authorities condemned the violence, they have not stopped complaining about the foreigners working illegally.
More than 3,900 people, including 1,650 illegal immigrants had been arrested since April’s violence.
After the the deported, many Mozambiques who have been deported live in tents in a transit centre near the capital Maputo.
In Japan, there are few immigrants compared to the other countries, such as U.S. or some European countries.
Therefore, problems about immigrants are not familiar to us. However, there is a possible that Japan will accept many immigrants in the future. So we should think about the problems. There are good points and bad points to accept immigrants. In a positive effect, immigrants may solve a problem of labor shotage in Japan. In a negative effect, they may cause a clash of different cultures. Too many immigrants may harm Japan and too few immigrants may mean nothing. So I think we need proper rules when Japan accept immigrants.
