Daughter of illegal immigrants submits petition seeking special residence permission

I hope Japan boots her. Shit like this needs to be hardlined against as you can see the problems America has with illegals sucking up healthcare and tax dollars, demanding shit like spanish in the classroom cuz their lazy ass won’t learn english.

My family and lots of friends came to the USA legally and wow, I learned the language and pay my taxes. Do the same thing, I hope she gets the boot.

She should stay. The parents should stay, too, in my opinion. They weren’t doing anything illegal besides the obvious: being in Japan.

Big problem. Japan is not USA, so laws are different.
Demanding japan to do whatever USA does on immigration just because it seems good is unfair. On the other hand keeping illegal all those immigrants whithout minimum assistance is not good either.
I think the main hindrance for this problem is the japanese complex of race purity, but that’s an illution, since nobody is pure and we all came from someone else.

I said this before and I’ll say it again. No matter how you put it, her parents broke the law. She is only 11, she’ll do fine at her home country. I’m sure she speak fluent tagalog at home with her parents too. If you don’t enforce the law for this case, then there would be many more cases like this.

There is no way she should be allowed to stay. That would open the door to illegal immigrants in any country to have kids, put them through the school system, and then claim that it’s the only country they’ve known and they should stay. People (parents) need to learn that there are consequences to doing things illegally. Besides, she’s 11, smart, and completely adaptable. It’s not the first time a young child has had to be relocated.

Alex, you are just confirming my words.

“In the Meiji Era, the Japanese government adopted parts of a Western world view and tried to separate Japan from its “backward Asian neighbors”. That doesn’t mean Japanese thought they were Caucasian.”
Than what they though they were? Africans? They believed they were superior to the rest of inferior Asians, but Caucasians were the superiors at that time, so …

“Oh, and Dr. Yu – Go through the following list of Korean Manhwa and tell me if you can find any that don’t portray characters with huge eyes, tiny mouths, and multi-colored hair”
You are right. Before and mostly after the Japanese colonization, Korea was greatly influenced by Japan in the cultural field. (Look at Korean Music and comics at that time). But Korean comics author copied Japanese mangas because they though they were cute, not because of supremacy ideology.

Regarding the anti-japanese thing, I’m tired of repeating this thing, but every time I post a comment that does not please the Japanese and the japanesphiles, they label me anti-japanese, and I’m tired of it.

Look, the “race purity” problem exist everywhere, even in Korea (although in a different way), and that was one of the reason why until recently Korea did not approve korean citizenship for foreigners. The Korean-chinese for instance were not given Korean citizenship despite of their long immigration history. They were also forbidden to own property in Korea.
