Immigration absolutely helps the US economy, because it parasitically siphons all the skilled workers out of other countries that it underdevelops and hoards their labor for itself.

People think remittances help underdeveloped countries, but labor is the superior of capital, losing that skilled labor is never worth the paltry sums that get sent back home. It's just another shape that imperialism takes.

The president made the remark while arguing that Japan, along with Russia and China, would perform better economically if the countries embraced immigration more.

Oh, well that's true enough. Japan is crazy anti immigration despite that being a solution to their low birth rate.

I can't speak to Russia or China, but Japan has a history of xenophobia going back CENTURIES. It's not exactly a newsflash.

lmao well he isn't wrong about Japan at least

Why am I seeing multiple news reports today about Joe Biden where they remove context to polarize his comments further? This feels, to me, like a new media trend

Japan simply is xenophobic. I lived there for 2 years. That's just a fact.

He's not wrong but also I believe there's a saying in English about stones and glass houses.

China xenophobic? I don’t think Biden knows what the word means. The oldest mosque outside of the Middle East is in China of all places built in 627 CE, and still standing.

What happened to the mosques in Spain and Occupied Palestine? Turned into bars and chicken coops.

I mean he's not wrong, but where does he expect China to get immigrants from? They're 20% of the world.

As always, more projection

Lmfao

As neat as Japan sounds and as much as I’d like to be there, I mean, he’s not wrong

I watch YouTubers who moved to and live there talk about how they’re just indefinitely treated like a tourist

Yet Japan still bows down to their masters in DC. Can Japan for once wake up along with occupied Korea?

I think "extremely ethnocentric" is a more fair description/criticism of Japan. Close to 98% of their population is ethnically homogeneous, so it kinda makes sense.

Pretty much every country in the world where citizenship, nationality, and ethnicity are the same thing you find xenophobia.

Partly true about inviting foreigners. Japan has a trainee visa system that is abusive, as they always are, and is designed so that those employees (victims) never get citizenship. And it's a single citizenship country, because of course it is. But hey, employers are very willing to bring in those laborers, since it's cheaper than paying what the law requires.

And you can't fix demographics with people who only stay for a year or two.

Who cares what this genocidal fascist has to say. The sooner he kicks it the better it will be for everyone else.

I don't live in Japan. But, I don't see the issue with Japan being 'xenophobic'.

Wait Biden actually said something true?

FFS. In a site where "news" = "stupid shit that happens in the US", can something named "world news" exclude the US? Please? Does it need to be called "non US news"?

I know other countries are mentioned here. But it's just the ramblings of dementia.

Mr. “Super-predators” and “kill their women and children”?

Ironic

This is Biden's liberal ideology -flood of migrants who lower wages for the working class, and brain drain of white collar labor from other countries. When you have a supply of migrant carpenters, they are going to underbid the citizens. Caesar Julio Chavez was opposed to immigration for this reason. I understand business want cheap labor, but this is not the incentive you want to advertise to the world, because you have migrant crisis like you have now. Not to mention, they are a nuisance to the locals who have to put up with them, uninvited, and have to sacrifice their economic well-being to support them.
