Immigration

Recently President Obama announced that he would postpone the immigration reform.

Immigration is one of the most controversial issues. It can be both right and wrong whether a country allows large immigrants or not. For example, because of a decline in birth rates, Japan is considering to accept a large number of foreigners who can potentially work, and thereby support its economy.

However, at the same time, there might be some people who just want to issue Japanese passports, retire their current jobs in Japan and receive welfare public assistance, which is often given to extremely poor citizens.(which is actually happening nowadays)

Whether welcoming international immigrants really depends on how much a country will benefit from these immigrants. If the economic benefit from immigrant workers outweighs the cost of illegal welfare public assistance, Japan had better issue more passports to those foreigners.
