It appears that the detritus of Japan is being exported to the United States, similar to the sad affair with Australia. The Land of the Rising Sun wisely rejects most immigrants and almost all refugees. It goes back to the policy of the Meiji Restoration of improving Japan with Western technology, but rejecting the nascent cultural corruption that even in the late 1800s Japan was concerned about. It was exemplified by the slogan Sonnō Jōi, also Sonno Jo I, Revere the Emperor, Expel The Barbarian.
Globalists are demanding more refugees for Japan, and even ginning up public support for refugees, but the Abe Shogunate has decided differently. They will expel even the hard-working, law-abiding illegal alien and refugee.
The family who owns Little Ethiopia Restaurant & Bar had enough money to apply for a business visa, allowing them to open up their restaurant despite the fact that they haven’t been officially accepted as refugees in the country. While they’ve been able to build a life in Japan, Tegegn’s stay has felt more temporary. He left Ethiopia for Japan 11 years ago, when his wife was pregnant with their third child. Eleven years later, he has still not received refugee status and he has still not met his daughter.
“As a man, I cannot cry in front of others,” Tegegn says as he lays out 11 years worth of photos of his three children on a table: Saron, 16; Nahusenay, 13; and Veronica, 10. The photos illustrate the childhoods he has missed out on, from the faded shot he brought with him to Japan to the image of his eldest daughter, now a young woman. “I cry at home,” he adds.
Tegegn is in Japan on karihōmen (provisional release) status, which suspends the possibility of detention and deportation while his application or appeal is ongoing. He is still considered an asylum-seeker, so he’s unable to leave the country or bring his family to him.
“I don’t think I am a burden for the Japanese government,” he says. “I work and pay all my taxes, I follow all their rules, I don’t commit any crimes. But I still don’t get a visa. My future is uncertain.”

Despite the appeal to emotion, Abe Shinzo is standing firm. Refugees are not welcome in the Land of the Gods. Note the pro-immigrant journalist as well. He certainly has an agenda for Japan, and it is not in the interests of Japan.
Japan is the world’s fifth-largest donor to the U.N. Refugee Agency, yet it accepts less than 1 percent of asylum-seekers. This staggeringly low acceptance rate has earned it a reputation for turning away refugees. In December 2018, the government introduced an immigration policy that welcomed foreign laborers in an attempt to fill the rapidly widening gaps in Japan’s aging workforce. However, the policy did not address any responsibility to asylum-seekers. As the Diet liberalized its strict immigration policies, it tightened the rules for refugees. In 2018, it cut the rights of asylum applicants to work while their applications are under consideration.
But what Japan wisely rejects, America accepts.
Hilmneh Tegegn came to #Japan with the hopes of getting refugee status. Eleven years later, he is packing his bags for the U.S. My latest for @japantimes 🗞️ https://t.co/rzv0KQoCPY

Though we do not know about the legality of this so-called refugee’s acceptance into America. How did someone living in Japan get refugee status in the United States, and from a democracy we recognize, Ethiopia?
Just last month, Tegegn found out that his application to the U.S. was accepted and he is now eager to leave Japan.
“I was so excited about Japan when I arrived. I learned the language, the rules, the culture,” he says. “But now I am tired of the food, I have given up on the language. I can’t wait to leave.”
Does the United States want an ingrate like him? He is tired of Japanese cuisine? Japan has more Michelin Star restaurants than any other nation. And these include the cheapest Michelin Star restaurants in the world, $10 ramen, and it’s delicious. What will the United States get from this ingrate, especially at his age? Welfare dependency is most likely. And what is the basis for his entry to the United States? There is no basis for refugee status from Ethiopia.
In fact, given the new policy by the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) and the Department of Justice (DOJ), Tegegn is subject to the Safe Third Country rule on asylum and refugee status. He may even have obtained a tourist visa, and will fraudulently be using it to enter the U.S. and submit an asylum claim or just live here illegally.
Ken The Knife should be looking into this.
