JAPANESE PAY FOREIGNERS TO GO HOME

Japan is trying something new to help their recession torn country - they are paying any immigrants to go back to their home countries. I did a double take when I first read this but now I understand why. Pay the immigrant workers to leave and that opens up the job for a Japanese worker. Less money leaving the country, and more staying. Interesting. The program is limited to the country’s Latin American guest workers, whose Japanese parents and grandparents emigrated to Brazil and neighboring countries a century ago to work on coffee plantations. Will it work? Only time will tell. Here's the rest of the story.

Hi Dana/Debbie!
In my opinion, the Japanese Government is just doing what they think is good for their own citizens. It's like taking care and giving priority to the needs of your own family. I maybe wrong but it's only my opinion.

Btw, sorry Dana this is only for Debbie. I have something for you
Deb. Take it if you have time. Thanks and ingat!

this is quite interesting. I wonder if they'll apply this to the Pinoys if it'll be effective.
