U.S. official hopes Japan will shift to 10-finger immigration screening

The Zai-Nichi are also exempt from the fingerprinting rigamarole. Go figure.

 

What the hell business is it of the US how Japan handles immigration?
They'll be trying to dictate the Constitution to us next.

Oh, hang on....

 

So if someone does the simple task of wearing gloves...it all becomes pointless doesn't it. xD

 

Oh, man. I got all this super glue on all ten of my fingers and it wont come off. This stuff is so hard to predict! :)

 

The skeleton who runs Homeland Security talked to George about where the most serious threat would come from. From where would the terrorists travel to the US?
Not from Mexico, hidden in bales of marijuana, or walking across the unguarded border with Canada, too easy and obvious. These people are diabolical, so they would have to be coming from Japan! Makes sense doesn't it? Probably no one would notice a bunch of arabs carrying AK-47s walking around Tokyo.

 

Wrong guy.... "V-i-s-i-t-o-r-s only..."

I'm assuming you mean "Permanent Resident" or does this stand for "People's Republic of...?"

check out their website and bring yourself up to speed...

 

yeah! i realize that, and i am so happy that i am not a citizen of a country which run by a subnormal intelligence single party goverment who don't even know how to think. they good only follow what the master (USA) said , a long period!

 

US PRs, aka Permanent Residents, aka Green Card holders, are fingerprinted as part of the process of obtaining a Green Card. Always have been. They are NOT fingerprinted upon returning from abroad, true, but they have been fingerprinted and those prints are on file.

 

A bit overly simplistic. Japan was fingerprinting all of it's non-Japanese residents until not that long ago. They were not 'following what any master said.'

As far as how non-citizens are processed, this is up to the country. Many non-Japanese do not need visas or to pay any fees to enter Japan as tourists. This is still a pretty good deal I think. Quite frankly, IMHO, it is only the permanent residents in Japan who have a bit of a right to wish that they were exempt from the proceedure as they seem to go through a fairly rigorous process to get that status and that should be enough to let them pass through the same line as Japanese people do.

 

And someone wants Japan to pay for development costs, perhaps?

Protesting the "fingerprinting" issue is only one of the many prejudices against "foreigners" that need to be addressed in this country.And we certainly do not need the US government to butt in!
Things will HAVE to change.

 

Yep, that is the next phase.



You bet. They will have complete access to Japanese data. It's all about control. It is so the few can decide for the many, and for their own benefit. We are closer to becoming enslaved, each day.

Orwell helped warn us, but many of us have "bad hearing" http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Big_Brother_(1984). New technology will help enslave us in ways yet unimaginable and possibly unavoidable.

 

It always irks me. How my (US)government always touts the Constitution as if they read it.

I'm surprised Japan doesn't look at my government oddly stating, "Yeah. We see how you handle immigration. How's that North American Union coming along?"

 

Absolute waste of money. The US DHS just wants to contract itsellf out to replace all the matchines and make a profit from it. Security accounts for 60% of Israel's economy and the US is a saleman for Israel because Israel is a cashcow for the US MIC. That is why they are pushing this on Japan.
