I have a sympathy for Noriko Calderon however if she allowed to stay & study, there will be flood of illegal immigrants will bring their kids. Japan does not like USA. It has no natural resources & limited small land of islands. Population is more than one quarter of US.…

PAD supporters has already kicked off one Thai prime minister. They have been protesting on the roads for six months. If the new prime minister come again, they will still make noise again. Besides that they have to concern about the opinion of the rest of the population. Not…

Stimulating the economy require huge amount of bail out & infrastructure budget. It is fair enough however Obama did not mention where does the money come from?

In my knowledge, major cities in Japan are over crowded & less space now. More people means more traffic, more mouths to feed, more housing & more hospitals needed.
