Kirakira, I think you are looking at this reasonably, but you assume that if the money is not spent on getting people to have kids, it will be immediately allocated to some MORE USEFUL purpose. As we know, it is much more likely to be squandered on a highway somewhere.…

So what are they going to do with it then? Save it? If you can afford to save it then quite frankly you are not in desperate need of it!

I`m confused. My husband came home last night and said the income limit had been set at 8 mill.

I agree that 20 mill is way too high, but I hope the government are a bit more sensible about it than a blanket cut-off regardless of the limit. What about…

I cant understand the apathy here. This was one of the major policies on their manifesto, if not THE most major one. And now, whilst not regenging on it (yet) they are "making major adjustments". Whats the betting they set the income limit so ridiculously low it excludes most everyone…

Of course this is only possible if the home culture is respectful of the old culture of the immigrant. One thing is for sure, Japan should NOT follow the US model in this area, which has resulted in a multiplicity of hyphenated groups whom have no real sense of national…
