"The Supreme Court announced Friday it will take up the case against the latest version of President Trump's travel ban, which bars entry in to the United States for residents of six majority-Muslim countries.

The court will hear arguments in April and is expected to issue a ruling by June." http://www.foxnews.com/politics/2018/01/19/supreme-court-announces-it-will-rule-on-trumps-travel-ban.html

    Japan's policies about immigration and citizenship have their own problems. Isn't Japan basically known as an incredibly racist society?* It's impossible to become a Japanese citizen unless you're already Japanese, basically.

    What's wrong with that? It's their country, it's their culture, it's their people. It's their rules. Why do you assume they must accept foreigners into their society? Not doing so is a "problem"? What a curious worldview.

    Go back and reread my post--I didn't say there was anything wrong with it. If you're a fan of "no, fuck off, you can't come live here" then they're doing everything right.

    Obviously completely missed the point of my entire post. Try again.

    To elaborate, one pragmatic problem with their immigration policy is that the country's population is shrinking over time because they don't let anybody new in, and the population apparently doesn't want to reproduce enough.

      The people who bother to reproduce will produce kids who bother to reproduce. Evolution will quickly resolve the problems of birth control and distraction.

      Japan will remain Japanese. The same can not be said of Germany, France, Sweden, Britain, etc. Those cultures will be wiped from the Earth.
