Advisors tell Miyazawa to allow guest workers, ministers oppose
TOKYO, Dec 26 : Asians and other foreigner* are flocking to Japan in search of jobs but the government is locked tn a dilemma over who to admit, reports Reuter.
A government advisory panel gave Prime Minister Kitchi Miyazawa a controversial report this month, proposing that Japan liberalise its laws on admitting foreign workers.
It argues that Tokyo could reduce a worsening labour shortage, meet its international obligations better and regularise the situation of more than 100.000 illegal
But several powerful ministries. including Labour. Construction and Juplice. strongly oppose lifting the present ban on unskilled for-eign worker*.
They say It would lead to rising crime and the severe social problems caused by large-scale Immigration in Germany. France and Britain.
In the first six month* of this year. Japan caught and deported 12.265 illegal foreign workers 31.7 per cent above the same period in
1989, the last year for which comparable figure* are avail able.
Immigration officer* at Tokyo's main airport barred a record 16.600 people from entering tn the first 10 months of this year, against the previous record of 9,700 for ail of 1990
The arrivals were seeking to enter as tourists but suspected of looking for work. Of this year s total, Thais and Iranians each accounted for 5,500, with the figure for Iranians three times higher than last year.
As one of Its arguments, the Justice Ministry points to a record crime rate among foreigner*. The National Police Agency (NPA) say* 3,227 non Japaneae committed 4.814 crime* In the first nine months of this year, more than in all 1990.
' The list Included 21 murder*. 34 robberies with violence and 21 rapes.
According to police -vcords. Asians accounted for 30 per cent of crime committed by foreign nationals in the first nine months of 1991.
Chinese topped the list at f.212.
In late November, customs officers at Narita Airport arrested three Iranians, two of them Iran air security guards, who arrived from Tehran with 3.4 kg of opium worth 27 million yen (208.000 dollar). It was the largest seizure in
In other recent incidenta. two Soulhcaat Aalan men robbed a cab driver and set his taxi on fire, a South American was picked up with almost two kg of cocaine and three Chinese robbed a Chinese student of 630,000 yen (4,850 dollar).
Comparable figures for all crimes in the first nine .nonths of the year were unavailable but between January and June 1991 police recorded a total of 783.845 criminal cases.
Although crime* committed by foreigners are only a fraction of the total, an NPA spokesman has said that combating crime by this group has now become a priority for his agency
One government official
who declined to be named said the NPA wu. raising the Issue previously committed crimes mainly against other foreign-ora. now they were targeting '^**He*said the Justice Ministry and the NPA were publicising crimes by foreigners as part of vorkers
Advocates of liberalisation also have a strong case. They •ay it would please Asian countries pressing Japan to admit I heir workers.
Thousands of people, they add, are now working without proper legal or medical protection creating an underclass outside the law.
The advisory panel stops short of opening the door completely to unskilled work ers It proposes a quota for the total number, that they stay for a maximum of two years, receive a minimum level of training and work under the same labour law* as Japanese once trained.
Iranians are the most conspicuous newcomers to Japan.
In January- September 1991 police charged 356 Iranians with crimes, a near four-fold increase over the same period In 1990.
Salde. one of hundreds of Iranian workers enjoying a day off at a Tokyo park, denied that foreign workers created serious problems and said Japanese media presented only negative Images of Asians.
This give* most Japanese a bad Impression of us. We want to work for one year or two and earn money. We do not want to stay long-term.' he said.
Jun Mohammad, one of Iran's top labour-brokers, said his minimum 1.000 dollar fee for arranging a job In Japan included a return air ticket, fie receives about 40 phone call* a day at hl* Tehran office from Iranian* wanting to work tn
Jun Mohammad said all 150 people he sent to Japan had entered without a hitch.
"You need workers to do jobs Japanese will not do. be told a Japaneae newspaper." We provide excellent workers. You should welcome them."
