Ban on welfare for foreigners? So, don’t need to pay for them, right?
What does „外国人への生活保護支給禁止“ / „ban on welfare benefits to foreigners“ actually mean? What counts as „welfare“? Does this include childcare support? Would we have to start paying full price for daycare for example?
A lot of the proposals in this headline will be well-received not just by Japanese voters, but foreign residents too.
However, when they complain about foreigners receiving welfare, they always ignore that two-thirds of foreigners receiving welfare are Koreans. This is important because foreigners were previously denied the right to the same pension as Japanese. Now that many of these Koreans are retired, they don’t have enough money to cover their living expenses.
In other words, anti-foreigner sentiment of the past is fueling anti-foreigner sentiment today.
Sanseito has also proposed in the past that naturalized citizens and their children should be denied the right to vote.
Didn’t they allow foreign parents to native Japanese partners also get 500,000yen?
Is that taken off them under this?
What a joke! I doubt the recent Japanese youth know more than a foreigner who is honestly interested in their culture.
So… does that mean we can opt out of their required welfare payments then?
Said this in the other thread, but my issue isn’t the fairness of any single one of these rules, it’s the constant barrage. Perhaps Japan cut foreigners too much slack in the past, but the new tone being set nationally is „you’re not up to snuff and you need to shape up or ship out“. It feels like becoming a second class citizen in terms of social status.
People keep trying to rationalize the new rules as only applying to the „bad“ foreigners, but your average neighborhood racist isn’t going to make those kinds of distinctions. If he feels like taking his aggressions out on a foreigner and you happen to be nearby, he could do it to you. On a national level he’s getting tacit permission to feel that way about you.
生活保護 (welfare) is already only for nationals by law, it is in the constitution and what is written on it only applies to 日本人.
There are a lot of news of some town halls giving it to non nationals going around, but I wonder how many people are getting them, why, etc. Making another law on top will not change things.
Its just a populist stunt, now that the liberals are taking action, Sanseito dont have a reason to exist anymore. Their entire program is about immigration.
That means foreigners have to pay lesser taxes because they get lesser benefits?
I mean I can understand that right wing parties in Europe leading the polls due to the massive abuse of the asylum system and the significant demographic change which is caused by it.
Moreover, the leftist and conservative establishment doesn’t even recognize that there might be a problem. So it makes sense that right wingers can achieve wins with low afford slogans.
But C‘mon, every foreigner has good reasons to be in Japan and went through the legal process. They are working hard and pay taxes or studying at Japanese universities. They enrich the country, and I use this term unironically.
Sanseito can propose all the want, they need support from the other parties. If they don’t have that they’re just shouting into the void.
I don’t really understand…. Are they really asking that I pay taxes but do not receive protection? I mean, will I still pay for pension if I can’t receive it? It could be a deal to be honest, I will gladly not contribute if they don’t want me, but if I still pay that’s nuts.
Or it is only for unemployed who don’t pay taxes? It seems not clear…
If you pay the same taxes, you should be entitled to the same benefits, no?
And, no need to do taxes, right ? …right ?
this guy has a very punchable face
