Why can’t Japan be more like America and open itself up to every single invader with a plane ticket?
President Joe Biden on Wednesday called close US ally Japan “xenophobic” at a Washington, D.C., fundraiser, just weeks after lauding the US-Japan alliance at a state dinner.
The president made the remark at the off-camera event while arguing that Japan, along with India, Russia and China, would perform better economically if the countries embraced immigration more.
“You know, one of the reasons why our economy is growing is because of you and many others. Why? Because we welcome immigrants. We look to – the reason – look, think about it – why is China stalling so badly economically? Why is Japan having trouble? Why is Russia? Why is India? Because they’re xenophobic. They don’t want immigrants,” Biden said, according to an official White House transcript released Thursday.
Our GDP growth is 1.9%. Japan is at 1.0%. India’s is 7.2%. China’s is 3.0%.
I wouldn’t brag about being ahead of Japan considering that we’re neck and neck with Burkina Faso and South Africa and lagging much of the world.
Opening up your borders to every invader who wants to cash in on your welfare state is not a plan for economic growth. As the mayors of NYC, Denver, and Chicago have been explaining to Open Borders Joe.
India is a net exporter of immigrants to this country so arguing that it needs immigrants is a confusing thesis. All of the above countries do have declining birth rates and that is bad news, but the solution to that is raising birth rates, not bringing in millions of illegal aliens to loot your cities, as Biden has done.

“All of the above countries do have declining birth rates and that is bad news, but the solution to that is raising birth rates, not bringing in millions of illegal aliens to loot your cities, as Biden has done.”
What difference does it make if my earnings are looted by Joe Biden to support an illegal alien’s children or if Joe Biden loots my earnings to support a natural born citizen’s children? Either way I’m getting robbed by altruism-socialism!
“Virginia Democrats are backing a bill that would extend taxpayer-paid healthcare to illegal immigrants. Not surprisingly, Republicans are objecting to the bill, but they won’t challenge the morality that underlies it–altruism. One state Senator said,
“They want to grant illegal immigrants driver’s licenses that are valid for up to eight years. Now, they’re also working to divert limited resources from low-income Virginians to pay for healthcare for illegal immigrants.”
The Senator believes that it is acceptable for taxpayers to pay for the healthcare of low-income Virginians, but not the healthcare of illegal immigrants. In other words, it’s proper for Virginians to rob their neighbors, but it’s not acceptable for those damn immigrants to do so. It doesn’t occur to the Senator that robbery is wrong, no matter who commits it. And the reason for his oversight is that he accepts altruism—service to others—as a moral ideal.
So long as one embraces altruism as a moral ideal, one is morally disarmed in opposing such bills. Altruism declares that we are our brother’s keeper, that we must place the welfare and interests of others before our own. The Senator doesn’t challenge this premise. He just resents the fact that more brothers are flocking to Virginia.” – Brian Phillips
Daniel Greenfield says
“What difference does it make if my earnings are looted by Joe Biden to support an illegal alien’s children or if Joe Biden loots my earnings to support a natural born citizen’s children?”
If you’re not invested in America as a nation state than indeed what difference does it make to your selfish needs.
THX 1138 says
Mr. Greenfield I’m very invested in America as a nation state for rationally selfish reasons. The question is what is a morally legitimate nation state and what is an immoral, illegitimate, evil nation state? What is the proper role of government in a free society?
Nazi Germany, Soviet Russia, Communist China, Cuba, Venezuela, North Korea, and Iran were/are nation states but they were/are totalitarian, evil nation states.
“The only proper purpose of a government is to protect man’s rights, which means: to protect him from physical violence. A proper government is only a policeman, acting as an agent of man’s self-defense, and, as such, may resort to force only against those who start the use of force. The only proper functions of a government are: the police, to protect you from criminals; the army, to protect you from foreign invaders; and the courts, to protect your property and contracts from breach or fraud by others, to settle disputes by rational rules, according to objective law. But a government that initiates the employment of force against men who had forced no one, the employment of armed compulsion against disarmed victims, is a nightmare infernal machine designed to annihilate morality: such a government reverses its only moral purpose and switches from the role of protector to the role of man’s deadliest enemy, from the role of policeman to the role of a criminal vested with the right to the wielding of violence against victims deprived of the right of self-defense. Such a government substitutes for morality the following rule of social conduct: you may do whatever you please to your neighbor, provided your gang is bigger than his….
We are not a capitalist system any longer: we are a mixed economy, i.e., a mixture of capitalism and statism, of freedom and controls. A mixed economy is a country in the process of disintegration, a civil war of pressure-groups looting and devouring one another.” – Ayn Rand
Kynarion Hellenis says
THX, you must watch the Tucker Carlson interview with Aleksandr Dugin on X:
He speaks of the evolution of the idea of radical individualism and how this has brought about all the decadence and existential dangers we now face.
You may not realize it, but your ideas about individualism hold the kernel of the destruction of all you hold dear.
World@70 says
So correct Mr. Greenfield, given the choice I’ll give my dollars to my neighbor not the illegal invader.
World@70 says
Sorry this landed in the wrong slot. It was a reply to DG.
Jeff Bargholz says
If you equate altruism with socialism, you’re a moron. If you don’t care about the government picking our pockets and handing our cash to illegal aliens, you don’t care about America.
So why do you live here?
Ehatt says
Gee Joe , Japan has always been that way . It is how they protected their culture and how they continue to do so dispite having had to come into the 20th and 21st century

Biden is Delusional as he is Senile he is not fit for the Job neither are any of the rest of the DNC fit either
Algorithmic Analyst says
On a tangent, the economic statistics the government is putting out for USA are unreliable currently, they are being tilted to favor Biden’s re-election. For example, I suspect inflation is higher than the official statistics show.
roberta says
”For example, I suspect inflation is higher than the official statistics show”……….”suspect”?
Do you also suspect Biden didnt get 81,000,000 votes? 🙂
Joking
Jeff Bargholz says
Whaaa? You mean we don’t really love Creepy Unca Joe?
Jeff Bargholz says
Oh, they’re all fake.
Even conservatives keep claiming prices have increased by 20 or 30%. You’re a mathematician. If things cost a minimum of double what they did under the golden years of Trump, is that a 20 or 30% increase? Gas used to cost $2.80 for unleaded and last time I filled up it was over $7. I must be really bad at math because that doesn’t seem like a 20 to 30% increase to me.
Hell, we have stagflation but few conservatives want to admit it for some reason.
People who went back to work after lockdowns aren’t new jobs created, they aren’t even current, and any real new jobs are in spite of the Beijing Biden administration, not because of it.
New government jobs are a drain on the economy and produce nothing. As if 87,000 new IRS agents or whatever is a boon to Americans.
And on and on. Government statistical claims are pure bullshit, especially with this corrupt and completely deceitful administration and Congress.
CowboyUp says
Gas has certainly been going up again over the last two months, and we still have the school’s out price spike coming.
I also question their unemployment and economic growth statistics. I think we’re actually in a recession, and they’re hiding it somehow. We’re below obama’s anemic but still fake statistics. Dems seem to think they aren’t bleeding the economy enough unless it’s hovering just above a recession.
roberta says
Good for the Japanese. Im honestly happy for them that they have the brains not to import problems.
I dont think I know one person that would be as upset over the economy, if crime, drug addict, schools, illegal immigration, and homelessness were not so bad.
There is a whole lot to be said for quality of life. Prosperity is more than just money.
Kasandra says
Biden is an imbecile. If the people he’s letting in by the millions are so good and productive why are the counties most of them come from such dungheaps?
Jeff Bargholz says
And why doesn’t he have them live next door to his mansions instead of flying them to red states like Florida?
CowboyUp says
Seems mean of dems to send almost all of them to to those backward, xenophobic, racist, oppressive, exploitive, hateful conservative states, instead of the enlightened, welcoming, multi-culti, anti-racist, freedon-loving, egalitarian, ‘progressive’ states, like his.
SPURWING PLOVER says
Japan has a good idea here lets send Biden to be the Next Test Dummy for Open Boders and a Dictatorship
MuggsSpongedice says
Fact is we’re getting the worst of the worst flooding our southern border and probably every border of USA. Dirt-Bag, lying, crooked, treasonous Joe Briben is so demonic possessed by his pathological sociological demonic lies over his lifetime. Biden’s dementia is caused by his life long lies where he blew his mind on which lie goes to what incident so now the governor of his lies is off and the son-of-a-satanic-byatch just pours out streams of lies and no one calls him out. No dirtbago-ocrat or RINO only a few squeaky voiced watered down decaffeinated Republicans. All of CONgrASS is compromised. Majority are on the take. Arizona has become a microcosm of what is going on the national scene. We are in a global coup d’etat without firing a single shot. FIrst salvo was the pLandemic, the cinching salvo was the rigging and stealing of the 2020 election and the 2022 election in Arizona. This global coup is also how the so-called Biblical end times prophecies are coming to pass! If we do not get President Trump back into office by overwhelming the numbers in the 11-5-2024 election, to stave off the global agenda, which includes antisemitic genocide, the USA as we have enjoyed and thrived is done!!!!!!! Shabbat Shalom

DG: “the solution to that is raising birth rates”
Something “abortion on demand” doesn’t help at all.
DetroitOtaku says
The only way to raise birth rates is to throw the New Deal, Great Society, Obamacare and the 16th Amendment in the trash bin of history, where they belong.
Also: the 16th Amendment wasn’t even legally ratified to begin with.
I support the same tax policy as Thomas Jefferson:
The abolition of all inland taxes and making a return to funding the government through tariffs.
