The program provoked some outraged viewer reactions and insights about the plight faced by visa overstayers and undocumented migrants in Japan.  Taikyo no Shunkan (\u30bf\u30a4\u30ad\u30e7\u306e\u77ac\u9593) (English translation: \u201cAt the Very Moment They Were Deported\u201d) premiered on Fuji Television in a Saturday evening prime time slot on October 6, 2018.<\/p>\n<p>Using a typical reality show format, the two-hour program follows a group of so-called \u201cG-Men\u201d, or immigration officers, employed by the Tokyo regional office of the National Immigration Bureau as they hunt down visa overstayers and so-called \u201cillegal aliens\u201d (fuhotaizaisha,\u00a0\u4e0d\u6cd5\u6ede\u5728\u8005) and squatters (fuhosenshu, \u4e0d\u6cd5\u5360\u6709) on camera.  In one segment, the immigration officers stake out the apartment\u00a0of a Vietnamese man suspected of violating the conditions of his trainee visa. He and two others are arrested and interrogated on camera before being deported 24 hours later.<\/p>\n<p>COMMENT: \u00a0Debito.org has focussed on this kind of programming before. \u00a0Consider this segment from a larger archive of broadcast media bashing NJ as terrorists and criminals, a phenomenon that gained political traction as former Tokyo Gov. Ishihara fanned the flames of xenophobia starting from around 2000. \u00a0Not to mention the racist and propagandistic &#8220;Gaijin Hanzai&#8221; magazine (2007) that also seemed to be made with the cooperation of the Japanese authorities.    <\/p>\n<p>In the end, will there be any retractions, apologies for stereotyping, or even acknowledgments and caveats that NJ do good things in Japan too? \u00a0As book Embedded Racism points out in Ch. 7, not likely. \u00a0After all, NJ have so little right-of-reply in Japan&#8217;s media that\u00a0bashing and blaming NJ for just about anything has long been\u00a0normalized in Japan&#8217;s media.
