\nHi Blog. \u00a0Here’s an article from the Mainichi courtesy of MS talking about making life easier for NJ through “one-stop centers”, noting (in a poorly-translated paragraph) that Newcomer Permanent Residents now outnumber the historical Zainichi Oldcomer Permanent Residents. \u00a0And have done since 2007.<\/p>\n

See I told you so.<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n

Anyway, the article follows. \u00a0Believe Immigration’s plausibly pleasant intentions if you like, but I’ll remain a little skeptical for the moment. \u00a0Still mentioned is that hackneyed and ludicrous concern about garbage separation, after all, demonstrating that the GOJ is still dealing in trivialities; it might take a little while before the government sees what true assimilation actually means. \u00a0It’s not just giving information to NJ. \u00a0It’s also raising awareness amongst the Japanese public about why NJ are here in the first place. \u00a0Arudou Debito in Kumamoto<\/p>\n

Gov’t to set up ‘One Stop Centers’ for foreigners<\/h2>\n

Mainichi Shinbun March 30, 2009<\/strong><\/p>\n

With more and more foreign residents facing employment and immigration problems due to the ongoing recession, the Ministry of Justice is creating new “One Stop Centers” for foreign residents in the Kanto and Tokai regions to handle queries in one place.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

Until now, these issues were handled separately by local governments and regional immigration bureaus, but the three centers — to be set up in Tokyo, Saitama and Hamamatsu in Shizuoka Prefecture — will be open for consultations on all matters pertaining to foreign residents in the country, in an attempt to better integrate them into Japanese society.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

“The immigration bureau is not just about exposing illegal residents, it’s now at a turning point where it can work toward creating a society where Japanese people and foreigners can live in harmony,” said an Immigration Bureau official.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

The number of native and Japan-born Koreans with special permanent residency, who have lived in Japan since the pre-war period, has been declining. However, the number of Chinese and Filipinos, as well as foreigners of Japanese descent whose employment was liberalized under the 1990 revision to the Law on Immigration Control and Refugee Recognition, has surged. In 2007, the number of these so-called “new comers” exceeded that of special permanent residents for the first time (440,000 vs. 430,000).<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

As a result, there are fears that the number of children unable to speak Japanese, and of foreigners unable to fit into society, is also on the rise.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

The centers will be staffed by local government and former immigration bureau employees, and will cover everything from residency procedures to how to correctly separate garbage.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

The Hamamatsu center will open in April.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n
