I would expect Japan to allow more laborers into the country on a temporary worker visa basis. There would be no "second generation."
But yes, if there were a second generation, then you are completely correct.

UHHH.. I am gonna assume you meant to quote me on this one.
Yes, I do remember Brazilians getting paid to leave, and not come back. Kind of sad in my opinion. But I guess it is true that there are probably many conservative Japanese politicians that feel it is their duty to keep the Japanese race "pure".
It will be interesting to see how Japan chooses to deal with it's population issues over the next few decades. Will progressive thinkers win out completely someday, or will the remnant attitudes passed down from grandfather to grandson from Japan's darker times continue to have their say policy making??
