Now foreigners can enter Japan if they have a particular passport, but from Nov 20th, every foreigner has to be fingerprinted and photographed to enter Japan, which was adopted by Japanese justice ministry.
There are two reasons for the scheme from Japanese view of point, to prevent international terrorist activities, and to prevent the re-entry to Japan of deported and other aliens banned from entry.
Against this scheme some, especially foreigners, say it’s discriminatory and neglect of privacy against foreigners.
From foreigners it looks discriminatory, since they have to take this audit without reserve (There are few exceptions though.). But it’s not discriminatory from Japanese. By carrying out this scheme we can get more relief toward foreigners. Who can let unknown person enter your house without checking? It doesn’t mean denying the people, but we have to check to know if the person is safe enough to enter your house.
This is the responce to the article,"Not so welcome to Japan any longer" by Kevin Rafferty.
