Appreciate the thoughtful reply—not something Twitter is well-suited for. Can’t speak for Jake, but I don’t think he chose the “must" sub-lede; regardless, I think it implies an “if Japan wants to keep the working-age population constant”...

That said, I certainly agree that how to handle immigration isn’t for outsiders to decide. Though I can also say that as an American, I have no problem with (in fact, I welcome) outsiders opining about America. Anyway, thanks again for the thoughtful response.

When I visited Tokyo, I hardly saw any cops at all. Japan is one hundred eleventh in the world when it comes to number of police per capita. Anyone who says that police in Japan are 'omnipresent' is either lying or just a damn fool. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_countries_and_dependencies_by_number_of_police_officers …

Agreed that what is behind low Japanese crime levels is a more complex topic than just the number of police. But hopefully we can still discuss the interesting and important question of what makes someone Japanese/American/Ethiopian etc…?
