Why can’t Japan be more like America and open itself up to every single invader with a plane ticket?
President Joe Biden on Wednesday called close US ally Japan “xenophobic” at a Washington, D.C., fundraiser, just weeks after lauding the US-Japan alliance at a state dinner.
The president made the remark at the off-camera event while arguing that Japan, along with India, Russia and China, would perform better economically if the countries embraced immigration more.
“You know, one of the reasons why our economy is growing is because of you and many others. Why? Because we welcome immigrants. We look to – the reason – look, think about it – why is China stalling so badly economically? Why is Japan having trouble? Why is Russia? Why is India? Because they’re xenophobic. They don’t want immigrants,” Biden said, according to an official White House transcript released Thursday.
Our GDP growth is 1.9%. Japan is at 1.0%. India’s is 7.2%. China’s is 3.0%.
I wouldn’t brag about being ahead of Japan considering that we’re neck and neck with Burkina Faso and South Africa and lagging much of the world.
Opening up your borders to every invader who wants to cash in on your welfare state is not a plan for economic growth. As the mayors of NYC, Denver, and Chicago have been explaining to Open Borders Joe.
India is a net exporter of immigrants to this country so arguing that it needs immigrants is a confusing thesis. All of the above countries do have declining birth rates and that is bad news, but the solution to that is raising birth rates, not bringing in millions of illegal aliens to loot your cities, as Biden has done.
