Japan is routinely censured for many of their xenophobic policies. The
Americans are currently toe-to-toe with them over their closed markets.
Ask around the Pacific about the Japanese... 

And while Japan *may* not allow immigration (I have no knowledge of their
immigration policy) they certainly *do* import labor. The place is
brimming with Korean workers, Phillipino nannies, and American strippers.
I would hardly call it an admirable thing that they don't grant permanent
residence to these imported people (if that is in fact the case).

And as for the assertion that they have "UNBELIEVEABLE harmony", all I can
say is PAH! Horsefeathers!
