Surprisingly, Japan is a resource poor island, in the Pacific Ocean. They don't have any official immigration, and are the envy of the modern Industrial World. No Non-Green card Indians, no illegal aliens, and not 850,000 of the third world immigrating each year, and they still compete with the best of them. Tell that to Albania - the problem ain't with their immigration policy. Received on Mon Nov 28 1994 - 07:42:14 CET
