Debate: Japan should significantly relax its immigrants immigration policies
Thank you ladies and gentlemen for coming.
(Is this a speech? I'm going to edit it as some sort of speech)
Today we are debating on the topic that Japan should significantly relax it's immigrant immigration policies.
We, on the negative side, are strongly disagree with this opinion for two reasons.
The first thing to consider is education. According to Professor Asakawa in Nagoya University, it is really hard to educate immigrants to fit into Japanese society. In order to work abroad, immigrants are required to understand not only language but also cultures and customs. However, currently in Japan, schools or teachers to that teach Japanese cultures or language to immigrants is are lacking.
Moreover, the Japanese language is really hard to master for foreigners. In most of the successful countries in accepting immigrants like Europe, or Australia or and the United States, people speak English or the and similar languages so it doesn't take that long to understand Japanese, language, but even if the Japanese language is totally different from any of the other languages.
Also, unlike Japan, there are a lot of opportunities to learn languages in those countries. Therefore, it is dangerous to accept a lot of immigrants since the education system for them has yet to be prepared enough.
Our second point is crime rate. If Japan significantly relax its immigrants policies, those who were not skilled or illegal immigrants will be increased. This may lead to the increase the in crime rates. According to a crime expert ピーター・キャフリー in 2014, the crime rate in Britain has increased by 70 times after they started accepting a lot of immigrants.
It is true that we cannot can not say deny that it will happen in Japan, but we also cannot can not say deny that it won't happen.
(If this is a debate you shouldn't weaken your position by saying this)
So in conclusion, Japan should not significantly relax its immigrants policies because of the lack of education system and the probability of increase in the crime rates.
Your writing is very good.
Although idea wise, you're ideas are very weak.
For example, Are you saying it's hard to learn the language but it's better to learn the language in those countries than in Japan?
I don't think ANYONE would agree with this. As a Japanese learner myself, I can say confidently that Japanese learners would be better of to study Japanese in Japan than in their home country.
Your point on crime is good though.
Just a suggestion but instead of your first point you can talk about the other countries (mostly the third world countries) that want to immigrate into Japan because of political reasons or they just don't like their current country's position in the world. These people don't neccessarily want to immigrate to Japan, they just want to immigrate to another country to escaspe their own country. You could say something about how it is hard to determine these type of people, and the dangers that these people would cause to Japan. (They will never consider Japan as their home, might never have the efforts of learning Japanese, integrating with Japanese society and culture, rather as an escape "hideout" and they might have intentions of immigrating to another country or when their country's status is sastificatory to them, they'll return to their previous country.
Then add something to your crime paragraph about how these people might increase crime since they don't care for Japan as a country.
