Having an open immigration toward Japan will not cause an outflux immediately, but it will provide Japanese with a chance to vote with their feet. I think nationalism may have played a big role in the past, but I think as we become more global it will play a much smaller role in the future. It's your choice to be shameful, but I see no reasons for it. We are all humans and have the right to pursue our own happiness as we see it. As China opens up, its society will eventually become more comparable to the US and more students will go home for many reasons other than nationality. One of my Chinese friends chose to go back and his reason had nothing to do with nationality. IMO, only in war we need uniformity. In peace we need diversity and tolerance. Everything else being equal, the open system in the US will keep it shine for many centuries to come. (We may even live to see that wrt the new discovery of the aging process. Oops, I just brought up another new issue with our social security system.) -Al
