このブログで政治や社会に関することを書かないようにしていますが、これを読んで本当に腹立ちました。
国に帰ってもらうために、日本は外国人（特に中南米出身の日系の方）にお金を払っています。ただ、国に帰った方は二度と日本に戻れません。何の罪もないのに。
これは一応景気対策として行われていることだと言われていますが、おかしいと思いません？
僕の勘違いだったら教えてください。

Officials in Hamamatsu, an industrial town in central Japan, describe the plan to encourage Latin American guest workers, who are descendants of Japanese emigrants, to return home.

Rita Yamaoka, a mother of three who immigrated from Brazil, recently lost her factory job here. Now, Japan has made her an offer she might not be able to refuse.

The government will pay thousands of dollars to fly Mrs. Yamaoka; her husband, who is a Brazilian citizen of Japanese descent; and their family back to Brazil. But in exchange, Mrs. Yamaoka and her husband must agree never to seek to work in Japan again.

Japan’s offer, extended to hundreds of thousands of blue-collar Latin American immigrants, is part of a new drive to encourage them to leave this recession-racked country. So far, at least 100 workers and their families have agreed to leave, Japanese officials said.

But critics denounce the program as shortsighted, inhumane and a threat to what little progress Japan has made in opening its economy to foreign workers.
