Also...loosen immigration laws?
I know it's a very closed off nation with deep cultural roots that is very weary of outsiders...

Now this is a racist idea I can agree with.
(Although, I actually bet aliens are shit as well at the equivalent stage of development)
I know... 😔
Additionally, the word is "wary"
