The president made the remark while arguing that Japan, along with Russia and China, would perform better economically if the countries embraced immigration more.

Oh, well that's true enough. Japan is crazy anti immigration despite that being a solution to their low birth rate.

Yeah but then they'd have ethnically mixed nationally Japanese people, and they don't want that (especially considering they've intentionally done it to other countries they've occupied and colonized as a form of Japanization, like Korea).
