Didn’t they have a program a few years ago inviting foreigners to come and have (effectively) anchor babies?

That doesn’t seem right. Japan is very conservative of its “genealogy” and would treat “halfus” very differently than people who look Japanese regardless of mastery of the language. They also have strict immigration laws because, they don’t view immigration as a positive. It would be a threat to their homogeneous culture and society.

Yeah, I was looking around and I couldn’t find anything about an actual program which makes me think it may have been just a comment someone made suggesting something like that. I do remember thinking at the time that Japan is rather unwelcoming to immigration by non-Japanese people so there would have to be a major shift in culture to allow that kind of thing.

Also, it wouldn’t help much: birth rates in immigrant families drop to the national average within 2 or 3 generations.

they do love westerners though, at least the well off ones.
