A roundtable discussion was held with foreigners involved.

On March 2, 2019, a seminar entitled "In preparation for the new acceptance of foreigners - non-residents" was held at the Itabashi City Green Hall.
We held a roundtable discussion titled "Asking the Japanese People About the Current State of Acceptance in Japan."

In order to understand foreign residents working in various positions, we interviewed Chakradhar, a company manager,
Mr. Li, who works in software development at a company, and Mr. Maung Ra Thet, a former technical intern at a construction company.
We invited three of them to talk about their experiences.
The difficulties of working and communicating with colleagues in a completely different environment
There are problems with renewing residence status, and wages are still outstanding for technical intern training.
Recently, she has been constantly updating her friends who live in other countries through social media.
He also mentioned that they are increasingly comparing the situation in Japan with that in other countries.
In particular, for people from Asian countries with remarkable economic growth, the salary level is different from that in Japan.
The gap is narrowing, so it's not just salary that determines whether a place is suitable for living or working.
It was pointed out that this is important when choosing a country.

Next, APFS representative Yoshida spoke about the April revision of the Immigration Control Act and the government's handling of irregular residents.
A detailed explanation was given based on documents and statistics. Among the irregular residents, the following were affected by the revision of the Immigration Control Act:
There is speculation that this will make it easier to obtain special permission to stay in Japan, but in reality,
It was shown that the number of permits issued has dropped significantly due to opposition.
The number of people being detained for long periods in detention facilities is increasing.
APFS will not tolerate this situation by simply ignoring it, but will work to resolve the issue through the Ministry of Justice.
The government is considering submitting a proposal to the government before accepting new foreign workers.
We plan to appeal for the legalization of undocumented immigrants who are deeply rooted in our society.

There are many unpredictable aspects of the impact of the April Immigration Law revision, but according to the people involved,
We will continue to work with the principle of listening first.
