The Japanese government came under fire today (Jan. 23) after officials revealed that the country rejected 99% of the refugees who sought asylum last year, the Japan Times reported.

A record number of applicants—7,586—applied for refugee status in 2015, and just 27 were granted it, the Justice Ministry said on Friday (Jan. 22). That is actually an increase from the year before, when just 11 refugees were accepted.

The number of applicants seeking refugee status in Japan jumped 50% from 2014, highlighting the world’s growing refugee crisis. A majority of the refugees who sought asylum hailed from other Asian countries like Nepal, Indonesia, Turkey, and Myanmar.

Notably, just five applicants were from war-torn Syria, and three of them were accepted. However, that number looks puny in the context of the 4 million Syrians who have fled the Middle Eastern nation for Europe and other regions in recent years.

Elsewhere in 2015, the US resettled 69,933 refugees but did not reveal how many applied for refugee status. Israel began turning away refugees, saying that it was too small of a nation to house them. And in Turkey, which is home to one of the largest refugee populations in the world, the number of refugees and asylum-seekers is expected to rise to 1.9 million.

Good, America and Europe needs to follow Japan's lead.


Where's the uproar over Israel not accepting any?

Japan is a well known very conservative country and their currently government is a very conservative one, even according to japanese standarts.

Comparing western culture to japanese culture is wrong. For instance, il Japan, Sarah and Bristol Palin would have both commit suicide over the disgrace of the révélation in the medias of Bristol being pregnant out of wedlock despite the fact that both Sarah and Bristol are advocates of sexual abstinence before wedding

And Hillary Clinton would've done the honorable thing and committed seppuku by now.

I think you might be exaggerating things about Japan, Johan. It could be that they're simply not stupid and have eyes to see what has happened in Europe already. And there's countries in Europe who have said FTS to the refugee wave too.

I like diversity as long as it doesn't bring trouble or is an overall drain on our society. Being more Homogeneous has worked for Japan and I don't blame them for saying no to Muslim refugees. If anyone should be responsible for taking them it's the Sunni Arab countries who fund the terrorists and started all this Wahhabi crapola.

I agree with you. Being cautious of who you allow into your country having concern for the safety of your own people is smart. Allowing in those from a culture known for intolerance who have earned a reputation for horrible treatment of women all in the sake of political correctness is what's foolish.

You are not morally superior if you willingly turn a blind eye to your nation spiraling down the toilet.

Self suicide or etno masohism
You need to know the background of who you help, helping someone in need is ok, but helping someone who wants to kill you, it's dumbness. we really really need to check who is coming to europe
