To President Trump!
July 10, 2026【Today's Proposal】If the U.S. accommodates illegal immigrants as low-wage workers within border "Special Zones," labor costs will drop below those of China, triggering a dramatic resurgence of manufacturing in the U.S. This will gener-ate "manufacturing money" on the scale of 100 trillion yen annually and lead to a full-scale revival of labor-intensive industries such as apparel and shipbuilding. This is the ultimate survival strategy for reclaiming America's status as a manufacturing powerhouse. (Yasuhiro Nagano)
1.【Reversal of Cost Structures】Once a dramatic reversal of costs occurs where U.S. wages fall below those of China, labor-intensive industries will explosively return to the domestic market. Apparel, electronics assembly, and daily goods manufacturing—industries that once flowed overseas—will breathe new life in the U.S. (Yasuhiro Na-gano)
2.【Massive Job Creation】The workforce required by this resurgence would reach a scale of 2 to 4 million people. To reclaim its position as a manufacturing powerhouse, the U.S. must be prepared as a nation to accept these workers and maintain the manufacturing floor. (Yasuhiro Nagano)
3.【Industries Not Included】Capital-intensive and technology-intensive industries like semiconductors, aerospace, and biopharmaceuticals are not the targets of this initiative. Since these industries already have a low ratio of labor costs and prioritize advanced equipment, AI, and expert quality, they should be maintained with conven-tional high-level strategies. (Yasuhiro Nagano)
4.【Robots vs. Humans】The U.S. is currently attempting to bring manufacturing back through factory automation. However, if wages themselves become lower than in China, employing humans becomes cheaper than automation, leading to a dynam-ic reversal where the U.S. reclaims its role as the "factory of the world" from the 1980s and 90s. (Yasuhiro Nagano)
5.【Dynamic Reversal】My "Special Zone" concept proposes accepting illegal immi-grants at the border on a limited basis and employing them as low-wage workers. This will allow the U.S. to acquire overwhelming price competitiveness that goes be-yond automation. (Yasuhiro Nagano)
6.【Ensuring Segregation】Immigrants employed in the "Special Zones" will be lim-ited to those areas. Therefore, they will not mix with the general American public in the workplace, minimizing social friction while ensuring that the U.S. receives the economic benefits. (Yasuhiro Nagano)
7.【Revival of the Giant Market】The total production value of revived manufacturing is estimated to reach 600 to 700 billion dollars (approx. 90 to 105 trillion yen) annu-ally. This means "manufacturing money" equivalent to Japan’s current national budg-et will be circulating within the U.S. (Yasuhiro Nagano)
8.【Restoration of Shipbuilding】Furthermore, heavy industries like shipbuilding and welding, which are often avoided by young people today, will be revitalized. These industries are the backbone that supports America’s national defense and industrial foundation. (Yasuhiro Nagano)
9.【Revival of Specific Sectors】Industries that could not be maintained due to high costs—such as rare metal refining, food processing, and mass-scale sewing—can be-come domestically viable by utilizing low-wage labor in Special Zones, allowing them to compete with China and Southeast Asia. (Yasuhiro Nagano)
10.【Why Not Adopt It?】I have repeatedly proposed maintaining these sectors using low-wage labor from "illegal (provisional) immigrants" in "Special Zones." Why do Americans not adopt my proposal? (Yasuhiro Nagano)
11.【Benefits to Citizens】Americans do not need to marry, befriend, or work along-side these "illegal immigrants." Americans will become wealthy simply by having them work in the "Special Zones." (Yasuhiro Nagano)
12.【Power of Manufacturing Money】This "manufacturing money" will become the nation’s new engine, replacing oil money. Building the physical infrastructure of these Special Zones alone will set the U.S. economy on an explosive growth trajectory, wip-ing out decades of decline. (Yasuhiro Nagano)
13.【A Choice Looking to the Future】The U.S. does not need to make the agonizing decision to lower wages across the board. It only needs to adopt the wise strategy of changing labor market rules within limited border areas. This is the shortest path to reviving manufacturing. (Yasuhiro Nagano)
14.【National Competitiveness】If all labor-intensive industries are revived domesti-cally, the U.S. will shed its identity as a mere consumer nation and transform back into a production nation. Placing itself at the center of the global supply chain also carries decisive significance for national security. (Yasuhiro Nagano)
15.【Completion of the Proposal】I am presenting this concept as the only realistic answer for protecting American prosperity. Building "Special Zones" that effectively utilize illegal immigrants is the key to passing the American Dream on to the next generation. (Yasuhiro Nagano)

Part 2: The Immigration Control Act Violation Case [Weekday Edition]
Japan’s judicial system and immigration administration involve severe human rights violations that challenge international standards. Through my own experience, I strongly question Japan's status as a constitutional state governed by the rule of law.
Please first read how I was wrongfully implicated in a case of "Aiding and Abetting the Violation of the Immigration Control Act" in 2010.

[Chapter 1] Case Overview
Autumn 2008: My company (where I serve as President) executed an employment contract with Chinese students holding student visas, promising to hire them upon their university graduation the following spring.
Late 2008: The Lehman Brothers bankruptcy triggered a global financial crisis, resulting in the abrupt cancellation of our upcoming system development projects.
2009: Due to the severe economic downturn, we were forced to rescind the job offers. Consequently, the graduated students had no choice but to continue working at the restaurants where they had been employed part-time during their studies.
May 2010: These former Chinese students were arrested for "Activities Other Than Those Permitted Under the Status of Residence" (Violation of Article 70 of the Immigration Control Act).
June 2010: I and our Chinese recruitment manager were also arrested. The charge brought against us was "Aiding and Abetting" (under the Penal Code) their unauthorized technical employment.
The Prosecution’s Logic: The prosecution asserted that our prior issuance of the employment contract constituted a "false document," which subsequently aided their unauthorized work.
[Chapter 2] Fatal Flaws in Judicial Interpretation
This indictment and subsequent judgment completely disregard fundamental legal principles, relying on an entirely arbitrary interpretation of the law.
Under Article 22-4, Paragraph 1, Item 4 of the Immigration Control Act at that time, submitting false documents merely granted the Minister of Justice the authority to revoke a residency status as an administrative disposition (leading to deportation). The act of submitting false documents itself was not codified as a criminal offense. Logically, one cannot be convicted of "aiding and abetting" an act that is not a crime in itself.
The court’s reasoning followed a convoluted chain of causality:
A residency status was obtained via a false employment contract.
The individuals resided in Japan based on that status.
Consequently, they engaged in unauthorized part-time work.
Therefore, the issuer of the initial contract aided and abetted the unauthorized work.
This is a far-fetched, flawed causal link that completely violates the principles of modern legal logic.
[My Argument]
Confusion of Administrative Dispositions and Criminal Penalties: The Immigration Control Act explicitly designates the consequences for false documentation as administrative measures (revocation of status and deportation). The legal process concludes there.
Absence of a Principal Offender: The actual employers of the restaurants where the students worked were never prosecuted for "Encouraging Illegal Employment" (Article 73-2 of the Immigration Control Act). Under the principle of equality under the law, it is a legal contradiction to punish us for aiding and abetting when the principal employers themselves were not prosecuted.
This same flawed legal doctrine was later improperly applied to diplomats and embassy staff.

Part 3: A New Business Model via Special Economic Zones
I propose the establishment of "Special Economic Zones" designed to accept refugees and migrants as "temporary migrant workers," with their residency restricted to these designated zones.
This framework offers a dual benefit: advanced nations secure low-cost labor to drive economic growth, while migrants receive human dignity, secure jobs, and free access to housing, food, healthcare, and education.
