To President Trump!
2025-04-03: Weekday edition,
US President Trump said there would be no exceptions to the steel and aluminum tariffs. This is great. But if Nippon Steel builds a "steel mill" in the "special zone on the Mexican border," existing steel mills in the U.S. will go bankrupt.
The U.S. Department of Justice has requested a postponement of the trial date for Nippon Steel's "purchase of U.S. Steel." This is President Trump's "last chance." The Trump administration should settle with Nippon Steel.
Only Nippon Steel can beat China's steel industry. In discussions with the Trump administration, Nippon Steel claims that the current acquisition plan to make the company a subsidiary is the starting point.
President Trump has suggested that if Nippon Steel's stake is less than 50%, it won't be a big problem. President Trump should increase Nippon Steel's investment in U.S. Steel to "more than 51%" as a "settlement proposal."
And Trump should make a deal with Nippon Steel to make U.S. Steel a "world-class steel mill." It will be a nearly unmanned factory. But Nippon Steel will not lay off employees.
To make "US Steel" a world-class steel mill, it needs to be able to compete with Chinese steel mills in quality and price. Trump says that the United States does not have such steel mills, so he will protect them with tariffs.
With tariffs, American steel can beat imported steel products in product price, but not in quality. Steel products that cannot be produced in the United States must be imported at a high price.
The Biden administration sold a shipyard that manufactures warships important to national security to South Korea. The Trump administration should condemn the Biden administration for its treasonous actions.
If the US government does not approve Nippon Steel's acquisition of "US Steel", Nippon Steel will build a new steel mill on its own in the United States. It will be located in a "special zone on the Mexican border".
Nippon Steel will hire "low-wage workers" at the new steel mill. And American workers will hire workers who are not members of the United Steelworkers union.
If Nippon Steel builds a state-of-the-art steel mill in the Mexican border special zone, America's existing steel mills will lose out in price and quality to Nippon Steel's products. They will go bankrupt one after another. Mass unemployment will occur.
If Nippon Steel builds a steel mill in the Mexican border special zone, the people who will be in trouble are the senators and congressmen who have the Rust Belt as their electoral base.
Many of their supporters are unemployed. There is no way they will vote for the Republican Party. President Trump should protect the senators and congressmen for the Republican Party.
President Trump should have Nippon Steel "buy" US Steel. And US Steel should protect the Rust Belt and the US steel industry and workers. Good luck, President Trump.

Part 2. "Immigration Control Act Violation Cases" "Weekday Edition".
"Everyone" in the "international community" please help!
First, please read about the "false accusation" of "aiding and abetting violation of immigration law" in 2010.
"Chapter 1". The summary of the incident is as follows.
In the fall of 2008, my company (I am the president) promised to hire "Chinese people studying abroad on student visas". I "issued" them "employment contracts" stating that "LEFCO" would "employ" them when they graduated from university the following spring.
However, after that, the "Lehman Shock" occurred in 2008.
As a result, orders for "system development" from the following year onwards were "cancelled".
As a result, "LEFCO" "cancelled" the "employment" of "those who were scheduled to join the company" in 2009.
Therefore, "they" continued to work at the restaurants where they had worked part-time as students even after graduating in 2009.
In May 2010, the Chinese were arrested for "violating Article 70 of the Immigration Control Act" by "activities outside of the status of residence".
In June 2010, after their arrest, I and the Chinese person in charge of recruitment (KingGungaku) were also arrested.
The reason was "crime of aiding and abetting" the Chinese for "violating Article 70 of the Immigration Control Act (activities outside the status of residence)".
<Reason for arrest> The prosecution said that I and KingGungaku giving the Chinese a "false employment contract" constituted "crime of aiding and abetting" under the Criminal Code.
"Chapter 2". Crimes in the judgment: (arbitrary and ridiculous)
The charges in the indictment are "the very provisions" of "Article 22-4-4 of the Immigration Control Act".
If a "status of residence" is obtained by submitting false documents, the Minister of Justice can revoke the "status of residence" at his "discretion". (And the person will be deported).
Therefore, even if a Chinese person submits "false documents," it is not a crime. It is not a crime to "aid" an innocent act.
The "reason for punishment" in the judgment:
1. The Chinese person obtained "resident status" by submitting a "false employment contract."
2. And they violated the Immigration Control Act (activities outside of their status of residence).
3. The Chinese person obtained "resident status" because "we" provided the Chinese person with a "false employment contract."
4. The Chinese person was able to "reside" in Japan because he obtained "resident status."
5. Because of that, the Chinese person was able to "work illegally."
6. Therefore, "we" who "provided" the Chinese person with a "false employment contract" were punished for "aiding" the Chinese person's "activities outside of their status of residence."
This is an "error" in the arbitrary "logic of law."
This reasoning is the "argument" that "when the wind blows, the barrel maker (profits)." This goes against "legal logic" even internationally.
The "criminal reason" in the indictment cannot be a crime because the provisions of the "Immigration Control Act," which is a "special law," take precedence over the "Criminal Code," which is a "general law."
My argument:
"1": The Immigration Control Act stipulates that the Minister of Justice will revoke the act of a foreigner who has obtained a residence status by submitting false documents (Immigration Control Act: Article 22-4-4, cancellation of residence status) through "administrative disposition." That's all.
"2": The Chinese who engaged in "unqualified work activities" are not guilty. The reason is that their "employers" have not been punished for the "crime of aiding and abetting illegal employment" under Article 73-2 of the Immigration Control Act.
Therefore, under the principle of "equality under the law," the Chinese are not guilty.
The Japanese government has punished "diplomats and Philippine embassy staff" for the exact same "criminal reason."
However, like the Chinese government, the Philippine government is also silent.
The rest will be published in the Saturday edition.
Part 3. Special Zone Construction. A new business model.
Special Zones accept refugees and immigrants as temporary immigrant workers and limit their residence to the special zone.
Developed countries use them as low-wage workers and achieve high economic growth again.
Refugees and immigrants can get jobs and live a hopeful, humane life.
Temporary immigrants are low-wage, but "food, clothing, shelter, medical expenses, and education are free."
