 To President Trump!

Weekday Edition, May 23, 2025

Companies that are "building and expanding" factories in the United States based on the "Trump policy" are struggling with the "Trump tariffs". This is because the import of "Chinese products such as machinery" used in the construction and ex-pansion of factories is subject to "high tariffs".

Particularly serious are manufacturers that import machinery from China and aim to set up and expand production facilities in the United States. This is an "ironic phe-nomenon".

More than 80 companies have submitted more than 1,100 applications for tariff ex-emptions, pleading to realize their industrial plans in the United States through the import of Chinese-made machinery. President Trump should make exceptions.

Applicants range from large companies such as Tesla, Ford Motor, and Hitachi sub-sidiaries to a small business in Ohio that deals in industrial sewing machines.

The large number of exemption applications indicates widespread dissatisfaction with tariffs. The administration also recognizes the need for preferential treatment and tariff exemptions for manufacturers. Exceptions should be made carefully and promptly.

Treasury Secretary Bessent has proposed tax incentives that would allow the full cost of buildings and facilities built in the United States to be deducted, but the ef-fectiveness of these incentives could be eroded if tariffs are imposed on imported machinery.

For more details, see the URL in "Part 1." Until recently, the Trump administration publicly rejected even the idea of relaxing tariffs, but the Trump administration is now in a situation where it has no choice but to relax tariffs on China.

China is now the world's factory. That's why China produces the most advanced machines that make products. There are almost no advanced machine production factories in the United States. The U.S. government has finally realized.

That's why I have proposed to make Detroit, which is in the Rust Belt, a city of "re-search and development and production" of "robots (machine tools)." Detroit should become a cutting-edge machine production base.

I am proposing to "accept" illegal immigrants as "temporary immigrants" in the "Mexico Border Special Zone" and employ them as "low-wage workers" at wages lower than in China. We can't lose this!

In addition, I am also proposing to introduce cutting-edge "production equipment." The latest equipment is an AI robot (machine tool) produced in the Rust Belt.

Cutting-edge steel is needed to manufacture machine tools. That is why I am pro-moting the acquisition of US Steel by Nippon Steel, which has cutting-edge steelmaking technology.

Steelmaking is made to order for each individual product. Steel products with ad-justed components are needed according to the product's use. It seems that many people still do not understand this. It's a shame.

With good steel, we can make high-performance machines. High-performance ma-chines are needed to make high-performance products. The Rust Belt should be transformed into a steel complex.

The Trump administration has just begun the fight to bring manufacturing back to the United States. Currently, there is nothing in the United States. All we have is a consumer market. Machines are needed to make products.

The Trump administration has realized that there is something that manufacturing needs. It is not too late. To revive manufacturing, we need good steel and good machines.

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.

❤Click below to read the full article!

https://toworldmedia.blogspot.com/

"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."
