 To President Trump!

May 19, 2026

The US trade deficit has been chronic since the mid-1970s, and rapidly expanded as a "twin deficit" under the Reagan administration in the 1980s. The current situation in the US is an "expected ending," and not solely President Trump's responsibility.

Previously, the US trade surplus was significant, but structural decline in manufactur-ing, a strong dollar, and increased reliance on imports led to a chronic deficit. The US must transform into a nation with "trade balance."

In the 1980s, the US, particularly California, manufactured computers and printed circuit boards at lower costs than Japan by employing "illegal immigrants" (I wit-nessed this firsthand).

At the factories I visited, most of the workers were "illegal immigrants." When I asked the factory manager, he said that even "illegal immigrants" could obtain "resi-dency" upon entering the US.

In other words, they were claiming they could work legally simply by entering the country. Police officers patrol the area, but their job is simply to instruct employers to educate newly hired "#illegal immigrants" about "#American traffic signs."

The first thing "#illegal immigrants" do after arriving in the country is find an empty lot and build a "#shoddy shack." Next, they go to a used car dealership and buy a "#used car" as a means of transportation.

The police's role is to educate employers about traffic signs to prevent "#illegal im-migrants" from causing traffic accidents and harming civilians.

I asked about the wages of "#illegal immigrants," but I wasn't given an exact amount. However, it was certainly lower than the wages of low-wage workers in Ja-pan. At the time, much of Japan's "#semiconductors" were being exported to the United States.

I was staying at the "#New Otani Hotel" across from the Los Angeles Police Depart-ment headquarters at the time. It was located south of "#Little Tokyo" and adjacent to a "#very dangerous area."

Trump claims that "#illegal immigrants" commit crimes. It was a terrifying experi-ence, but they seemed to be unemployed. However, I don't think they would hire someone who couldn't communicate.

During Trump's first term, his golf course company also employed undocumented immigrants, which was reported in the newspapers. According to the articles, the golf course company claimed ignorance.

I believe Trump's luxury golf courses still employ undocumented immigrants. Howev-er, the media doesn't report this. Perhaps it's because such articles are taboo.

I propose that Trump use a special law to create an industrial zone on the US side of the wall he's building along the Mexican border. I'll call this the "Mexico Border Spe-cial Zone."

If undocumented immigrants are accepted as temporary immigrants limited to this special zone, I don't see any problem. It's like creating a Chinese industrial park within the United States.

President Trump should use a special law to turn the US side of his "Trump Wall" along the Mexican border into an industrial zone.

And we should accept "#illegal immigrants" and employ them at lower wages than China. Companies all over the world are competing to build factories in search of #"low-wage workers." Go America, go 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.

❤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."
