To President Trump!
July 13, 2026 [Today's Proposal] The United States should create a "Balanced Coun-tervailing Tariff" that imposes duties based on the net import amount, in addition to existing "high tariffs," to pivot toward "export-led growth." By effectively zeroing out tariffs while eliminating the trade deficit and enhancing the international competitive-ness of American products, the U.S. can achieve prosperity for its citizens and truly "MAGA" (Make America Great Again). (Yasuhiro Nagano)
1． [CPI Rise and Reality] With the U.S. Consumer Price Index (CPI) for May rising 4.2% year-on-year, marking the highest increase in about three years, it is urgent to move away from conventional high-tariff policies that fuel inflation and pivot to an economic strategy centered on export promotion. (Yasuhiro Nagano)
2． [The Role of Balanced Countervailing Tariffs] The "Balanced Countervailing Tariff" is a mechanism that imposes high tariffs on the net import amount—the total imports minus total exports. This creates an incentive structure that strongly encourages U.S. companies to export, rather than simply restricting imports. (Yasuhiro Nagano)
3． [The Magic of Effectively Zero Tariffs] If foreign exporters actively purchase and import American products, the tariff on their exports to the U.S. can be effectively ze-roed out as an offsetting measure. This mechanism is a groundbreaking method to simultaneously expand trade and achieve a balanced trade landscape. (Yasuhiro Na-gano)
4． [The Key to Export-Led Growth] The challenge for the U.S. economy is the lack of export promotion policies. Filling the trade deficit through increased exports is one of the most sound economic paths and represents an ideal "export-led growth" model that distributes wealth to citizens. (Yasuhiro Nagano)
5． [Proof of Technology and Brand] The widespread global adoption of American products is proof that U.S. technology and brand power are recognized in the world market. Increasing exports will raise the nation's overall strength and maximize the national interest. (Yasuhiro Nagano)
6． [MAGA Desired by Citizens] Increased exports lead to the expansion of manufac-turing, logistics, and service industries, creating a virtuous cycle of job creation and wage growth. This is the true form of "MAGA" that all American citizens have long awaited. (Yasuhiro Nagano)
7． [Redefining Trump Tariffs] While the simple imposition of "high tariffs" invites global backlash, adding "Balanced Countervailing Tariffs" changes the dynamic. It es-tablishes a fair rule that rewards companies and countries that work to sell American products, thereby gaining international support. (Yasuhiro Nagano)
8． [Even Xi Jinping Would Welcome It] Overseas companies, including those in Chi-na, would have the incentive to purchase American products to secure access to the U.S. market. This allows for the construction of a "Win-Win" relationship between the U.S. and China, avoiding trade friction while both reap benefits. (Yasuhiro Nagano)
9． [Responsibility of a Major Consumer] If the U.S., as one of the world's largest consumer nations, introduces this policy, global trade will move toward expansion ra-ther than stagnation. It is a prime opportunity for President Trump to demonstrate powerful leadership as a hero of global trade. (Yasuhiro Nagano)
10． [Embodying Patriotism] When American citizens take pride in promoting "Made in USA" products to the world, it strengthens the nation's economic foundation. This shift will transform society into one where Americans are liked and respected globally, and citizens feel a sense of pride. (Yasuhiro Nagano)
11． [Becoming a Liked Nation] Increased exports are evidence that people around the world support American products. Becoming a "liked nation" not only brings eco-nomic prosperity but also reinforces political and diplomatic soft power. (Yasuhiro Na-gano)
12． [Benefits to Corporations] With a mechanism to avoid tariff burdens, companies will focus on strengthening exports from the U.S. rather than maintaining overseas production bases. This will accelerate the revival of domestic manufacturing and large-scale reinvestment. (Yasuhiro Nagano)
13． [Expectations for Mr. Trump] While past high-tariff policies might have been criticized as "not well-spoken," presenting a logical alternative like the "Balanced Countervailing Tariff" will cement his legacy as a true hero. (Yasuhiro Nagano)
14． [The Great Shift of 2026] If President Trump realizes this vision, the United States will transform into an export powerhouse in both name and reality. It will be a historic turning point that rewrites global trade rules and makes the American people the happiest in the world. (Yasuhiro Nagano)
15． [Conclusion of the Proposal] The "Balanced Countervailing Tariff" is the unique solution for the U.S. to redistribute wealth and revitalize the global economy. This policy is the decisive survival strategy for 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.
