To President Trump!
July 8, 2026【Today's Proposal】The key for developed nations to revive as manufacturing powerhouses lies in constructing "Special Zones" near borders or in neighboring countries, utilizing the influx of illegal immigrants and refu-gees as a low-wage workforce. This division of labor, which completes energy-intensive processes and simple tasks within these "Special Zones," is the only survival strategy to regain cost competitiveness that can surpass Chinese prod-ucts. (Yasuhiro Nagano)
1.【Concept of Border Zones】I am advocating for the U.S. to build "Special Zones" at the Mexican border, employing illegal immigrants as a low-wage workforce to manufacture U.S. products. This is a brilliant national strategy that manages illegal immigration while regaining the status of a manufacturing powerhouse. (Yasuhiro Nagano)
2.【Proposal for the EU】A similar concept is valid for the EU. France should take the lead in building "Special Zones" in Algeria, Africa, and employ refu-gees to handle manufacturing processes, but unfortunately, France lacks the spirit to execute this. (Yasuhiro Nagano)
3.【Expectations for Prime Minister Meloni】Italy's Prime Minister Meloni seems to be seriously considering coexistence with Africa. If she takes the lead in real-izing these "Special Zones" in Algeria, I am convinced that Italy can reclaim its position as a manufacturing powerhouse as the leader driving Europe. (Yasuhi-ro Nagano)
4.【Success in Moving Away from Russia】Before the Ukraine war, Italy relied on Russian gas for over 40%, but succeeded in reducing that to near zero in just one to two years. Prime Minister Meloni's handling of this is magnificent. (Yasuhiro Nagano)
5.【The Reality of High Costs】However, compared to the days of buying cheap, massive amounts of Russian gas via pipelines, procurement costs for increased supplies from Algeria and LNG transported by ship are higher. (Yasuhiro Naga-no)
6.【Dilemma of Approval Ratings】Consequently, utility bills for Italian house-holds and corporate manufacturing costs remain higher than before the war. This lowers support for the Italian government, which seems to be escaping re-sponsibility by blaming Russia. (Yasuhiro Nagano)
7.【Weakness of Italian Industry】The strength of the Italian economy lies in "small and medium-sized enterprises (including family businesses) with unique technologies," but they lack the financial endurance compared to large corporations. Soaring energy prices are hitting this industrial sector directly. (Yasuhiro Nagano)
8.【Effectiveness of Moving Processes】While the U.S. Special Zones would handle assembly, Italy’s industry centers on small and medium-sized firms with unique technologies. Therefore, the optimal strategy to reduce costs is to move only the "subcontracting processes" to the Special Zones. (Yasuhiro Na-gano)
9.【Cost Reduction via Division of Labor】By moving energy-intensive processes and tasks requiring大量 of simple labor to Special Zones, developed nations can supply products at lower costs than Chinese-made ones. Rebuilding a division-of-labor system where developed nations survive is the essence of modern in-dustrial policy. (Yasuhiro Nagano)
10.【Winning Supply Chain】If Italy builds a supply chain where raw materials are shipped from Italy to the Special Zones and finished products are shipped back, its small and medium-sized enterprises can become "winners" once again. (Yasuhiro Nagano)
11.【Outsourcing Energy-Intensive Processes】For example, the process of mixing soil or minerals in a giant mixer into a liquid (slurry) and drying it in-stantly with hot air consumes massive amounts of gas. These energy-intensive processes should be offloaded to factories in Special Zones equipped for envi-ronmental and energy measures. (Yasuhiro Nagano)
12.【Overwhelming Cost Difference】The "illegal immigrants (refugees)" em-ployed in the "Special Zones" earn wages lower than those in China. Moreover, energy prices within Algeria are shockingly low—roughly "one-tenth to one-twentieth" of those in Italy. (Yasuhiro Nagano)
13.【Decision to Protect Industry】Prime Minister Meloni should seriously con-sider constructing "Special Zones" in Algeria. To protect traditional Italian in-dustry, she should establish a system where processes requiring "energy-intensive" and "low-wage simple labor" are carried out in these zones. (Yasuhi-ro Nagano)
14.【Successful Model Case】Once the "subcontracting processes" in the "Spe-cial Zones" are established, it will be the only successful example among de-veloped nations. Italy's small and medium-sized enterprises will be able to completely sweep the world. (Yasuhiro Nagano)
15.【Conclusion】Now is the time for Italy to have the courage to break existing frameworks. The bold choice of relocating processes to Algeria is the certain path to push Italy back into becoming a global manufacturing powerhouse. (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.
