It is very hard to immigrate to Japan,nor does anyone wants to,ask Carlos Ghosn.
Except most people who want to immigrate to Japan aren't in the same age diaposan as him but rather 20-somethings. Yet...seeing how my immigration to Japan has been postponed for ages and Im way over 20s already I'd rather be old soon to be a CEO of Nissan...
USA was sort of a unique model. America was the first time an industrialized people could quickly colonize lands that were not adjacent and marching distance. Earlier invasions, Arab, Mongol, Mayan etc. were limited by intervening geography. So far, only America , with Western European "White" Man, has emerged during this era.
Sailing ships, that recently, have so far been the only realistic model combining superior military technology and zeal with mobility. It remains to be seen how other cultures will behave, faced with similar opportunities. There is no analogous model to compare.
Is this a serious question? You really don't know? I would think that some of the history you quoted would point you in the direction of an answer. But if you sincerely want to know, feel free to start a thread on the topic. Your question is off-topic for this thread.
I asked a straightforward question. I was under the impression that majority rule would solve the problems.

The entire Western Hemisphere was similar.
It is noteworthy to contrast how the British and their descendants developed USA and Canda, against how the Spanish and their descendants developed South and Central America. I think geography has something to do with it, but I believe it 90% cultural.
I attribute the major difference the what I believe is a vastly superior culture of Democracy.
Great Britain had a King, but one hamstrung by Parliament. Meanwhile, Spain was a raw Monarchic dictatorship. I think America's development thrived from that representative government form while South and Central America was stymied by not having such a representative model, resulting in oppression and then revolution.
I am not a historian. Maybe somebody can correct me on that.
Still, it makes you wonder what would be the result if Spaniards had landed in Virginia and British colonists had landed in Brazil.

The wealthiest parts of the Western Hemisphere were in Latin America. The major cities not just in population, but also in influence and wealth were places like Mexico City. That has been the case for most of the time since colonization started in the 1500's.
The other aspect is that the USA itself has invaded much of Latin America, particularly starting on the second half of the 1800's. The USA has never been invaded by any Latin American country (and excepting Britain in the War of 1812, no country in the world has even attempted to invade the USA.)
This map presents a partial information. For example, the US militarily invaded the Dominican Republic in 1916 until 1924 and there is no mention of that. That was the most important US invasion of the DR, becsuse until then the USA was not the most important country for the DR. Most likely there are other US invasions in Latin America not commented here. In fact, Haiti has been invaded for much longer by the USA, including the first time from 1915 to 1934 (19 years under US military occupation, unbelivable) and that too isn't mention in the map. * https://medium.com/@cmathur20/human-...a-90d29043f38b
* Here are some photos (the wording is in Spanish, but photos say more than words) taken in the Dominican Republic during the first US military invasion 1916-1924: https://losdominicanos.org/2022/03/1...ana-1916-1924/
I'm not blaming the US for the current economic situation in much of Latin America, but lets not pretend Uncle Sam didn't do its part in adding wood to the fire. If Latin America would had treated the US in kind with its own invasions of the USA, I highly doubt the cuurent economic situation in the USA would be the case.
The fact remains, we welcome them rather than constrict our societies, as Japan and most of Asia does.
It is not that dificult immigrate to Japan as most people think.
I have brazilians friends who immigrate there even not being of japanese background and all they need to do were buy a six month japanese language course. Being there in Japan studing, they applied for jobs and got easily only speaking basic japanese and intermediate english, so having a job they got japanese work visa.
They are not supper qualified professionals, but graphic designers and other office workers. This is much easier than immigrate legally to USA or most of EU.
