2558 Les SmithAs a permanent resident, the change in policy infuriates me. This is a step backwards and as racist a policy as can be.

2570 AnonymousNorth Korea never attack Japan in the whole history. Japan has no real enemies, what is the need of fingerprints then? Is Japan thinking to creat enemies (like Al Qaeda) in the futrue, so they are preparing from now even before creat an enemy!!!!!!

2572 Reid SThis is absolute bullshit.... I'm not a crook!
2573 VinceWhy is Japanese still so desperate to be like the USA?
2574 David RyanI am a hard working, honest, decent volunteer in this fine country of Japan and I find these tactics an insult to the hard work done by foreigners in this country everywhere.
2575 Kevin BurnsI don`t see how fingerprinting me or other foreign residents will help catch terrorists.
2576 Eric Scott MajeskyIf you are going to fingerprint foreigners, then I would expect you would fingerprint all people in Japan, of course this includes Japanese citizens. Singling out only one group is not fair, and gives a very insulting impression of how Japanese people and the government sees foreigners. In the west and elsewhere I assume, fingerprinting is a very very serious matter, and not to be taken lightly. It is none in criminal situations in almost all cases. When you ask foreigners to involuntaritly give a fingerprint upon entering Japan, it is like saying that you view all foreigners as potential threats to your country, and basically it feels like you are calling us criminals. We do take it very seriously, and find it quite insulting. If we commit a crime, then at that time you are more than in the right to fingerprint the criminal, but until a crime has occured, please dont insult us by forcing us to give you our fingerprints. Thank you for strongly considering this petetion. Sincerely, Eric Scott Majesky

2579 Phillip DaleI think it is an action against the privacy of those who have lived peacefully in this country for many years and will remain here peacefully for many years to come.

2587 hugo prenderghastThis is just another example of Japan's rampant xenophobia.
2588 AnonymousI think this is a stupid thing to control illegal immigration or to think it could stop terrorism. It just that Japan likes to follow the U.S. The gvt should think that the only terrorists that can hurt Japan is their own people. (ex: Aum sect)
