Japan Catches 5 Foreigners on Immigration Blacklist with New Fingerprinting Policy

Posted by Bill Belew on November 21st, 2007 in Japan | Comments Off

Japan has been a staunch support of the U.S. in the fight against terrorist.

Consequently, the country feels they may be the next target.

Japan started fingerprinting all foreigners and doing photo checks on persons over 16-years of age….even longtime residents are scanned.

In less than a week, five names have come up among the 800,000 names on Japan's blacklist, including some who have already been deported.

One was sent packing and four more are being investigated.

Only diplomats, government guests and permanent residents who have lived in Jjapan.fingerprint.jpgapan for generations can get in without being demoralized.

They can fingerprint me if they like, if it will help catch terrorists.
