And getting massive influx of immigrants that are good for society is not easy to pull off, especially if the country's language does not happen to be the world language. You could of course open the borders for Turkey, Africa and the Middle-East like Europe does(in practice, not theoretically), but that does create more problems than it solves.
They need to stop treating current "Non Japanese" like crap.

I believe two years ago they had a policy of asking Brazilian Immigrants, some second generation, offer them money to visit Brazil with the caveat of not coming back. That is kind of mean, especially since Brazil is consider to be highly "friendly" as opposed to say, Chinese or Koreans living in Japan (which presumably has an even worse deal) =/
