In Japan, migrant raids and deportations turned into TV entertainment
AS JAPAN predicts a rise in the number of immigrants and foreign tourists in the coming years, a new television show has turned migrant deportations into entertainment.
The program provoked some outraged viewer reactions and insights about the plight faced by visa overstayers and undocumented migrants in Japan.
Taikyo no Shunkan (タイキョの瞬間), which translates to “At the very moment they were deported” in English, premiered on Fuji Television in a Saturday evening prime time slot on Oct 6, 2018.
Using a typical reality show format, the two-hour program follows a group of so-called “G-Men”, or immigration officers, employed by the Tokyo regional office of the National Immigration Bureau as they hunt down visa overstayers and so-called “illegal aliens” (fuhotaizaisha, 不法滞在者) and squatters on camera.
