Japan does not have a tenth the resources per capita that India does. Japanese workers receive more for their work because Japan is a productive society. Those who advocate unlimited immigration assume that all societies are equally productive. so the fact that Japan has a high living standard is a happenstance. If we assume the higher wage in a productive society is coincidental. then certainly an Indian has as much right to it as does a Japanese. Free market economics. in other words. does not take into account contributions of the members of a society. not only as workers and savers. but as citizens.
