Activist and journalist Arudou Debito of FRANCA Japan and Debito.org joins The Corbett Report to discuss new measures for tracking and controlling foreign residents in Japan. Foreign residents already have to surrender their biometric data to the government upon entering the country and are required by law to carry their foreigner id cards at all times. Now those cards are going to be implanted with IC chips, making it possible for foreigners to be tracked and traced at all times.

    • I agree with the statement that "we should not be giving the police more power." There have been talks of this here in the States of the government wanting to make us have a national ID card. I know that there is already a chip in my passport....

    • I am surprised that Japan beat us to it. Guess the brains behind the Patriot Act didn't think of it, teach them for ignoring science.
