title: The new illegal immigration in Japan, 1980-1992.
abstract: "This article presents some of the latest available figures on illegal immigration in Japan, a process that did not assume significant proportions until the mid-1980s.  It also discusses briefly the latest developments around 'immigration' policy--more precisely, the law on the entry and exit of aliens."
