50-60 years ago, people from Japan came to the United States in droves. Nowadays, the immigration rate of Japanese people into the United States is merely a trickle. Why is this?

Why leave Japan when the economy, education, and technology is so good?

Probably because people only immigrate from bad economies. Japan has a good economy last time I checked. Although I do have a brother-in-law that migrated from Japan.

Think about what was going on 60 years ago. Now things have changed quite a bit. Their economy is continually growing, US corporation are increasing there, and tiertiary economic activities (services, hotels, etc) are popular.
In addition, if you look at where they are immigrating to, you will find that Canda is pretty high on the list.

Japanese immigration to America is decreasing because America's violent crime rate is increasing(due to illegal aliens) and because illegal aliens are ruining schools.
Japanese don't want their kids to be raised in a third world country. Illegal aliens are making the U.S. into a third world country. California is slowly turning into slum.
Many Japanese know how to write English better than a large percentage of Americans.

They do. Maybe not as many as from other countries. Maybe this is because the standard of living in Japan is higher than a lot of other countries.

I guess it's because Japan has so many advanced electronics. Also if their family lives there they may all want to stay close and be able to keep in touch.

The Japanese are a very proud people with a proud heritage,and by moving here they would lose their identity.

Maybe a lot of people in japan don't think we should be in a war.

Japan is almost as wealthy (or more so) than the U.S.A. Japs have no need to come here. We helped them re-build their country after WWII. First we bombed it, and then we helped them with the Marshall Plan.
