永住取り消し、悪質ケースに限定　首相、慎重運用を強調―入管法改正

　衆院法務委員会は１５日、岸田文雄首相が出席し、技能実習に代わる外国人材受け入れ制度「育成就労」の創設を柱とする入管難民法などの改正案の質疑を行った。永住者が税や社会保険料の納付を故意に怠った場合に永住許可を取り消し可能とする規定について、首相は「（対象は）一部の悪質な場合」に限られると説明。「大多数の永住者に影響を及ぼすものではない」として理解を求めた。公明党の大口善徳氏への答弁。
　立憲民主党の道下大樹氏は「永住者の未納がどれだけあるか、調査を行っていない」と批判。法令の必要性や正当性を根拠付ける「立法事実」があるとは言えないとして規定の削除を求めた。
　首相は「取り消しは（外国人の）定着性に配慮して慎重に検討する」と強調した。（2024/05/15-12:30）

Japanese Prime Minister Fumio Kishida said Wednesday that an envisaged rule to revoke permanent residence permits of foreigners will be limited to some malicious cases.
   "The planned rule would not affect the vast majority of foreign permanent residents," Kishida said at a meeting of the Judicial Affairs Committee of the House of Representatives, the lower chamber of the Diet, the country's parliament.
   The rule was included in a provision of a bill to revise the immigration control and refugee recognition law and other relevant laws that features a plan to abolish the existing technical intern program for foreign nationals and create a new scheme to train foreign workers.
   The bill calls for allowing the government to revoke the permanent residence permits of foreigners if permit holders intentionally fail to pay taxes or social insurance premiums.
   At the day's meeting, Daiki Michishita of the leading opposition Constitutional Democratic Party of Japan criticized the government for not conducting a study to find out how many foreign permanent residents have failed to pay taxes or social insurance premiums.
