What is the policy on illegal emigrants in Canuckistan?

It sounds like a utopia with free healthcare and all.

If were to be ignored by my government, unemployed and very poor, can I sneak into Canada and get a job so I can send money home?

You would support me with your tax money wouldn't you?

You would not mind if i lived with 6 other illegals in one house and worked so cheap that it depresses the wages that citizens earn would you?

You would not be so stingy and cheap that my kids could not ursurp public recources like education that is paid for by citizens would you?

After all I would only be seeking a better life which trumps the law.

Ev'rything free in Canada. Even a poor tailor is entitled to some happiness.

Or maybe I could save myself and sneak in to the real land of milk and honey, Cuba.

Wow man, I would really have it made there, right Comrade?

And the weed down there it is Fantastico No?

It wasn't until 2003 that Cuban officials admitted drug consumption, no matter how limited, was becoming a problem on the island. Until then, it was a "capitalist ill" introduced by unscrupulous tourists, although they acknowledged that there were Cubans who cultivated small amounts of marijuana or who sold bales of drugs found washed up on the shore.

The government fought this "incipient market" with a vengeance. In January 2003, early morning raids with drug-sniffing dogs on the homes of suspects left floors ripped up and sofa cushions slashed.

Where drugs were found, special Interior Ministry police units hauled away the entire contents of the residence, as for the most part approving neighbors looked on. And Cuba's already stiff penalties for drug trafficking were made even more stringent.

Last year, according to the Communist Party daily Granma, over 1,800 people were tried for dealing drugs. The article published Feb. 3 did not specify how many foreigners were among those prosecuted.

Just days ago, Cuban state-run radio reported that a Holguín court sentenced 13 Cubans to prison sentences of from six to 25 years for drug trafficking. According to the report the 13 confessed at their trial to being part of a drug network. No other information is available on the case. The only public knowledge of such trials comes from the usually reticent official government media.
