To be fair, the guy in the story you're linking to overstayed his visa by over 6 mos. This cannot be seriously considered an "oversight", and Singapore is not known for leniency to lawbreakers, which he clearly is. He rolled the dice, and lost.
- jebblue 15y agoI agree they were enforcing their laws but to me they seem a bit harsh. I'm glad that in the US you don't get harsh punishment for being here illegally.

- jebblue 15y agoI think the US will never create a law stating to cane people who are caught here illegally; regardless who occupies the White House.
- michaelcampbell 15y agoI agree, but there are other ways to do "harsh punishment". Still, I get your point; the US will probably never be as harsh as many other places.
