Hey!! His name doesn't end in Z.  He must've been framed.

No.  His name is correct.  It ends in "a" as in Canada, where immigration laws are, from what I've heard, enforced.

Believe it or not, people complain about the illegals there, too.  They found a cargo boat full of Chinese smuggled in containers in ports in BC while I was there in 2001.  Even a fence could not have stopped that.  Did you hear about that one?
