Now they don't just 'kick' them off....but actually give me lots of money. Must be nice.

I'm not 'brushing it over'. If anyone is doing that it's you, by refusing to acknowledge the complexities of life in another country where conditions and individual values, needs and perspectives are different. I'm trying to enrich the discussion by providing some information that gives insight into the complexity of the situation. You're simply reducing it to a 'bad government' vs. 'victim citizen' portrayal. That is idiotic.

And you really should read up on land owner rights vs. the government in North America. Land owner rights are not so absolute.
