| Now that they seem to be taking people without college diplomas, I am curious what was happening to the people who tried to forge their way in. Was it just an immigration ban or was it something worse? |

It they were unsucessful they were not allowed in. If they were 'successful', then got caught: detention (rice, kimchee, grass clippings and some horrific seafood/weed soup 3X a day... bonus: there are no gays in K-land), court appearances, a fine and extradition.  |
