North Korea, the Marxist/Stalinist dictatorship? Someone wants us to be more like them? Can't be a right-winger saying that, can it?

You'll remember Ray Stevens as the author of 70s comedy songs such as Gitarzan and The Streak, the humour of which owed as much to their obviously sweetened laugh and applause tracks as to their lyrics.
Well, he's back, and weighing in caustically on the immigration question, with this song, "Come to the USA" (video below the fold).
In it, he wears a festive sombrero, and portrays himself as a Mexican illegal immigrant, coming to America to pick up all kinds of "free stuff" such as "welfare, education," health care, and other goodies.
The funny thing, though, is how much of the song is devoted to comparisons with countries such as Iran and North Korea. In these countries, he notes approvingly, the police state apparatus is so well-developed that they'll throw you in jail and "you might never be heard from agin."
So... we should be more like the Marxist police state of North Korea, then?
