If you were ever in such a situation, you'd know that by far the biggest limiting factor is actually the cost of the plane ticket and the visa. There isn't much of a distinction between both. Cuba fully ended exit visas 8 years ago.

That doesn't answer the question, which is about emigration illegality being "not uncommon".

Emigration is legal for 99% of Cubans though. The issue is that the cost of emigrating is more than a years salary.
