I agree don't steal and let's prosecute those who do. What about those in Mexico that steal from the the people who are fleeing violence?
Why stop there, how about we do something about the violent dangerous environment? Would you support military action in Mexico and South America to try and fix the problems?
But I also know that it will be something that get tried, probably more than once if the US thinks that it has a moral mandate to fix the problem in Mexico and South America as the parent was suggesting.
