"Such disrespect for the law sets a terrible example to everyone."

That's the trouble with amnesty. It validates the disrespect for the law, saying in effect, if enough people commit a crime, it's no longer a crime.
The leadership of Mexico has to be confronted. It's like when you see neglected children on the street, the parents have to be confronted. You don't just adopt the kids and let the parents off the hook. The Mexican government is like those bad parents that neglect their own children.

Great analogy.

What an excellent point. I've never heard it put quite that way before.
