Couldn't they just stay home, and drink the water there?

Who are the people (or companies) rounding these people up and forcing them to come to the United States? I heard they pay money to be smuggled into the U.S.

Why doesn't the Mexican government work to increase the number of jobs paying decent wages? Maybe their minimum wage laws should match/be pegged to ours?

If I look in the window of a gun store, and want what is on the other side of the glass, is it okay to just break the glass and take it? Could we redefine personal property laws to reflect the "I am entitled to what I want" attitude?

Finally, is personal responsibility dead?
