For many Mexicans, once you get across the border, it's pretty much a free ride and a free lunch. Someone needs to apply 100% of the law 100% of the time, and put muscle into a society that once was ruled by the Rule of Law.
This doesn't inspire confidence.
It's spelled correctly in the .pdf. I think the poster typed it in, rather than using the tool in the Adobe reader to copy to the clipboard.
Yeah, that makes sense.
