In any case, it is really difficult for me to feel sorry for those who flagrantly violate the law, and then dare the violated country (which they profess to love) to begin enforcing the law.

Story is right. We're connected to the same land mass and share a border. The only reason they don't have it better is the corruption of the government and lawlessness and immorality that's allowed to exist in that country.
