Yes, yes, yes! It should be a crime! That is quite obvious to me.

I would have thought there were already laws against this. (At least civil laws). By all means - toughen them with up with fines, penalties and imprisonment! Empower law enforcement to work these crimes. Increase funding. This is a serious problem that needs a fierce response.

Kudos to Mexico.
