Let's put it this way: If you were earning $500 a month with an extended family of 12 back home depending on you, would you risk your livelihood by committing some silly crime and getting jailed, caned and deported?
Pongámoslo así: si tú ganas $500 al mes con una familia extendida en casa de 12 que dependen de ti, ¿arriesgarías tu forma de vida por cometer algún tonto crimen y que te metan preso, te golpearan y de deportaran?
