Let me give you a real life example!

I am brown (I don’t want to say brown, but I’m going to use your logic. I rather to just say I am American)

I immigrated here with a pregnant wife, and a child and $50 in my pockets! /1 https://twitter.com/aoc/status/1282723931099746304
You know what I didn’t do? Steal anything or sell weed!

I looked for jobs immediately after I got here. I worked first job for $8.75 in hour, and a second job as construction worker with a contractor

I then moved to another job for $10 in hour which I was happy about /2
And still didn’t steal or sell weed!

Then I continued to improve our lives.

I did what I loved the most, joining the military

I joined the Army. Since day one I started getting a paycheck, education, medical and dental insurance, housing...etc /3
Still never stole or sold weed!

I went to continue my education, my wife is continuing her education, my kids getting the best education. we own our house, we have a beautiful two cars, we have everything we need (thank god) and we can buy anything we need /4
To justify a crime I think is irrational.

I would ask you was this crime committed by your friend, before president Trump created millions of jobs?

it sounds like it happened long time ago, and the president is doing something to solve the problem.
