Stealing is, of course, antithetical to society, as is hoarding wealth and refusal to share, which, if criminalized, would certanly flood the jails and prisons with a whole new breed of convict...
All he was saying was that just because an activity is motivated by economic desperation does not make it right. Both sneaking into this country, and stealing from others, are both illegal per our country's laws. Whether or not they are considered ethically acceptable when one is faced with a desperate situation could be debated.
Lots of criminals throughout history have probably committed acts of theft, robbery, and even murder, all because they have found themselves in a bad economic position. Does that make it okay to break the law in those conditions? The analogy of illegal immigration to stealing is indeed a valid one.
