Will ban on Street Children criminalize poverty?

Mexico is planning ban on Street children. The modified article, if voted into law, would obligate authorities to send children under age 14 that they encounter on the streets to government social service agencies. The fine for not doing so is up to 100 days of minimum wage i.e. 5,500 pesos or $421. The proposal has drawn fierce criticism in Mexico and the children's rights organizations believe that it’ll ‘criminalize poverty.’ Will it? Or is it that politicians want to create a fictitious city, where poverty does not exist?
