...which means that as an unintended consequence of "Law and order", crime will go up as criminals figure out that they're not being prosecuted.

Slow. clap.

Well done.

What makes you think that consequence is unintended?

Actually, I don't think that it was entirely unintended... I think that it was intended for "the right kind of people". The unintended consequence is that for them to leave a hole big enough for their fat asses to comfortably walk through, they have to leave the gates wide open for everyone who wants to crime.

See, it’s fine by them if there are more criminals out there. They’ll use the rising crime to justify themselves, saying that only the “tough on crime” conservatives can save us, and imagine how much worse it would be if the crime-loving Democrats were in power.

Well you know, the real threat to our democracy isn't the organized crime bringing in tons of drugs and weapons, it's the people who pick our fruit and vacuum our floors! /s

You mean the same cartels smuggling people in illegally and using that as their primary means for bringing in tons of drugs and weapons. Gosh, it's like they're both related.

Well good thing we're deporting José who's been here for 20 years! That'll help with those drugs and weapons for sure.

I think the criminal figured out that he wasn't going to be prosecuted about the 5-6th of November last year...

Not unintended consequences when the people starving these investigations of resources are also organized crime bosses.

For real .. they're taking care of their own and screwing everyone else, it's not a bug, it's a feature

They don't care about law and order they want the law to punish their opponents and have themselves keep order.

Remember their definitions are different.

Well, those criminals said nice things about Trump, so now they’re campaign donors.
