Why do some politicians want to decriminalize crime?

I believe they do it, in order to make the crime rate statistics look good.

Decriminalizing illegal activities creates outrage and causes the public to demand a solution. The cure is often worse than the disease. Politicians have been doing this for decades.

Look no further than the democrats position on the border. They ignored border security for 3 years and allowed millions to enter illegally including violent criminals, terrorists, and single military aged men into the country. And for 3 years, Biden claimed the border was secure. NOW the dems admit there's a problem and they need to fix the border. But instead of simply enforcing existing immigration laws, and ignoring the fact that the executive branch has the ultimate authority to secure the border, they claim Congress has to pass a law to provide the solution. Their solution is a bill filled with pork and would grant citizenship to millions of illegals to create a permanent voting super majority...which is what they really want.

@BizSuitStacy Thank you. Anything negotiated by Mitch McConnel is not worth the paper it was printed on.

If the Biden administration really cares about securing the border, the first thing they can do is stop hamstringing the southern border states from enforcing their own borders. They are still pushing to prevent Texas from managing its border.
