It unfortunately makes a lot of sense, from a certain point of view.
Specifically, what need is there for, say, a police force if there is no crime? What need is there for a government if there are no problems that the populace needs to have addressed as a group?
Given that, a way for an entity (individual, or organization) to keep itself in power, is to acknowledge the problem (preferably while blaming it on someone else), promise to fix it, make a great show of doing things that look like they're doing something ... but leave the root of the problem in place.
It's the government version of planned obsolescence.
This is just more of the standard lefty play book. (And it is coming out of the oldest sections of that book.) They create, direct, subsidize, or hinder the solving, of a group of criminals and troublemakers. Always in ways that encourage the problems created to get larger, more widespread, and affecting as many people as possible.
Then "promise" to solve the issue, if people would just give them the power to ignore any annoying limits on their authority. (Which I realized as I wrote this, is exactly what Palpatine did in parts 1-3 of Star Wars.)
I believe the end goal is full citizenship and a very reliable voting block. Sure, they get counted in the census and that can cause redrawing of Congressional Districts to their advantage but the SOB's just don't seem interested in getting naturalized and voting. Maybe the Dems are playing the long game and hoping that their spawn will become a reliable voting block.
So ignoring illegal criminal activity is a legacy thing? This whole issue get more and more sinister the deeper you look. There were always parts of cities that law enforcement was less present in than other sections, usually it was the hood. Not something to be proud of, but it happened. Now these no-go zones are full of crime and illegals? Happy they're cleaning everything up.
There's a cold-blooded logic to it. As we learned back during the Obama administration (and in the "mostly peaceful" summer of 2020), the Democrats are comfortable with a certain level of violence in this country as it provides a convenient pretext to push their agenda.

Yeah, the movies kinda sucked imo but you're right, it's a great example.
I wonder if Disney realizes that...
Excellent point AJ!
