So they are afraid the actual law will be enforced, because they're criminals.

They're afraid because their lives are in America.

Do you think the law should be changed? Should we try to perfectly enforce every law, no matter how cruel or costly it is? Should the DEA start raiding cancer patients again?

Laws are always selectively enforced, by necessity. Politicians, prosecutors, police chiefs, LEO's and others dictate how resources are allocated to enforcement.

And an election should decide who should be the one to allocate those resources with the people's best interest in mind. That's literally what happened.
