Manufacturing consent is easier than ever. Look at how many Americans feel that immigrants are mostly violent criminals.

  How many believe that?

      Have you some impressive evidence for that?

    Apparently around 1 in 3 Americans, according to this Monmouth Poll from last year: https://www.monmouth.edu/polling-institute/reports/monmouthpoll_US_022624/ https://www.monmouth.edu/polling-institute/reports/monmouthp... "About 1 in 3 (32%) think that illegal immigrants are more likely than other Americans to commit violent crimes like rape or murder. This marks an increase in this view from prior polls (21% in 2019 and 17% in 2015)."

      This is a similar but different statistic. I suspect "close enough" is adequate here though :)
