Debunking the Myth of the ‘Migrant Crime Wave’

In the past few months, politicians and certain media outlets have latched on to a narrative that recent immigrants, especially undocumented ones, are causing spikes in crime. Instead of gathering data and examining the issue empirically, they are making this broad assertion based on highly publicized individual incidents of crime by undocumented immigrants. All acts of violence must be taken seriously. But policymakers should not attribute blame to entire classes of people when individuals commit crimes.

The research does not support the view that immigrants commit crime or are incarcerated at higher rates than native-born Americans. In fact, immigrants might have less law enforcement contact compared to nonimmigrants. Focusing on the facts is imperative, especially given that immigration has become a top issue for voters ahead of the election.

The rubes just buy it all. And I swear, they'd pass a lie detector test. They really do believe it.

All this thread is going to prove out is that both parties lie through their teeth and their followers will defend those lies no matter what.

As you know, that is one of many false equivalences used to obfuscate what has happened to the former GOP.

Repetition makes a fact seem more true, regardless of whether it is or not. Understanding this effect can help you avoid falling for propaganda, says psychologist Tom Stafford.

“Repeat a lie often enough and it becomes the truth”, is a law of propaganda often attributed to the Nazi Joseph Goebbels. Among psychologists something like this known as the "illusion of truth" effect. Here's how a typical experiment on the effect works: participants rate how true trivia items are, things like "A prune is a dried plum". Sometimes these items are true (like that one), but sometimes participants see a parallel version which isn't true (something like "A date is a dried plum").
After a break – of minutes or even weeks – the participants do the procedure again, but this time some of the items they rate are new, and some they saw before in the first phase. The key finding is that people tend to rate items they've seen before as more likely to be true, regardless of whether they are true or not, and seemingly for the sole reason that they are more familiar.

I've not seen a better explanation for how so many lies spewed by trump have become adopted by The Following as the truth. Most of us intuitively know it to be so. What else accounts for the persistent belief in the Big Lie, and so many others?

But he can't do it alone. What doesn't get enough attention is the crucial role conservative media plays in reinforcing the lies trump tells. If Faux fact checked trump on a regular basis the country would be a far different place. But then Faux's on air personalities lie inveterately as well. It's an essential part of their business model. Not correcting a lie being almost as bad as starting one.

There's another name for the "illusion of truth" trumples so ardently believe in. Coined by trump's former chief propagandist, Kellyanne. It's called "alternative facts."

Kellyanne Conway: Sean Spice shared ‘alternative facts’ in Trump's crowd size

What began as a tortured excuse for Sean Spicer's inaugural crowd size lie has blossomed in to the belief in what is tantamount to a parallel universe. A safe place for The Following to retreat to when reality becomes unbearably inconvenient.

Their fawning adoration was on full display at the convention when the sheep put bandages on their ears in sycophantic sympathy with Dear Leader. Some of those folks would walk on hot coals for him.

They have forgotten he's just a bombastic salesman with a talent for conning people, not the second coming.

It would be one thing if the reflexive impulse of blaming illegal immigration for the New Orleans killings was followed by retractions. But they kept doubling down, ignoring objective truth.

Why? BECAUSE THEY CAN GET AWAY WITH IT.

If the economy was not strong the stock market would not have had the best two consecutive years of gains since the 1970's.

Try as you might, you can not provide an example of the majority of a US political party believing in an overt, demonstrable lie like trump's false claims about election fraud costing him the 2020 election.

The only thing that explains it is the repetition of his lies and right wing media enabling them.

The lie that Biden was cognitively strong was a major lie - designed to hide the fact that an unelected group of Obama’s people were making the anti-American decisions.

Why would you connect the stock market to the US economy? Are you under the impression that the stock market and the strength of the US economy are always in sync?

As soon as illegals cross the border....well......illegally, they have instantly broken the law. So, migrant crime wave is 100% accurate regardless of if derBERGhoff or Macafloozy want to use semantics to justify their position. Just because the law that the illegals broke isn't important to these 2 people, doesn't mean it isn't important to most Americans. That is why they just don't get it! They believe their opinion is brilliant, and the majority of the "great unwashed" are just dumb. That is always the position of the self defined, BRILLIANT, college edumacated in Liberal Arts, Leftist.

 

[Lisa558]

Yup. Remember the stage where Messiah Obama came out on the night of his 2008 win, complete with Roman columns?

(The other odd thing was that it was just the four of them on stage - including his wife and two you kids). Where was his extended family? No close “like family” people? Nope. He wanted it known that he and he alone was the new Ruler.)

 

[Lisa558]

Yes, the profitability of corporations soared over the actions I noted above while the people struggled to stay above water and many didn't.

Just think of the money diverted to the illegals that could have gone to needy Americans.
