The efficacy of repetition, and so much more.

The harm of repeating the false link between immigration and crime​

Even recognizing that a statement is false becomes more difficult when someone repeatedly hears false information.

In what cognitive scientists call the “illusory truth effect,” the more someone hears a statement, the more likely they are to believe it. A leading explanation for the phenomenon is that repetition makes information easier to process, making it seem more truthful. A 2021 study found that even as the greatest increase in perceived truth happened when subjects heard a piece of information a second time, subjects reported perceptions of truth increased with repetition up to nine times, and didn’t decrease with further repetition.

Falsely linking immigration and crime has resulted in real policies. These include Secure Communities, a Department of Homeland Security Program that flags immigrants in local law enforcement custody for deportation, and the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement’s 287(g) program, which delegates some immigration enforcement tasks to local law enforcement.

Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth was asked early in the hearing whether he would ignore court orders regarding the domestic use of troops, if ordered to do so by Mr. Trump.

“I don’t believe district courts should be setting national security policy,” Mr. Hegseth said as Democrats questioned him about the legality of sending military personnel to Los Angeles amid protests over immigration raids. Pressed further, he said he would honor a ruling by the Supreme Court.

Frankly, Charlotte, I don't give a damn what you think district courts should or shouldn't be doing. You and your boss don't get to pick and choose which court orders to obey. In America, where officials like the Sec. of Defense (and prez) take an oath to uphold the Constitution, court orders are sacrosanct until overruled on appeal. No matter how many times you repeat assertions to the contrary.

You know, sometimes my mind wanders and I think about 500,000 years in the future when we are all gone and aliens reach our planet, find we are all gone and investigate us. They do archaelogy and dig up sites to find out what we were like and they discover our evidence that there were 65 genders and men got pregant and they shake their heads in disbelief, either thinking it must be true, that it is just our mythology, or thinking how insane these people were and that that is what must have killed them off.

Imagine their shock and wonder when they learn that women bore the young until 2020, when men tried so hard to take over the task. Then they'll see that they realized the futility of such a thing in about 2025, and gave up on it.

And the ridiculousness of trying to make child bearers out of little boys and breadwinners out of little girls.

They'll do whatever their equivalent of scratching their their heads.

AURORA, Colo. — A 19-year-old college student who was arrested by Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents soon after a traffic stop in Mesa County will be released on bond, according to her attorney.
Caroline Dias Goncalves, who has a pending asylum case and has lived in Utah for the past 12 years, was on her way to Denver when she was pulled over by a Mesa County Sheriff's Office deputy while driving on Interstate 70 outside Loma on June 5.

After she was released from the traffic stop with a warning, Dias Goncalves continued her trip and exited the highway. That's when ICE agents stopped her, arrested her and took her to the ICE detention facility in Aurora, according to NBC News.
Dias Goncalves was born in Brazil and was brought to the United States as a 7-year-old, NBC News reports.

If you weren't too lazy to read the article I posted you'd have known your reply was bullshit before you wrote it.

"They want [unauthorized immigrants] voting, because they believe they’ll be voting for Democrats every single time."
Fact check

There is no evidence that Democratic immigration policies have led to any meaningful increase in noncitizen voting, or in any form of demographic advantage for the party.

Federal law prohibits noncitizens from voting in federal elections and the available evidence shows attempts to get around the law are vanishingly rare.

State-level reviews of voter rolls have routinely found negligible numbers of noncitizens attempting or successfully registering to vote. For example, earlier this year in Ohio, about 600 noncitizens were found to have registered to vote. Of those, about 138 are believed to have cast a ballot, representing about 0.002% of the state’s registered voters. Similarly, in August, a yearslong review in Texas found about 2,000 “potential” noncitizens with voting histories on Texas voter rolls — or 0.01% of the electorate — but to date, none have been accused of voting illegally.

Republicans have still tried to tighten voter registration laws, specifically the 2024 SAVE Act legislation, which would force states to verify citizenship before adding someone to the voter rolls, an effort that Democrats have stymied to this point.

Another version of Trump’s argument is that pro-immigrant efforts by Democrats pad the census counts of Democrat-majority districts and give the party an advantage in House representation and the Electoral College. Trump ally Elon Musk has repeatedly echoed this claim, falsely claiming that Democrats have gained as many as 20 seats in the House due to illegal immigration.

Multiple analyses have found that illegal immigration is responsible for between 0 and 1 additional Democratic representatives in the House based on the 2020 census. Additionally, at the statewide level, noncitizen arrivals have been concentrated in Republican-leaning states since 2019, according to an analysis by the Cato Institute.

In what cognitive scientists call the “illusory truth effect,” the more someone hears a statement, the more likely they are to believe it.

Or: repeat a lie often enough until it’s perceived to be ‘true’ – a classic tactic of the fascist right – such as the lie that immigrants have a propensity for crime.

And conservatives will continue to use this lie to vilify and dehumanize immigrants to justify Trump’s hateful immigration agenda – another classic tactic of the fascist right.
