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

How many believe that?
Apparently around 1 in 3 Americans, according to this Monmouth Poll from last year: 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 :)

50%+
Have you some impressive evidence for that?
