Sweeping DOJ Indictments Prove Critics Of Giving IDs To Illegal Immigrants Right: ‘They Lowered The Standards’.​

Past critics of laws allowing illegal migrants to obtain driver’s licenses say they aren’t surprised after a multi-state scheme made hundreds of thousands taking advantage of lowered ID standards.

The Department of Justice (DOJ) announced sweeping charges against several individuals who were allegedly involved in a conspiracy that fraudulently applied for driver’s licenses for more than 1,000 people, most of whom were living in the United States unlawfully. The alleged scheme involved procuring driver’s licenses in Massachusetts and New York, two states that allow illegal migrants to obtain them, and sell them to illegal migrants living elsewhere in the country.

Polls, polls, polls.

President Joe Biden’s approval rating sank to a new low in a Marquette University Law School poll released on Wednesday.

According to the survey of 1,063 adults across the country, just 34% of the country approves of the way Biden “is handling his job as president,” while 66% disapprove, putting him underwater by a shell-shocking 32 points.

That’s the worst net approval rating Biden has posted in the poll since taking office. It appears that the president’s decision to go back on his word and pardon his son, Hunter Biden, for any crimes he may have committed over a more than decade-long period, may have contributed to his plummeting popularity. Just 29% of respondents said they approved of the pardon, while 71% disapproved.

Fifty-three percent, meanwhile, say that they approved of the way President-elect Donald Trump handled his job during his first term in office.

Biden has not achieved a positive net approval rating since July 2021. His previous low of -30 came this summer.

Biden’s favorability rating stands a similarly dismal -25. Harris follows him at -16, while Vice President-elect JD Vance comes in at -12. Trump boasts the best showing of the four at -1.

The survey was conducted between December 2-11 and has a margin of error of 3.6%.

I'm sure more than a few of those disapproving of the Hunter Biden pardon would be well onboard with a Trump blanket pardon for the Jan 6th 'patriots'.

US politics is so crushingly polarised that polls like this are utterly meaningless.

MSNBC is toast and CNN on the verge of collapsing. Meanwhile Fox News continues to surge. Near 75% of the total audience. Literally Trump has his state media.

Yes, because New York and Massachusetts were swing states and that's the primary reason there was a market for fraudulent licenses.

Oh, wait . . . .

I read a stat recently that around 30-40% of college students have fake ID's by the time they reach their second year.

Fox News attracts a varied audience, with only a third being staunch Republicans Broockman and Kalla (2023b). It also draws 10% independents and 25% Democrats, suggesting a sizeable portion of its viewers are open to political persuasion.

This is an excellent analysis that concludes that Fox itself is actually causing a right-ward shift in voting behavior, preferences, and policy priorities.

We often hear that Fox News is only watched by old white people, right?

Frequency of watching Fox News in the U.S. 2023, by age group ​

During a survey held in the U.S. in spring 2023, it was found that adults aged above 45 years were the most likely to say they never watched Fox News, with more than double the share of those aged 45 to 64 years or 65 years or above saying they never tuned into the news channel than adults aged 18 to 29 years. Similarly, 20 percent of adults in the latter age bracket watched Fox News weekly, compared to only one percent of adults aged 65 or older.​

Fox News viewers (34% of American adults in the January 2018 NBC/WSJ poll) are often typecast as being old and white. In fact, according to the same January 2018 NBC/WSJ poll, the 21% of Americans who watch MSNBC are also slightly older. And, MSNBC viewers are nearly as likely to be white as those who watch Fox News. Additionally, when it comes to their self-described economic circumstance, they are essentially identical.

Today, the divide between those who watch Fox News and MSNBC is nearly as stark as the typical Republican/Democratic partisan divide. Fox News watchers give President Trump a 64% approve-34% disapprove rating, while MSNBC viewers disapprove at a rate of 21% approve-78% disapprove. However, there...

Yeah and the states of New York and Massachusetts are the only states where illegals can obtain drivers licenses.

How many states did Harris win that had voter ID laws??

Illegal aliens are also counted in the census meaning they already have an influence on presidential elections.
