The media offensive against Catahoula Crunch, which is now including ICE and Border Patrol raids in the Baton Rouge area as well as New Orleans, has really been something to see.
Every TV station and print publication in Louisiana is running breathless “human-interest” stories about the poor illegals being packed off to wherever they came from, or the non-illegals who are now scared of the feds – which one might see as a victory lap by the local media; they aimed to make these people panic, and By God they did it.
Or the pissed-off white leftists trying to follow ICE around with whistles to warn their grass-cutters and housemaids that “Trump’s thugs” are coming.
But now there’s a poll showing that EVERYBODY hates Operation Catahoula Crunch…
A new poll commissioned by the “For Our Future” PAC shows that likely voters in New Orleans overwhelmingly oppose the deployment of federal immigration agents in the city.
The survey, conducted by JMC Analytics and Polling, found that 79% of likely voters oppose or strongly oppose the deployment of ICE or Border Patrol to New Orleans. The same group of respondents also reported a negative view of Gov. Jeff Landry, with 77% responding they have a somewhat or very unfavorable opinion of him.
The poll was conducted in late November, before full immigration sweeps began in the New Orleans area. JMC Analytics sampled 500 voters through a mix of text messages and calls to both cell phones and landlines, with responses distributed fairly evenly across all City Council districts.
Results showed a sharp divide along party lines. Among Republican voters, 72% strongly favor or favor the deployment of federal agents, while 24% oppose or strongly oppose it. Among Democrats, 7% strongly favor or favor such a deployment, while 89% oppose or strongly oppose it.
Despite the partisan split, the poll found that overall opposition did not vary significantly by race, gender or council district.
Well, gosh. That sounds pretty bad.
Our guess is the poll is probably accurate, too.
Especially since For Our Future PAC had John Couvillon poll only Orleans Parish.
Would it surprise you to know that Kamala Harris got eighty-two percent of the vote in Orleans Parish last year? Or that Jeff Landry only got 10 percent?
Poll Orleans Parish and you’ll get an extreme outlier of a result compared to everywhere else in southeast Louisiana. So – shockingly – that’s what they polled.
The majority of Catahoula Crunch’s operations aren’t in Orleans. They’re in Jefferson. Most of the illegals in the New Orleans area, or a plurality at least, are in Kenner. And if you’re to believe Kenner police chief Keith Conley, Kennerites aren’t all that exercised over ICE and the Border Patrol cleaning out the illegals.
But we’ll go and poll the bluest place in the area and splash the results out there in an effort to make people believe that the whole New Orleans metro is for the illegals and against the deportations.
And then WWL-TV and all of the other low-rent corporate-media shills will amplify them in a fake-it-til-you-make-it effort at shaping the narrative.
We don’t think this works anymore, but with this kind of effort being put into the propaganda push, it’s entirely possible we could be wrong.
If anything, we’re disappointed in the numbers. By now we’d like to see thousands of illegals rounded up and put on planes home, rather than a couple hundred so far. But if Catahoula Crunch is motivating these people to self-deport, so much the better. It’ll save us money on deportations, it’ll mean fewer uninsured drivers on the roads and likely less upward pressure on insurance rates, it’ll free up low-cost housing for Americans in southeastern Louisiana, it’ll push up wages, make healthcare more easily accessible and relieve crowding and chaos in public schools. All of those are good things which will increase the quality of life for Americans who live here.
All of which constitutes pearls before swine among the pig-ignorant voters of Orleans Parish. But, contra For Our Future PAC, Orleans voters aren’t the only ones who matter.
