Unfortunately, propaganda works. The best antidote is emphasis on things you can see firsthand but most people don't know shit about whether or not immigrants are actually responsible for crimes (they mostly aren't). All they get is a small increase in costs of living. So they listen to the talking heads on TV who scapegoat whatever minority or target of the week, and if you tell a lie big enough and keep repeating it, people eventually come to believe it.
