“Dreamers should stay, American voters Say 8-1, Quinnipiac University national poll finds.” Is that one outlier Stephen Miller?
Undocumented immigrants brought to the U.S. as children, so-called "Dreamers," should be allowed to remain in the U.S. and apply for citizenship, 79 percent of American voters say in a Quinnipiac University National Poll released today. Another 7 percent say Dreamers should be allowed to stay but not apply for citizenship, and 11 percent say Dreamers should be required to leave the U.S.
Allowing Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) recipients to stay isn’t even remotely a controversial issue. What is controversial is the GOP-led Congress’s refusal to take up the DREAM Act now:
Support for allowing Dreamers to stay and apply for citizenship ranges from 64 percent among Republicans to 92 percent among Democrats, the independent Quinnipiac (KWIN-uh-pe-ack) University Poll finds.
What Americans overall don’t want, however, is Donald Trump’s border wall obsession:
American voters oppose 63 - 34 percent building a wall along the border with Mexico. Republicans support The Wall 78 - 19 percent and white voters with no college degree are divided with 47 percent supporting The Wall and 49 percent opposed. Every other party, gender, education, age and racial group opposes The Wall.
Sad!
