Granting undocumented immigrants legal residency and offering citizenship to DREAMers has never been more popular, with sizable bipartisan majorities favoring both propositions, according to a Fox New poll released Thursday evening. A hefty 86 percent of respondents favored giving work permits and 79 percent backed U.S. citizenship for immigrants under 30 brought here as children — the DREAMers — so long as they passed a background check. More voters said it was extremely or very important for Congress to pass a law to legalize the DREAMers, 62 percent, than to pass a health-care (58 percent) or tax reform bill (52 percent).

A record-high 83 percent favored setting up a process by which all illegal immigrants currently working in the U.S. could get legal residency, including 95 percent of Democrats, 69 percent of Republicans, 82 percent of independents, and 65 percent of people who voted for President Trump, Fox News found.

Trump voters — 85 percent of whom said the president is doing a good job on immigration, versus 39 percent of all voters — also favored citizenship (63 percent) and work permits (75 percent) for DREAMers, and 60 percent said it's important for Congress to work on DREAMer legislation. The poll, conducted by Anderson Robbins Research and Shaw & Co. Research, spoke with 1,017 registered voters nationwide Sept. 24-26 on landlines and cellphones, and has a margin of sampling error of ±3 percentage points. Peter Weber
 
Does this surprise anyone? It aligns with what most Republican voters have been saying about Dreamers all along. Congress (not the President) should take action to establish legal status for Dreamers with no criminal records.

Ok so I went through the methodology of this poll. 44% democrats and 20% independents where surveyed...interesting because only 30% of the population identify as democrat and 40% identify as independent. Why would they over sample democrats and under sample independents?

But back to the poll...so under Obama, twice as many people wanted illegals deported than today? Does this sound right or does it sound like some kind of fuckery going on with this poll.

If this poll IS correct, and this is the TRUE sentiment of the American people, then you have to admit that TRUMP is bringing the country together and Obama was actually the divisive president. So what is it?

Except they sunk the dream act last time it made it to the Senate and were unwilling to work with Obama as he started to enforce immigration like they asked.


The mob is fickle. Fox says dreamers are bad, then they're bad. Trump says dreamers good, then they're good.

Keep in mind that the senate actually voted in favor of it but could not come up with the necessary sixty votes under the senate rules because five democrats defected.

Note further that the democrats controlled both houses of congress in that year.

I know this runs contrary to the official dem narrative that Obama and the dems were all on board but those nasty republicans killed it. Later, Obama inadvertently swerved into the truth and said that he was totally consumed with Obamacare and was not able to meaningfully work the immigration issue- as in actually talking to anyone in the legislative branch- and that his plan was to tackle it after obamacare. However, obamacare went poorly too and he could not get enough dem votes on that either and had to use the reconciliation process and that whole thing sapped his political capital and then he lost his majority in one of the houses at midterms and in both further down the road after that.

Then he came up with the great idea of just not dealing with congress at all and issuing an executive order/action.

There is some truth to what you say, but what were the numbers for the vote on the Republican side?

Let's not turn a blind eye to the obstructionism either, they wouldn't give him anything, and he was actually cordial about willing to work, this buffoon though?

As far as Eo's is concerned, Obama's been under the average, you think Trump will stay under the average?
