New Survey

How The U.S. Public Views Key Immigration Policies

Immigration has been a big topic under the Trump administration, and it's been in special focus over the last few days due to the outrage expressed from across the political spectrum over the separation of children from their parents and the conditions in which they are being held after illegally crossing the Mexican border.

While public opinion on this has been pretty clear, a new survey from Gallup has shed new light on what people in the U.S. think about some other key immigration policies/policy proposals. Of the four selected for the poll, the most support was for the so-called 'Dreamers' - immigrants who were brought to the U.S. illegally as children but may be given the chance to become U.S. citizens if they meet certain requirements over a period of time.
