Nearly half of Republican-leaning Americans said they would like to see a legal pathway for undocumented immigrants to remain in the U.S.
The majority of Americans believe it is important for the U.S. to establish a way for most undocumented immigrants in the country to remain here legally, a new study has found., which were published on Tuesday, comes as the Supreme Court deliberates over whether the Trump administration can legally end the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals program.
While support for a pathway for undocumented immigrants to remain in the U.S. fell largely along party lines, nearly half of Republican and Republican-leaning participants said they were in favor of the idea. Seventy-three percent of the 9,895 respondents who were surveyed between September 3 and 15 said they felt it was important for the U.S. to take in refugees, with Republicans showing greater support for that goal than in previous years.
Around 9 in 10 Republicans said they were in favor of increasing security at the border, while about half of Democrats and Democratic-leaning respondents said they believed it was an important bid. Meanwhile, among Democrats, support for that bid was much lower, with around just three-in-10 in favor of boosting deportations and only 10 percent calling it a"very important" goal."
If the program does come to an end, the thousands of people who benefit the program, as well as the many who might have applied for DACA protections in the future could face deportation from the U.S.on Monday, Carolina Fung Feng, a DACA recipient and plaintiff in one of the cases before the Supreme Court, said that if the Supreme Court rules in the Trump administration's favor, she could lose her job and be deported back to a country that she left when she was 12-years-old.
