Americans Oppose Border Walls, Favor Dealing With DACA (Gallup)
Gallup ^ | June 20, 2018 | Frank Newport

Posted on 06/20/2018 7:28:16 AM PDT by yesthatjallen

41% favor expanding construction of walls along U.S.-Mexico border

83% approve of allowing DACA immigrants to become citizens

Republicans, Democrats agree on DACA, disagree on walls

The majority of Americans (57%) oppose expanding the construction of walls along the nation's Southern border, a centerpiece of President Donald Trump's proposed immigration-related policies. At the same time, a large majority of Americans favor allowing immigrants brought into the country illegally as children to have a pathway to U.S. citizenship. Both proposals are included in at least one of the two Republican-sponsored bills the U.S. House of Representatives is preparing to vote on this week.

Americans also modestly oppose the idea of ending the policy of allowing immigrants who are legally in the U.S. to sponsor relatives to move to the country. Slightly more favor than oppose banning "sanctuary cities."

Remember, polls aren't meant to tell you what people think. Polls are meant to tell you how you should think.

Agreed. So says this organization (among many similar others) who proclaimed two years earlier about the inevitability of a Hillary presidency.

Propaganda polls designed to make opinion, not measure it.

So subjective Gallup uses dishonest methodology to publish fake poll reports.

I don’t believe this data.

Method matters.

How about polling only registered voters? Excluding all other classes...like illegal aliens.

Any poll of “Americans” is completely worthless on any and all subjects.

Would never believe a Gallup poll.

Anyway, walls mean no more Mexican children concentration camps. /s If they can’t cross the border, we can’t lock them up in cages. Liberals should love walls.

While I agree with that statement, hasn’t every poll on DACA come back with a strong majority in favor? Polls should not be used to drive policy but Congress is elected to represent the will of the people, and even if polls are effective in manipulating public opinion, then the result is the same.

Nobody I know is against a wall or deporting illegal aliens. I guess it depends on who they ask.

“Results for this Gallup poll are based on telephone interviews conducted June 1-13, 2018, with a random sample of 1,520 adults, aged 18 and older, living in all 50 U.S. states and the District of Columbia.”

Fake poll.

For the immigration questions, this was a sample of about 750 random adults. About 70% were reached on cellphones.

In other words, it’s a junk poll. Meaningless.

They never ask me.
I am opposed to any amnesty.
DACA was illegal at its inception and is still illegal today.
They are still illegal aliens subject to removal.
Writing new laws to suit those breaking current law is always bad policy.
