Fox News: “Rare Partisan Agreement” on DREAMers

Would you look at that? Another poll saying a huge majority of Americans want to protect DREAMers. Yesterday’s Fox News poll talks about record highs—and aren’t referring to the weather.
 
Highlights here:
 
The poll finds a record-high 83 percent of voters support setting up a system for all illegal immigrants who are currently working in the country to become legal residents, up nine points since last year..”
 
There is rare partisan agreement on all fronts.”
 
“Democrats (66 percent), Republicans (60 percent) and independents (59 percent) all agree it is important Congress work on Dreamer legislation. Partisans are also in sync on granting work permits and U.S. citizenship to these individuals, as majorities of Democrats, Republicans, and independents favor both actions.”
 
Setting up a system to legalize undocumented immigrants working in the U.S. also receives bipartisan support: most Democrats (95 percent legalize vs. 4 percent deport), Republicans (69-28 percent) and independents (82-13 percent) want legalization to happen.”
