As Democrats champion for young illegal immigrants, many Republicans and conservative voters have assumed a different disposition. Firstly, the GOP notes that illegal immigration is a crime and deserves to be treated as such. Republicans have also noted the series of crimes perpetrated by illegal immigrants. Finally, like President Trump, the majority of conservatives and Republicans believe that hard-working Americans are Dreamers as well.
Progressives often note that Dreamers came to America for the sake of bettering their families and achieving dreams. However, American people who were born in this country also have aspirations, ambitions, and goals, affirm members of the GOP. Most conservatives also believe that prioritizing illegal immigrants over Americans and legal immigrants is wrong.
Despite the daily political grandstanding which occurs in the mainstream media, more Americans than one might think support President Trump’s SOTU assertion regarding Dreamers and moreover, view his immigration policies favorably.
