Fewer than 30 percent of Americans support shutting down the government to extend legal status for young undocumented immigrants, according to a new poll by the Trump-aligned group America First, provided to the Washington Examiner.
Fifty-nine percent of respondents said they would not be supportive of blocking a short-term measure to fund the government over legal status for so-called "Dreamers," a strategy Senate Democrats are currently pursuing to the frustration of their GOP colleagues.
Meanwhile, just 28 percent of Americans said they would back the Democratic plan to kill the spending bill since it does not include protections for recipients of the Obama-era Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals program.
