China News Service, January 12. According to US media reports on the 11th, the latest poll shows that 79% of Americans believe that Dreamers should be allowed to continue to stay in the United States and apply for citizenship.

According to reports, on the 11th, more than 100 major companies, including Google, Amazon, Apple, Microsoft, and General Motors, published full-page reports in major newspapers urging Congress to protect Dreamers. These large companies said in letters published in the New York Times and Wall Street Journal: "The end of the DACA program will create a labor crisis across the country."

A Quinnipiac poll pointed out that another 7% of respondents said that Dreamers should stay in the United States, but cannot become American citizens; only 11% believed that Dreamers should be repatriated. In addition, more than 60% of voters oppose building a border wall on the US-Mexico border, while only 34% support it.

The poll also showed that nearly 80% of Republicans support the construction of a border wall, while 19% oppose it; white voters without a college degree are almost equally divided on this issue, with 47% supporting and 49% opposing. The rest of the group, across party lines, genders, education levels, ages and races, all vehemently oppose building a border wall.

Malloy, assistant director of the Quinnipiac University Poll, said that when it comes to immigration, voters firmly stated that "dreams cannot be destroyed."

At the same time, White House senior adviser Kellyanne Conway said recently that Trump "found" that there is no need to build a "substantial border wall" on the entire southern border, and it is expected that part of it will be a real fence, while the other part will preferably be technology.

In addition, many large companies are asking Congress to take immediate action to assist employees who will lose the protection of the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) program by March.
