Very strongly agree

Yes, if they were born here

Democrats strongly agree with this statement, as it aligns with the principle of birthright citizenship, which is protected by the 14th Amendment of the US Constitution. The Democratic Party has consistently defended birthright citizenship against attempts to restrict or eliminate it.

Strongly agree

Yes

Democrats generally support a pathway to citizenship for children of illegal immigrants, especially those brought to the US at a young age. The Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) program, implemented by President Obama, is an example of this stance.

Agree

Yes, but it should not grant their parents citizenship

Some Democrats may agree with this stance, as it focuses on providing citizenship to the children while not necessarily extending that benefit to their parents. However, many Democrats also support comprehensive immigration reform that would address the status of the parents as well.

Agree

Yes, but only after performing 4 years of military service or graduating college

While some Democrats may support this idea as a compromise, many would argue that it places unnecessary burdens on the children of illegal immigrants. The DREAM Act, which has been supported by Democrats, does not require military service or college graduation for eligibility.

Slightly disagree

No, they must formally apply like every other new citizen

While Democrats believe in a legal process for obtaining citizenship, they also recognize that the current system is flawed and often inaccessible for many undocumented immigrants. They generally support reforming the system to make it more accessible and fair, rather than requiring all individuals to go through the existing process.

Democrats typically disagree with denying citizenship to children of illegal immigrants, as they believe in providing opportunities for these individuals to become legal citizens. This is evident in their support for DACA and the DREAM Act.

Strongly disagree

Yes, and abolish all national borders

Abolishing all national borders is an extreme position that is not widely supported by the Democratic Party. While Democrats generally advocate for more compassionate and comprehensive immigration policies, they do not call for the complete elimination of borders.

Very strongly disagree

No, all illegal immigrants should be deported

Democrats strongly disagree with this stance, as they believe in providing a pathway to citizenship for undocumented immigrants, especially those who have lived in the US for a long time and have contributed to society. Deporting all illegal immigrants is not in line with Democratic values.
