The answer is D: Rather than mass deportations, Americans are far more likely to support a path to citizenship for those who are already here.

Explanation for each option:

(A) Less than half of Americans support the policy that began under President Obama allowing so-called "Dreamers" to stay in the United States.

  • This statement is incorrect. Various polls have shown that a significant majority of Americans support allowing "Dreamers" (undocumented immigrants who were brought to the U.S. as children) to stay in the country. For example, a Pew Research Center survey from 2017 found that 74% of Americans favored granting permanent legal status to Dreamers.

(B) Most Americans support building a wall along the U.S.-Mexican border.

  • This statement is also incorrect. While there is a significant portion of the population that supports building a wall, it is not a majority. Polls have shown that opinions on this issue are deeply divided, with many Americans opposing the construction of a border wall.

(C) Americans are very concerned about illegal immigration and say that it is one of the most important issues for President Trump.

  • This statement is partially correct. Illegal immigration has been a significant concern for many Americans, and it was a key issue during President Trump's administration. However, this statement does not address the specific sentiment towards policies regarding illegal immigration.

(D) Rather than mass deportations, Americans are far more likely to support a path to citizenship for those who are already here.

  • This statement is correct. Numerous surveys and polls have indicated that a majority of Americans prefer providing a path to citizenship for undocumented immigrants who are already in the country over mass deportations. For instance, a Gallup poll from 2018 found that 83% of Americans supported a pathway to citizenship for undocumented immigrants.
