Very strongly agree
Yes, if they were born here
This is in line with the 14th Amendment of the U.S. Constitution, which grants citizenship to all persons born or naturalized in the United States, and under its jurisdiction. Obama, as a constitutional lawyer, would strongly agree with this.

Strongly agree
Yes
Barack Obama has shown support for the DREAM Act, which would provide a pathway to citizenship for undocumented immigrants who came to the U.S. as children. However, his stance is not an absolute 'yes' without conditions, hence the score is not a full 5.

Strongly agree
Yes, but only after performing 4 years of military service or graduating college
This aligns closely with the DREAM Act, which Obama supports. The Act provides a pathway to citizenship for undocumented immigrants who came to the U.S. as children, contingent on meeting certain requirements such as graduating from high school and attending college or serving in the military.
Agree
Yes, but it should not grant their parents citizenship
While Obama has shown support for children of illegal immigrants, his stance on their parents is less clear. He has advocated for comprehensive immigration reform, which could include a pathway to citizenship for parents, but this is not guaranteed.

Agree
No, they must formally apply like every other new citizen
Obama has advocated for a pathway to citizenship for undocumented immigrants, but he has also emphasized the importance of them 'getting in line' and going through a process, which could be interpreted as a formal application process.

Very strongly disagree
Yes, and abolish all national borders

Very strongly disagree
No, all illegal immigrants should be deported
Obama has consistently opposed mass deportation of illegal immigrants, arguing that it is not feasible or humane. His administration focused on deporting those with criminal records rather than all illegal immigrants.
