Aug. 13 (UPI) -- Support for refugees appears to be growing in the United States with 57 percent of Americans approving of allowing refugees from Central America into the country, a new Gallup survey shows.
That's up from 51 percent in December when a dispute over President Donald Trump's proposal to build a wall along the Mexico border led to a partial government shutdown. Support for the Central American refugees is higher than any other group of refugees, including Syrians in 2015, all the way back to Jews during the German Holocaust in the 1930s and 1940s, Gallup reported.
