While President Trump promised an aggressive approach to immigration, a series of new polls

finds public opinion on this issue seems to be shifting. A Gallup poll found just 30% of

Americans believe immigration should be reduced. That's compared to 55% last year. And a new AP poll

out today finds just 43 percent of Americans say the president

supports, say they support the president's handling of this issue. Allie Rogan spoke with one

author whose personal story connects to the larger questions many are asking about immigration

in America.

Amid the public outcry over President Trump's immigration policies, Pulitzer Prize winning journalist Jose Antonio Vargas released a new edition of his memoir, Dear America, Notes of an Undocumented

Citizen. In 2011, he publicly revealed he was an undocumented immigrant and today is once again

stepping into the spotlight to tell his story of how he left the U.S. for the first time since he

arrived as a child to begin his process of becoming documented. Here to talk about the questions

he struggled with and that millions of others may be coping with now.

And so for the first time to get documented, to follow a process that was not available

to me before, I left the country for the first time.
