Supplementary notes
During the survey, this question was posed as follows: "What should be the priority for dealing with illegal immigration in the U.S.? [Randomize; (one) better border security and stronger enforcement of our immigration laws; or (two) creating a way for illegal immigrants already here to become citizens if they meet certain requirements] or should both be given equal priority?"
