Mexican Immigrant Survey

Exit Survey

How pressing of an issue do you think immigrant rights is?

It's very important; their lack of rights is one of the biggest injustices in our society today.

It's an issue, but there are other problems that are more important.

Immigrants have enough rights already. It's not an issue.

I don't have an opinion or I'm not sure.

If it were up to you, what would you do to address the issue of immigrant rights?

I would get rid of the Border Patrol. The U.S. should have open borders.

I would give every immigrant who has been in the U.S. for at least five years or who has had children in the U.S full citizenship.

I wouldn't do anything.

I would send all immigrants without documentation back to their native countries. It's not the U.S's problem.

California is home to nearly one quarter (23%) of the undocumented immigrants in the U.S. Do you think this means that California's immigration policy impacts national policy?

Yes, it has a significant impact.

Eh, it kinda affects national immigration policy.

No, it has no impact.

I don't know.

Do you think the fact that California used to be part of Mexico should affect how California treats Mexican immigrants? How?

Yes, anyone from Mexico in California should be given full citizenship, even if they're undocumented. Also, it should be easier for Mexicans to emigrate to California.

Yes, it should be easier for Mexicans to emigrate to California.

No, it shouldn't have any effect on their treatment.

Yes, Mexican immigrants should be treated harshly so it is reinforced that California belongs to the U.S, not Mexico.

Currently, do you think it's easy or difficult for a Mexican person to gain U.S citizenship?

It's easy.

It's difficult.

Do you think that undocumented Mexican immigrants are treated fairly by the U.S government?

Yes, they're treated fairly.

No, they aren't treated fairly.

Do you agree or disagree with the U.S government's current policy of deporting all illegal immigrants?

I agree with it.

I disagree with it.

Do you think undocumented (illegal) Mexican immigrants should be given a path to citizenship?

Yes, they should.

No, they shouldn't.

It depends on the circumstances.

What effect do you think Mexican undocumented immigrants have on California's and the U.S's economies?

They have a positive impact.

They have a negative impact.

They have no impact.

Do you think it's racist that the U.S. has an open border with Canada but not with Mexico?

Yes, it's racist.

No, it's not racist.
