A total of 69% of Americans consider it "not a burden at all." Among minorities, 45% of Blacks and 51% of Hispanics consider it "not a burden at all."
- When asked whether illegal aliens should receive "discounted 'in-state' tuition rates, subsidized by taxpayers, for state-run colleges and universities" 76% of voters disagree, 65% strongly. Among minorities, 58% of Blacks and 59% of Hispanics disagree (8% of Blacks and 31% of Hispanics strongly disagree).
- A majority of voters (58%) believe "We should enforce current laws that require illegal immigrants to return to their home countries." And half of all Americans (50%) believe the United States should change current immigration law to slow the rate of legal immigration.
- Among minorities, 57% of Blacks and 53% of Hispanics agree with the statement, "We should change immigration law to provide legal status to illegal immigrants present in the United States." Only 25% of white respondents agree with that statement.
