Respondents were asked, "For each of the following statements, please indicate whether you “strongly agree”, “somewhat agree”, “somewhat disagree”, or “strongly disagree”: Newcomers from other countries enrich Texas with their hard work and values."

Ideology is measured on a scale of 1-7, with 1 corresponding to "extremely liberal", 7 corresponding to "extremely conservative, and 4 corresponding to "in the middle." For the purposes of this table, respondents who placed themselves at or between points 1 and 3 on the scale are considered "liberal," respondents who placed themselves at point 4 on the scale are considered "moderate," and respondents who placed themselves at or between points 5 and 7 on the scale are considered conservative.
