Illegal Immigrants and Tuition Rate (February 2017)

More Respondents were asked, "Should illegal immigrants who have graduated from Texas high schools, lived in the state for at least three years, and applied for citizenship receive in-state tuition rates at Texas public colleges and universities, or should they have to pay the higher tuition rate for out of-state students?" 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.
