    The question was:

    Do you strongly agree, agree, disagree, or strongly disagree with the following statements

    The statements:

    1. “You have friends with political views different from your own.”
    2. “All immigrants who came to New Zealand illegally should be deported.”
    3. “New Zealanders may have to resort to violence in order to get the country back on track.”

    Based on 1,000 responses, we’re 14% vs America’s 30%.

      Illegal immigration? How are immigrants coming to NZ illegally? What a weird thing to ask.

      That’s an example of a priming question. Like asking “do you think criminals should be prosecuted”. It primes your response for the next question. It persuades the person to think there is a rampant and problematic flood of illegal immigration into the country.

          There are records of them entering so I presume it’s trivial to identify them and deal with them.

          But is this somehow a problem? Are they taking our jobs or violating our women or something?
