Dear Fred and Hu,

I updated this document with the questionnaires.

I figured out five dimensions within the immigration items. First dimension is about items on culture and tolerance; second is on economy and job security; third is on national security, crime, and threat to countries; fourth is on items rights of immigrants; five is on country's cuture.

I listed items related to each dimension. Please let me know if you have any comments on these dimensions. I'm always happy to revise it!
