The part that cracked me up was they asked about feelings towards 'new immigrants'-- and Americans gave them a higher rating than they gave Democrats (but not quite as high as they gave Republicans). They also asked about feelings towards 'undocumented immigrants', and they scored the lowest of any group tested by a considerable amount. Even avoiding the term "illegal aliens" did not soften the results.Good. It's not just me. I bet if they had said "legal immigrants" instead of "new immigrants" the gap would have been even bigger.
The poll is here under June 2005 National Survey.
