Immigrants or Illegal immigrants? There is a world of difference.
Legal immigrants tend to do ok, especially European and Asian immigrants.
Blacks suffer from a tough stereotype as do gays. I'm going to say Blacks and Gays have it the hardest to be accepted.
I would go with the same. No way should illegal aliens be accepted anyway if the poll is about those here legally of any of those groups.

I think rednecks should have been added to the poll as well...NOBODY but another redneck accepts or likes us and if there is alcohol involved,racing or competitive fishing then we do not even like each other.
I just finished working on a voter outreach campaign. Was driving a van around dropping off and picking up people who were doing door to door canvassing. Had a crew of twelve people, two of whom were black, one of whom was flamboyantly gay, and one of whom was an immigrant. The police were called on my guys 6 times in three weeks. All six times it was the black canvassers who had had the police called on them. Not blaming the police, they were just doing their job and would leave us alone once they realized we were just doing political canvassing. But the entire situation is worth pointing out nonetheless. No one else had the police called on them, just the two black guys. Their only crime being black.
Define "society." We voted twice to elect a black President so I think blacks no longer have the crown as most difficult to be accepted by society. Immigrants are largely accepted in USA society but people often object to the illegal immigrants as law breakers. Gays are accepted in large areas of society but I think probably have a harder time in some areas of society than the other 2.

Blacks easily. Slavery never really ended in some places. It
simply changed hands.
