Harrier took the immigration questions as referring to legal immigration.

I don't agree with Pew's characterization of "highly negative attitudes toward immigrants". I hold negative attitudes toward the illegal immigrant issue (and the shenanigans Obama is using to confer legal status on the recent wave of immigrants); I don't hold negative attitudes towards immigrants as people. The distinction is real but liberals don't seem to get the nuance.
But the question in the poll was about those who come here the right way.

That would make coming here wrongly the left way.

One day, you will be able to have a serious discussion on this forum without trying to degrade those on the other side of the aisle.

Right off the bat.....regulations are important but what we get usually does more harm than good. There is no "close" answer there.

Do you deny that liberals support amnesty for illegal immigrants, giving illegal immigrants drivers licenses, allowing illegal immigrants to practice law, letting illegal immigrants attend universities while paying in-state tuition, and oppose voter ID laws which would help prevent illegal immigrants from voting in our elections?

Do some Liberals, yes, do all liberals, no.

There are those on the right who support all the things you just posted as well

Illegal Immigrants dont vote. They dont even have the ability to register to vote because they do not have Social security numbers or drivers licences.

If an illegal immigrant is on a Voter roll then someone screwed up. and the laws you support wont fix human error.

The quiz questions about immigration are:

"The growing number of newcomers from other countries threatens traditional American customs and values."
"The growing number of newcomers from other countries strengthens American society."

and

"Immigrants today strengthen our country because of their hard work and talents".

"Immigrants today are a burden on our country because they take our jobs, housing and health care."

The quiz doesn't distinguish between legal and illegal immigration.
