If you can find a poll to support your contention it makes no difference, please provide a link.

If there is a lack of desire for immigration among the voting public, and based on that lack of desire or based on their own personal lack of desire, lawmakers creates laws which restricts immigration to the U.S. , yes legal immigration under those laws are guaranteed to be accepted more than illegal immigration. That is one of the purposes of immigration laws. To allow more (certain?) people in when desire is high and allow less people in when desire is low.
I don’t have surveys. I do have a brief history of U.S. immigration policy ironically from the Cato Institute which tells us a bit of what actions we have taken and why. Very little if anything in the country’s immigration debate is new. Check out the section about The Bracero Program.
