By definition, everyone is opposed to illegal immigration, though they might differ in opinion about what immigration should be illegal.

Opposition to "illegal immigration" is practically always just a fig leaf for opposition to immigration. You can verify this easily by asking an opponent of "illegal immigration" whether they think legal immigration should become easier to reduce the incentives for illegal immigration. My counter for those who have answered in the affirmative is currently at zero.

How many have answered in the negative?

I'm not certain. I created a database to keep track of the number, but had to abandon the project due to the prohibitive cost of maintaining it.
