Taping Into The Nation's Sentiments -- Illegal Immigration

One of the main issues being argued these days (like for the last few decades) is illegal immigration into the USA.  President Trump calls the situation at the southern border a national emergency.  The Democrats, especially those running for president, as well as the mainstream media call the same situation a phony emergency.  They say it is just something that the President made up to use for political reasons.  These Democrats do not see illegal immigration as a problem at all.

So what do the nation's voters think about this?  They have a rather clear view.  According to a new poll, 67% of all likely voters think that illegal immigration is a serious problem with a full 47% calling it "very serious."  Only 8% of likely voters say (like the Democrats) that illegal immigration is not at all a serious problem.

These are not close numbers.  In fact, the numbers are so one-sided that I wonder why the Democrats are not changing their position.  The only reason I can see for this is that any change would deliver a major victory to President Trump, and the Democrats would rather deny Trump a victory than do something about a very serious problem.
