While President Joe Biden has carefully maintained that the surge of illegal immigrants pouring over the southern border does not constitute a “crisis,” a new poll shows that only a tiny fraction of his most ardent supporters believe him. Although the legacy media have dedicated ample coverage to Biden’s approval numbers, they have virtually ignored this poll and the broader immigration issue, where the president’s party line has been repudiated even by most of his fellow Democrats.

America’s southern border has so clearly spun out of control that only about one of every four registered Democrats agree with Biden that it is not a “crisis,” according to an Economist/YouGov poll conducted late last month. The national survey found that a mere 27% of registered Democrats agreed “there is no crisis” of illegal immigration, while 49% said the border represents a national crisis, and 24% said they were not sure.
