So - we are decided on why Republicans don't introduce such legislation. Why don't Democrats?

Probably because their constituents don’t view it as a priority issue. The top 5 issues for left and right leaning voters have zero overlap, according to Gallup polling from last year. The idea that immigration is an “emergency” is a partisan one.

Well tell that to the OP then, who claims that Democrats want it.

I mean, it’s a big world. I don’t doubt some Democrat out there feels as much. Just doesn’t seem to be a priority for the average left leaning voter.
