8:42 PM ET
The vast majority of American voters consider the increasing number of migrants arriving at the southern border a crisis, according to a recent poll.
A Harvard CAPS-Harris poll on Monday found that 80% of respondents said the current situation at the border is a crisis that needs to be addressed immediately, while just 20% said it was something that can be dealt with by the immigration system we have currently.
A majority of voters also said unaccompanied minors who crossed the southern border were being kept in humane conditions. Among those polled, 54% of respondents said detained migrant children have been treated humanely, though 46% said they have been treated inhumanely.
