When are Democrats finally going to accept that illegal immigration is not a winning issue for them? 

Their position only becomes more untenable as time passes.  Without federal dollars from agencies like USAID flowing into NGOs and by extension into far-left activist groups, the Democrat response to ICE deportations across the country has been limited.  No substantial mass marches, no big riots, no mobs at the border trying to throw the gates open.  

"Charity" programs designed to make it easier for migrants to enter the US and access welfare subsidies are fading out because there's no more government cash for these charities to skim.  Once bustling villages on the Mexico side of the southern border are ghost towns.  Border crossings have plunged by 95% since Donald Trump took office.  The Cloward-Piven game is over - Conservatives won.
