Immigration Continues to Divide Republicans

“The latest round of Republican primaries shows that immigration policy continues to vex a party looking for its next standard-bearer amid a battle between its establishment and tea-party wings,” the Wall Street Journal reports.

“Perhaps no other issue better illustrates the fault line in the GOP between a political class seeking to build a national coalition and grass-roots activists pushing to reinforce conservative ideology. Both sides are trying to leverage the results of Tuesday’s primaries to rally support for their cause, while potential presidential contenders struggle to find their footing.”
