GOP Haunted by Immigration Fight

NBC News: “The year 2013 isn’t exactly ancient history. But the ghosts of that year’s Senate immigration fight are coming back to haunt the Republican Party… The GOP’s center of gravity on immigration really has shifted since 2013, when citizenship and the length of the timeline to get to it – rather than just legalization itself- was the bigger question mark for most Republican lawmakers. And as Cruz’s then-support for increasing H1B visas illustrates, expressing concern about LEGAL immigration levels was less in vogue than it is in today’s GOP.”

“Whether it’s the Trump effect or where the electorate really has been all along, the ground has shifted under these senators’ feet in a very short amount of time.”
