Duh! This has been a festering problem for over 50 years and Trump and Cruz appear to be the only GOP candidates willing to fix it.

As many have pointed out, we lose the country if Dems add 10 million new voters to their roles. Game over.

Abortion, gay marriage, whatever. All irrelevant. Dems will own the nation.

Illegal immigration (and legal) is now an existential threat to our country.

Thank God Trump had the balls to say, “BUILD THE WALL!”

This isn't a "litmus" issue. It is a non-negotiable issue. Why would anybody support someone who wants to contribute to our country's very own demise?

...this may prove problematic for donor-class favorite Sen. Marco Rubio (R-FL), who supports immigration expansions—which Pew Research says are opposed by more than 9 in 10 GOP voters.

That's great to hear that Rubio's ceiling is 10% in the primaries.

You have laws or you don’t. You have borders or you don’t. You have a country or you don’t.

Immigration isn’t left or right issue. It isn’t a conservative or liberal issue. It is an American issue.

just as today a conservative candidate cannot run for president supporting abortion, they can no longer run for president supporting amnesty

That's not too reassuring.

Even though they can't support abortion, it goes on none the less.

I don't want that happening with immigration.

It’s been the raging issue for conservatives that has been purposely stifled by the establishment since at least 2006.

They nominated McAmnesty after TWO amnesty attempts.

The Cheap Labor Express owns the GOP.

Globalists throughout the West are beginning to face challenge from native peoples seeing their homelands evaporate before their eyes.

It isn’t a right/left issue but that is how the Socialist Left likes to pitch it to the sheep. “Oh, wouldn’t want to be one of those right wing extremist hate supremacists!”.

It isn’t strictly in America that they are facing blowback.

“Transformative large-scale immigration” should get you shot on f’ing sight! No one has EVER supported that besides murderers.

Gee, it only took 20 years to notice?

California Proposition 187 (1994)

As Governor, Wilson was closely associated with California Proposition 187, a 1994 ballot initiative to establish a state-run citizenship screening system and prohibit illegal immigrants from using health care, public education, and other social services in California.

“Just as conservative candidates for President cannot be selected if they support abortion, Obamacare or gun control, Ponnuru explains that the new litmus test of conservatism is immigration. Conservatives are now starting to see a candidate’s position on immigration as an index of his conservatism in general, Ponnuru writes.”

Looks like it took the GOPe rough AN ENTIRE DECADE to realize that Immigration is “not just another issue”, but even MORE IMPORTANT to most of us than even gun control...since if you flood the country with Democrats, the GOP position on gun control (or any other issue) simply will not matter (aka, California).

It finally boiled over this campaign. The GOPe can be with us on 100 other issues, but if they’re not with us on immigration, WE ARE THROUGH WITH THEM. They either need to accept what we want and come along, or we will PUSH THEM OUT OF THE WAY.

That simple.

Conservatives are very concerned about immigration for obvious reasons. For example, there will be nothing American left to conserve if we let it become Mexico-North. Like most conservatives, I’m not opposed to immigration under our terms. As long as immigrants want to truly assimilate and fill a particular need—no problem, but that’s not what’s happening. They aren’t assimilating, and they’re taking jobs from Americans. That’s not right and has to stop!

I guess the real question about immigration is - Why do all the other counties in the world suck? Why makes all the other countries so horrible that their people want to leave?

As well it should be. Republican Party/conservatism/America won’t survive unless there’s functional control over immigration.
