I think the question of who would be tougher on immigration - Trump, Cruz, or Rubio - has been answered. Nobody in this country illegally deserves a path to citizenship. This is a pathetic opening position for negotiating an immigration deal with Democrats.

This would be a bad deal no matter how much money Congress agreed to spend on a wall.

Disagree. Cruz was never going to get any deal done, thus no wall. Let's give it some time to shake out.

No way to get 60 votes on a conservative position on immigration. Hell, probably couldn't get 50. I blame McConnell for not using nuclear option. At any time in the future that Dems retake control of Senate, they will immediately go nuclear. Then McConnell will look like one of the biggest fools in the history of the country when they reverse anything resembling conservative policy.
