Republicans set a new turnout record Tuesday in New Hampshire’s primary, attracting more than a quarter of a million voters to the polls and offering evidence that most of the energy in the 2016 presidential race continues to be on the GOP side.
Democrats saw a strong turnout, but their two-person race couldn’t recapture the magic of the 2008 battle between Hillary Clinton and then-candidate Barack Obama — a race that presaged Mr. Obama’s eventual cruise to victory in November.

Each state conducts their primaries differently. Are you in New Hampshire?
“Its”
not . . . it's
The issue you bring up is one of the reasons that Trump is and has always been against amnesty from the beginning of the debate about it in the Congress in 2013, as these two articles show:
CPAC 2013: Donald Trump: Immigration reform is a ‘suicide mission’ for GOP

Trump: Immigration Bill a Republican ‘Death Wish’
Here are also some of his tweets from the time of the amnesty debate:
Amnesty is suicide for Republicans.Not one of those 12 million who broke our laws will vote Republican.Obama is laughing at @GOP.
Be weak on immigration and ensure Democratic victory.
Immigration reform is all risk for the @GOP. Their base doesn’t want it and the 12M illegals will all vote Democrat.
Immigration reform really changes the voting scales for the Republicans—for the worse!
Re: immigration. Do the Republicans not realize that Dems will get 100% of 11 million votes no matter what they do?
If radical Cruzers weren’t continually lying about Trump they’d have almost nothing to say about him at all it seems. And that’s a shame, because Trump and Cruz agree on a lot of the most important issues. They don’t even seem to see the contradiction in Cruz arguing that he wouldn’t have a deportation force to drag illegals out of their homes (like he essentially characterized Trump as wanting) to forcibly deport them and Cruz’s false claim that Trump is for touchback amnesty. Of course, all illegals would love and jump at the chance for quick amnesty, so needing a deportation force to remove them would be nonsensical.
Naturally, it’s not nonsensical, because Trump is for simply allowing the non-criminal deported to apply to become legal immigrants in the future, which is a challenging process with strict numerical limitations (plus, Trump has suggested on several occasions the rules for legal immigration should be more merit based to favor the better educated and more accomplished,) and it is a far cry from any form of amnesty (esp. that nonsense Cruz was spouting recently that Trump only wants the deported to touch the ground in their home countries and come back immediately to become citizens—Cruz made that up from thin air, and he knows he’s lying through his teeth about Trump’s positions).
“Trump’s position is clear, leave or get deported and you only come back legally.”
That’s called touch back amnesty.
It was bad before but when Trump want’s it it’s great.
Democrats want amnesty and Trump wants touch back amnesty.
Amnesty is amnesty no matter how you get it.
Why was touch back amnesty bad before but great when Trump comes up with it?
Your meme is STILL a lie, STILL tiresome, and STILL better than Cruz’s plan even if it were true.
In NH, if you were a democrat who wanted to vote in the republican primary, you had to change your registration about a month before the election and then you are now a republican voting in a republican primary.
So now, for the 101st time, democrats could not vote in the republican primary and republicans could not vote in the democrat. Independents can vote in either primary and from what I heard on the radio, they said most chose the democrat primary. I'm sure there were some that switched registrations on both sides of the aisle.
So in review, democrats could not vote in the republican primary and republican could not vote in the democrat primary. It is a very simple concept.
