The only thing significant about the Utah primary is that a well-liked, well-established, otherwise conservative Republican hundreds of miles of the Mexico border was barely able to hold his seat in a Primary.
If anyone believes that means the Republican base is ready to grant amnesty to 12 million new mostly-Democrats, along with their parents (who immediately go on Social Security and Medicare, when old enough), and others, they are either dreaming, or administration trolls.
The Republican BASE demands the following:
FIRST - Secure the border with a wall or fence along most of its length.
THEN - Maybe allow the people that are here to work legally, but without any path to citizenship, and with a means to track and deport them if necessary.
MAYBE - Increase legal immigration, but only with a secure border.

Here in Utah among Republican Party regulars Cannon's defeat at convention and his hard push during the primary were widely seen as a double humiliation for Cannon and a strict rejection of his pro-shamesty sentiments--the spin outside of the state by administration sources and the six shamnesty supporters at FR notwithstanding.
