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.
