During a debate with Democratic challenger David Alameel, Texas Sen. John Cornyn said it is time to reach a "consensus" on immigration reform by "finding parts that we agree on," including providing children of illegal immigrants access to education.
"I believe education is the way out," the Republican said.
He added that the children of parents "who did not comply with our immigration laws are guilty of nothing," and "it makes no sense to condemn them to a minimum-wage job for the rest of their lives when they could produce so much more, when they could be so much more. They would benefit, their families would benefit, and our nation would benefit."
The debate, hosted by KUVN and Univision 23, was little more than a formality as the latest CBS News/YouGov poll finds Cornyn with a 57 percent to 35 percent lead over Alameel.
The debate marked the latest in a series of comments and remarks that indicate Cornyn's positions on some aspects of immigration reform are softening.
"We have a broken immigration system and I am one who would like to fix it.

I’m unfamiliar w/ that one.
“Told ya the Republican party had no intention of standing against amnesty. “
Now, now Sharkie- our GOP heroes stand firmly against Amnesty!
What they support is Regularization©
There is a huge difference. And it’s.. um... something.. and I guarantee you will like it.

You are very mistaken. This is a center right country and our population is ripe for the Conservative message. Just consider when an actual Conservative survives the GOP attacks in the primaries, their wins are generally by much bigger margins than the middling GOP candidates.
In the last 2 POTUS elections, the GOP ran progressive candidates and there was not a clear difference between them. The message of “we can run a big government better than they can,” is a losing message.
The populace is ripe for the Conservative message of liberty and freedom. Today’s GOP doesn’t care about promoting those things, they only care about “being in charge of the big government programs.”
Did you ever consider the reason that Democrats always run well to the conservative side of the Dem message? It is because the progressive message is a losing issue when they are honest about it.
“We have a patriotism-free ruling class.”
I’m borrowing that.
Honestly, none of the mechanics anywhere in this govt apply anymore in any capacity. They simply do whatever they feel like and rules, norms and the rest simply don’t apply.
I mean we have people now getting support from racist Dems to elect Cochran, we hace Obama EOing his way to kingship and we have courts that discount law for liberal agenda.
They will do what they wilt and it shalt be the whole of the law.

Huh? What do you mean?
Really, I don’t know why Americans take so much sh*t from the gang of thieves in charge.
But all of our resident FR conservative apologist promised us their Republican overlords would listen to us this time, really!
Suckers...
not
The foreign born workforce has now reached 25 million. What could go wrong?
It is better to fill both than to leave blank for someone else to use.
Yea I saw a Constitution Party choice on my ballot to vote against GOP-E Lamoderate DeLiberal Alexander and that's certainly what I did too. I'll write in my dog before I'll vote for a Liberal Republican ever again.
what exactly are you advocating?
Are you campaigning for UDALL?
or are we to vote DEM against Cornyn? or for the Libertarian?
In Iowa or SD, we can vote for the GOP candidate?
Are you doing public endorsements?
Why would I vote blank on Cornyn? Illogical. I’d vote for one of the other candidates.
“Sadly if amnesty is passed, America is dead and the communists coup will be completed.
Any future elections become totally meaningless.”
That’s what I’ve been saying for over a decade now. These GOP idiots saying that it’s only ONE issue are clueless. It is one issue that effects every single other issue. It will destroy what is left of this once great nation.
