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.

The GOP leadership has already told us that they are surrendering the new filibuster rule back to Democrats as a first order of business.
The GOP leadership plans to pass an omnibus spending bill or a yearlong stopgap funding measure that would keep the federal government operating until the end of the fiscal year on Sept. 30 during the lame duck session, BEFORE a new congress is seated - eliminating from them the power of the purse and funding Obama’s entire agenda.
Of course they are going to push amnesty for illegal Mexicans.
The GOP wants Conservatives replaced with a new constituency loyal to government.
they also get in-state college tuition that Americans from other states do not get
not doing that would be “heartless” says Rick Perry
Yeah, the amnesty pimps are reduced to dishonestly recycling old slogans. Lying sacks o crap.
and you have a lot of RINO’s, like Scott Walker who not only like amnesty but think it is wrong for conservatives to challenge sitting GOP members in the primaries.
Sellout. Another RINO that does not get it. I knew that these scumbags will come to the wrong conclusion if they have a good election cycle.
Do you really believe that we'll see real opposition by the Republicans on this matter?
Coryn is blowing smoke here. The GOP leadership is fine with the kenyan taking all the heat and doing executive action amnesty.
The first order of business for the GOP after the election is to fund the obama agenda. Then they will give us a bunch of fake “opposition” after obama cashes his check.
Get ready for a lot of “we have to wait until we get the White House” from the beltway GOP.
exactly.
We could see this coming years and years ago
You know this, I know this, but there's a lot of people (e.g. vote GOP, we can hold their feet to the fire!
) who don't seem to get it.
They are never going to get it - they have a fatal case of Normalcy Bias or are Party Hack Loyalists who operate as stormtroopers for the party.
we pretty much know what it will look like
Yeah and there’s silence from them on repealing ObamaCare now, too.
But don’t worry, the people screeching at us to VOTE REPUBLICAN!!! are going to “hold their feet to the fire.”
Sadly if amnesty is passed, America is dead and the communists coup will be completed.
Any future elections become totally meaningless.
Hopefully when Amnesty comes to us via the GOP, the voters that elect them will have new neighbors. I think that’s only fair. Because it’s all on their heads. So let them suffer the consequence of their actions with a smile.
” If they don’t stand for anything then how can we be surprised when the GOPe won’t stand against anything? “
Post of the day.
I have no doubt that amnesty is coming and the Repubs will sign off on it.
In fact some conservatives have put a spin on it as to BENEFIT us.

It runs a lot deeper than that. The Chamber of Commerce wants an endless supply of cheap labor, and they have spent tens of millions making sure Tea Party candidates lost this year.
CWII Spark Ping — They’re telegraphing their intent to replace Americans with others.
Well quit doing that, quit making lists and pinging us to threads that we aren’t even on to continue whatever grudges that you evidently carry from thread to thread, we don’t, we don’t have any idea what goes on your head, or what was said on some long forgotten thread, or why it is supposed to mean that you create ping lists for other threads.
So why should I vote for the traitor RINOs? They are no better than the dems.
