Behind the Cruz-Rubio immigration fight(Republicans)


Marco Rubio and Ted Cruz are steadily ramping up their attacks on each other's immigration records, especially as the two Republican presidential candidates are rising in the polls and increasingly on a collision course to take on front-runner Donald Trump. But the seeds of their tussle were planted years ago in the Capitol, when both freshmen senators were on opposite sides of the immigration battle.The issue that is front-and-center for both candidates. Sons of Cuban immigrants, the 44-year-old Republican stars are running for president at a time when the GOP is trying to make inroads with Hispanic voters. But they are also running against Trump, who is dominating polls partially because of his haedline stance on immigration, including building a wall on the border with Mexico and banning all Muslim travel to the U.S.
