The first Republican presidential debate is fast approaching on Aug. 23, when candidates will hope to close the gap on former President Donald Trump and separate from the rest of the pack. In this series, Up For Debate, the Washington Examiner will look at a key issue or policy every day up until debate day and where key candidates stand. Today's story will examine immigration and border security.
June polling from the nonpartisan Pew Research Center revealed that illegal immigration was a top 10 concern for the public. Immigration is an even bigger issue with Republican voters. In March, immigration outranked every other issue aside from the economy.

Although Democrats blasted him for flying a plane of immigrants from the Texas border to Martha's Vineyard last year, Republicans at his Texas event cheered at the mention of it.Sen. Tim Scott made his inaugural border visit in late July and dropped by Yuma, Arizona, to hear from local officials about the impact that the mass crossings have had on the border city for the past several years.
He would also designate Mexican drug cartels as terrorists, deploy more military to the border, and force cities and states to work with federal officers making arrests of criminal illegal immigrants in communities.Former South Carolina Gov. Nikki Haley spent a day exploring the border in Texas in early April and pitched a long-term plan to fix outdated immigration protocols.
