Well, that didn't take long.
At
Thursday night's Republican debate in Houston, the gloves came off
early between Donald Trump, Marco Rubio and Ted Cruz on illegal
immigration. It's been an issue that's
pitted Rubio and Cruz against each other in recent debates, but they
found common cause Thursday.
Trump
started things off, when asked by Wolf Blitzer about differences
between his plan on immigration and Cruz's, saying that the Texas
senator was "in charge of amnesty."
He also defended his proposal, saying "the best of them will come back.
But they're going to come back through a process."
When
the questioning made its way to Rubio, things escalated. He said most
of Trump's stances on undocumented immigrants were "new" to him and
jabbed at him for bringing
in people from other countries to work for him.
Trump defended his past business practices, saying "you could not get help" for certain seasonal jobs otherwise.
Rubio
then upped the ante by saying the New York billionaire was "the only
person" who'd been fined for hiring someone illegally, noting a past
case when Trump had been
cited for hiring Polish workers.
"I'm
the only person on this stage that's hired people," Trump fired back.
When Rubio tried to interject during his answer, Trump said "just be
quiet."
Cruz
then got in on things, saying something we haven't heard recently:
"Marco is exactly right." It was a reference to the case involving
Polish workers Rubio had cited.
He also hit Trump for some of his past donations to members of the
Senate in the "Gang of Eight" immigration overhaul effort.
Trump
said he's had an "amazing relationship with politicians" and hit Cruz
for not having a single Republican Senate colleague's endorsement.
It could be an interesting two hours.
