SCHERTZ, TX – Sen. John Cornyn (R-TX) is fighting for his political life after cutting a bipartisan gun-control deal. But if the 74-year-old survives a bruising GOP primary and wins reelection, he’s signaling he won’t abandon deal-making — this time turning to immigration reform with President Donald Trump.

Cornyn said the moment could be perfect for Trump to lead on the issue since the border is secure and the administration was deporting illegal immigrants with serious criminal records.
