Eight top Republicans aiming to become the next US president engaged in a Republican debate on Tuesday night in the Milwaukee Theater in Wisconsin as the White House contest entered a more challenging phase, as reported by The Guardian Tuesday.

Presidential hopefuls engaged themselves into thorough and fiery arguments on the essence of modern conservatism during the two-hour debate.

According to reports, Donald Trump and Jeb Bush debated on the issue of immigration, while Ben Carson's familiarity of foreign affairs and the authenticity of his story were tested during the debate.

"We should vet all candidates, I have no problem with being vetted. What I do have a problem with is being lied about and then putting that out there as truth," Carson says.

The fourth GOP debate was hosted by media outlets The Wall Street Journal and Fox Business Network. WSJ forecasted Tuesday that the Republican debate has given presidential hopefuls the chance to prove their understanding on economics, foreign policy and other matters.

Texas Senator and presidential hopeful Ted Cruz revealed he is against the idea of offering legal status to workers who are undocumented.

"If Republicans join Democrats as the party of amnesty we will lose," Cruz says. "For those of us who believe people ought to come to this country legally, we should enforce the law, we're tired of being told it's anti-immigrant. It's offensive!"

Aside from that, he reportedly emphasized his plans to discard the existing tax code and plans to substitute it with a common tax on consumption.

On the other hand, Ohio Governor John Kasich reportedly slammed Trump for his immigration plan.

"Come on folks, we all know you can't pick them up and ship them across a border," Kasich argues. "It's a silly argument. It's not an adult argument."

Reports have revealed that three Republicans vying to be the next president of the United States stood out after the fourth showdown. These candidates include Florida Senator Marco Rubio, Kentucky Senator Rand Paul and Donald Trump.
