Seriously, is there anyone who can rationally explain why these R's voted like this?

If you start picking the original bill apart, it will degenerate into a food fight.

This bill is crafted in such a way to achieve a majority of votes. There is a little something for the left, the right, and the middle.

If you start cutting out sections you risk losing your majority.

The ultimate goal is to control our borders, so trade offs need to be made.

I agree that compromises drive the bills, but to me, granting amnesty to people who broke our laws is giving up too much.

Call me stubborn, but no U.S. citizen gets to pick and choose which laws to obey and which to ignore. Those who aren't even citizens shouldn't get to either.
