Republicans held a majority in the House or all the time since 1994, the last 20 years.

The last amnesty push was GWB's in Spring 2007. The Dems controlled both houses. Pelosi had a Dem majority, but couldn't get amnesty over the top without some Republican votes. The GOP leadership in the House couldn't even deliver to Pelosi the relatively small number of votes she needed.

Today there are far fewer Dems in the House, and today's Republicans are by and large more conservative than those in 2007. Boner and Ryan are dreaming if they think they'll easily get enough votes in the House for amnesty.

no there were other amnesty pushes
and Republicans blocked since 1994.Republicans held a majority in the House most of the years since 1994.

Republicans in the House voted 85% no to Amnesty in the last Amnesty votes during the Bush years

fact is Republicans have held a majority in House for most of the years since 1994 and since then there's been No Amnesty. Bush wanted Amnesty badly. Democrats wanted Amnesty as they will get 40 million new democrat voters. clinton wanted Amnesty , Obama wants amnesty. why haven't Republicans passed it since you say they want it so badly?
