As I understand it, the Republicans had options at several points to stop OC from being passed. Options they did not utilize.

Why?

It was obvious to me that the leadership wanted it to pass, albeit on party lines, in the belief that the party would benefit at the polls in the next elections.

It was a cold, calculated decision to destroy the lives of millions of people for what they hoped would be political gain. IMO, this makes them as evil as the Dems.

Mitch McConnell is dirty as hell on this point & if he is successful in reaching the general election, he will not get my vote.

Only a few of us seem to know that, so you shouldn’t spread the word here.

Alan Simpson, after he retired, revealed exactly how they GOPe felt about the "Blue Hairs" it should have alerted us, but I guess it didn't.

There is no excuse for not enforcing immigration laws, but even Ronald Reagan didn't make that happen, and he had all three branches, nor did anyone ever bring up abortion when he was President and Republicans controlled bot houses.
