that's not my interpretation, the opposition party votes as a bloc against everything until they aren't the opposition party any more. democrats do that too. neither party can pass a filibuster in the senate so it doesn't matter, it isn't about any party position.

republicans support setting H1B visas at the same standard it was created for in 1991.

I support that. I support linking the standards of minimum compensation to inflation or some automatically moving metric. we already have several higher criteria work visas, H1B's is just the most popular.

republicans support our education visas turning into residency or work visas more seamlessly.

I support that.

the party doesn't support the empathy arguments for people that are here without a visa. I think something more holistic should be considered than mass deportation.

Its important to add nuance. We have many categories of immigration and many populations. As well as a porous mismanaged border.

That’s wrong on its face, since some legislation does get passed. They don’t oppose everything, they are selective. It’s strictly for political points.

If Republican voters supported more immigration, it could happen. They just don’t. And calling people brought here as children by their parents criminals is ridiculous.
