Was this the one that the hilariously named Freedom Caucus was for or against? I can't keep track anymore.

That'd roughly be the 79 GOP votes.

No Democrat had any input into this bill and no Democrat would support this piece of crap. Key parts of this bill are attempts to limit asylum claims (catch and release), family reunification (i.e. chained migration) and the visa lottery. This bill is being pushed based on GOP votes only.

The only compromise here is between the moderately right leaning GOP and the massively right leaning GOP. The only votes they couldn't get were the insainly right leaning GOP.
