From Southern California Public Radio:
Despite public momentum and White House support, two comprehensive immigration reform bills died in Congress. House Republicans mounted the strongest opposition, said UC Irvine political scientist Louis DeSipio. “In 2006, there was a genuine bipartisan bill in the US Senate," DeSipio said. "It got some 20 some Republican senators to vote for it, as well as just about all of the Democrats in the Senate. But it went over to the House of Representatives and they rejected it on its face. In 2007 the Senate wasn’t able to pass a bill, but I think everyone realized that even if they did, the House would be very unlikely to support it.”
