GOP doesn't support these bills because they come packaged with broad amnesty for millions of illegal immigrants. That is as much of a poison pill for the GOP as a republican bill including more funding for increased deportation would be a non-starter for Democrats.

There has not been a democrat-sponsored immigration bill introduced in the past 5+ years that did not include a multi-million person amnesty.

Democrats had a federal trifecta for 2 years, yet not a single immigration bill Schumer or Pelosi brought out for consideration was narrowly tailored to immigration court funding.

GOP leadership doesn't favor such "skinny" bills either, so they are also at-fault.
