anymore?

Are you implying that the GOP would have been for a free Direct File in years prior?

They wouldn't have.

This is not a new stance. I'm not sure why anyone in the Republican party would be shocked by this news, or why it would change their opinions.

This is similar to the Republican party doing something anti-abortion, and then Liberals being shocked, and saying, "You guys are really still going to vote for these people?"

Yeah, it's what they expected.

Look at the Eisenhower campaign planks. A pro-union, pro-minimum wage Republican party isn't just possible, they did it and they won on it.

If you had even a minimal US history education or you wouldn't make such claims. Nixon was to the left of Obama on many issues. That you don't know this is symptomatic of the problem today. The right has moved so far to the right that what was once considered right is now lefter than anyone on the left is willing to be. This wasn't an accident. It was planned, and began around the time of Reagan. Almost half a century later, the country is radically changed and kids today think it's always been this way. Well, it hasn't.

Is today the last 20+ years?

If you go back far enough, the democrats and republicans are completely unrecognizable, and anybody who would recognize them is long dead...
