They don't. That's why you put the Cruz bill on the floor and force them to go on record opposing it. Then you could go out and hammer them for opposing even a simple solution to one problem that everybody agrees needs fixing. Force THEM to make a hard choice, especially those up for re-election in red states. For the life of me I don't understand why the GOP doesn't do more of this. The Democrats are masters at it when they're in charge. Hell, they push the GOP into corners when they're NOT in charge. They understand this is hard ball 24/7 and act accordingly.
I don't know what incentive the Dem's have to cooperate on anything now. Trump pretty much did just what Schumer told him to do a few days ago.
Am I missing something?

More conservative immigration bill fails, vote on "moderate" bill delayed — live updates
https://www.cbsnews.com/news/whats-...immigration-bills-and-how-will-this-play-out/
Key differences between the two bills:
On the matter of family separation — which the Trump administration is halting for now — the conservative bill allows children to be detained with their parents in Department of Homeland Security custody for longer than 20 days by giving DHS Secretary Kirstjen Nielsen "discretion" to do so. The compromise bill goes a step further, by allowing children to be detained with their parents, and mandating that DHS house families who are going through criminal proceedings for first-time border crossings rather than turn them over to the Justice Department, as is current policy, CBS News' Rebecca Kaplan reports. The compromise bill would also provide funding for detention centers.
On DACA — The conservative bill allows for current recipients of the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals program to apply for a three-year renewable legal status allowing them to work and travel overseas. DACA recipients must use existing pathways to get green cards. The compromise bill allows those who qualified for DACA under the 2012 standards to apply for a six-year, indefinitely renewable legal status. They can also apply for the merit-based visa program without going to their home country first.
Visas — The conservative bill eliminates the diversity lottery and family visas for relatives other than spouses and minor children. It would also increase visas for skilled workers. The compromise bill creates a new, merit-based green card system with points for education, employment, English proficiency and military service by eliminating the diversity lottery and family visas for married children of U.S. citizens, and for siblings of adult U.S. citizens. It also eliminates per-country caps for employment-based immigration.
Border security — The conservative bill authorizes construction of the border wall, technology and other infrastructure. It also adds 5,000 border patrol agents and 5,000 Customs and Border Protection officers, and a biometric entry-exit system. The compromise bill appropriates $25 billion in advance for border security funding for the wall, access and roads, and also includes the addition of a biometric entry-exist system.
Overall immigration levels — The conservative bill would reduce overall immigration levels by about 25 percent per year. The compromise bill would keep immigration bills level.
