DACA was just a tool for Obama to get votes. He would not have even introduced it if it wasn't for rumors of Rubio's plan which was exactly the same idea. Obama will not be passing anything related to immigration because Democrats want to use the issue in the 2016 election. Immigration is a hot topic that is a win/win for Democrats. If it passes, they will take credit and if nothing happens, they will blame republicans. The possibility of CIR is not until after 2016 elections. Republicans need more proof of changing demographics of their constituent base in order to appeal to minorities. Until then, we are just prisoners of the political game.
