Last opportunity apparently was 2014, that is until the majority whip lost his primary and Boehner got scared, apparently they did have the votes whipped up to squeeze it through. Now, CIR 2013 wasn't great by any measure but if that passed the most common question on this site would be regarding filing for AOS from the proposed W visa.
Like all in all DACA was a huge net positive in the overall discussion because Obama just dragged the whole issue to the left by basically just going "you can settle on a bill where you will get your stupid border spending, or you can have DACA rammed up your collective asses".
Then of course Trump happened and Donald Trump and his consequences have been a disaster for the human race.
Regardless of what a brainlet like beingoflight tells you, never forget that it was Trump's AG that tried to kill DACA. Trump was also offered 25B for the stupid wall in exchange for the Dream Act, he seemed open to the idea until the TV started yelling at him. Then he wanted his 4 pillars for Bridge Act, aforementioned brainlet thinks that's a good deal and you'd be unable to legally work for 4 years now, though who knows, maybe Biden would grant all expiring DACAers DED or something.
Now, I don't think that members of the republican old guard are particularly anti-immigrant, dudes like McConnell, McCain, Graham, Cornyn, could likely be negotiated with, that is if they weren't scared of getting primaried out by whoever Trump supports during a primary because right now the inmates run the asylum with utter dipshits like Boebert or Greene being the prominent members. So hey, maybe something will pass after Trump is found dangling in his prison cell.
