This is just a blog article but it pretty much summarizes the fate of Immigration Reform in the coming years under a Republican controlled House. If Dream Act passes during lame duck session, what about our parents and family members who aren't eligible under Dream Act who have to adjust their status as well? The fact is that the chances of CIR look grim in this Republican controlled House. It also seems highly unlikely that Dems will be able to pass CIR during a lame duck session which has been stuffed with over 20 important bills. Discuss.

Dream is all that matters. We can sponsor our parents when we get status, so I wouldn't hinge my hopes on CIR. It's harder to pass CIR than Dream.
That's the plan for my family... My mom says she doesn't care about CIR anymore but she only cares if Dream passes. It's gonna take a while, but we WILL be able to sponsor our parents eventually so I think CIR doesn't need to pass for me if DREAM passes. Sounds selfish, I know. But I'm only concerned with getting legalized at this point, and then try to do something as a legal citizen to help with CIR in the years to come. Cuz let's face it. CIR is doomed for the next two years because of the friggin' House.
