This bill though only has a chance of being launched next year under three different conditions

1.The Repubs lose major seats in the house
2. Dems retain senate with certain blue dog senators(the golden five) losing seats to be replaced by rockerfeller republicans(unlikely).
3. If there still exists some impetus of some kind to launch immigration reform of any degree.

Personally I think if the Rubio bill fails(highly likely right now due to the GOP house), I think pressure is going to mount on Obama to issue an executive order. If not, the Repubs will have a golden chance to steal the latino vote and Obama will be viewed as the man who failed to do the moral thing in his second term.
