DA by itself does not fix the broken immigration system. I agree CIR faces a tough battle but it is now or never. What democrats are doing is putting republicans' back against the wall to get at least DA+CIR. I think they eventually will drop the LGTB fight. The window to get this done will be closing out soon.
