The Democrats kept the CIR until the last minute to help them gain support in the presidential election.

Believe it or not, Immigration was the an issue that was very important to Congress at the time. We had that thing, oh yeah the Great Recession. Shocking, i know. Congress was too busy trying to pull us out of that huge mess, even in my opinion that has greater priority than CIR/DA. Now it looks like everyone is pretty serious about CIR/DA.
Also, anything that Ted Cruz says I just lol at. He thinks onion news satire are real facts...sigh.
