Maybe I'm reaching. But, I just hope this isn't another year of us getting our hopes up and then getting them dashed. We jump another hurdle and then someone says something that makes you wonder if this entire thing is legit.

Well it could be interpreted like that, but reading it again...he doesn't really specify and keeps it more as a generalization, which would in effect decrease the current backlog, but also increase future flow immigrants trying to capitalize on family petitions even more.
I know my word doesn't mean anything, but I cannot see immigration failing this time. If it does, it is not just sad for us, but for the future of the USA, because if CIR cannot pass now in this pro CIR climate, then I wouldn't be surprised if CIR is never passed...ever...or at least many decades from now, maybe even hundreds of years. Seems like a bit of an exaggeration, but plausible IMO if CIR doesn't pass.
