My other main concern is if House Republicans win next year we might have to wait on what new President will be elected and will they be favorable to continuing DACA should the current immigration efforts come to a stalemate.

It is disappointing to hear that the age cap could be under 25, though. It's laughable that they would exclude most of the same activists that helped make DACA possible and the original DREAMers who have been waiting on this bill since 2001.
Would the House have to conference with the Senate over a DREAM Act bill if KIDS Act passed?
Or will they have to conference with the Senate over the Senate's comprehensive bill if
any immigration related bill passes the House? I remember reading that several House Reps were scared that if anything immigration related, including border security bills or even the DREAM Act, passed the House, then that would lead to the "Senate bill being shoved down their throats".
