The rest of the undocumented folks' faith will ultimately depend on the 2016 election.

If the Democrats lose the White House, you can be 100% sure that there won't be CIR passed for another 10 years because it will show that not only were the conservative voters against this but Democrat base also was against it and immigrant voters stayed at home or didn't care. It all depends on the next election. The line has been drawn now and there is no doubt which party is willing to take the political risk to try to gain the Latino, Asian, and other immigrant votes. If those groups show up, among with American women voters, it will keep the ball rolling. If Democrats take the Senate back and gain seats in the House, it will absolutely embolden the cause.

So in short, whether you got DACA, or your parents benefited or not, you have to absolutely be sales people with your citizen friends and relatives. Make sure they know your story, make sure they are registered to vote.
Hear hear...
