By that time Hilary will be president, and like Obama, she's going to make some excuses about giving congress the opportunity to act. More time will pass and the cycle will continue. lol.

I think for the Dreamers, their best bet is to use DACA to gain some pseudo legal presence, and then with that semblance of a normal life do everything they can to get a green card whether it's getting married, getting work sponsorship, finding other family members who are citizens who can help, etc. It will be a while for congress to act UNLESS there is a massive landslide for the Democrats in congress as well as the whitehouse and it's clear that the landslide is because 90% of the Latino, Asians, etc. voted.
