They all have been advocating for CIR but specifically anything that could help us dreamers and DACA recipients first so I trust in their judgement that any of the bills designed to help us directly have a reasonable chance of passing.

Exactly my thoughts! ENLIST Act is not for everyone but it has the higher chance of passing plus would open the doors for future CIR bills in the future. Just look at the subcommittee on immigration and border security majority members that RACA was referred to they include Rep. Steve King (IA), Lamar Smith (TX), Bob Goodlatte (VA), and of course Jim Sensenbrenner (WI) the author of the anti immigration "Sensebrenner Bill" back in 2005. I really don't see a chance of RACA getting out of that subcommittee with those knuckle heads as members.
