The priority, and rightly so, are the citizens of this country. When many of them are losing their jobs, homes, cars, etc.... Bringing up undocumented people would have set them off. Once the American people begin to bounce back (and trust the government to make their lives better), I believe they'll start to care more about people in our situation. And YES, I do believe it's possible that CIR happens this year.
