Immigration/Dream Act should be a big priority.
A) Its the right thing to do.
B) Excellent issue to divide and conquer the republics. If they embrace the issue, they lose the teabaggers, if they obstruct/filibuster, they've lost the Hispanic vote forever. Big Latino or weak teabagger turnout in 2014 likely gives Dems the House and several Governorships... and puts Dems in a strong position for 2016 Presidential year election.
