CNN’s Chris Cuomo interviewed DACA recipient Angelica Villalobos Tuesday, and claimed “everybody” supports the idea of normalizing dreamers and funding their stay in the U.S.
“The last thing I want to do is add to your anxiety, and there is hope. There’s such general approval by the American people to help dreamers like yourself be in this country,” Cuomo claimed. “No matter what party — Independent, Republican, Democrat –the poll numbers say everybody wants the right thing to be done by the Dreamers, so there should be hope.”

Cuomo also asked Villalobos about the GOP’s stance against amnesty.
“Back in the day when the amnesty was approved, you get to become a legal permanent resident after five years and you went through a background check. They didn’t have as much technology as they do now,” she said. “Now they go through fingerprints and all of that and they verify with the FBI before giving you a benefit. Our’s will be limited. You know, they’re trying to give us a pathway to citizenship for like 13 years and things like that.”
“They’re requiring more things now,” Villalobos continued. “Because of the technology in everything, they’re really screening for people who have committed serious crimes that will make them ineligible for a benefit.”
