[Camerota:] Nearly 800,000 Dreamers in America this morning do not know their fate. The Trump administration is expected to end the program that protects them from deportation within six months if Congress does not come up with a solution. Joining us now are two Dreamers. Angelica Villalobos came to America at 11 years old. And, Angel Oaxaca-Rivas was just four when his family arrived in the U.S. We're happy to have both of you here today to tell us how you're feeling. Angelica, let me start with you. When you heard the announcement from the White House that the DACA the Dreamer program was going to change and be over in the next six months, how did you feel?
[Angelica Villalobos, "dreamer":] I was upset and angry. I think it was a fight that we all worked really hard to get and to be in this situation it's really difficult.
[Camerota:] And, Angelica, how would your life change? You are a mom of four children
[Villalobos:] Yes.
[Camerota:] and so if you cannot stay in the U.S., what happens?
[Villalobos:] Well, I'm my husband and I, we you know, we're a team. He's the one that supports the household. I take care of the kids. If I were to be deported it definitely is going to put a burden on our family. I'm that one that, you know, volunteers in the school. I was very active in the community with my kids along and I think that if I wasn't going to be able to be here with them to be a little walk them through, it's going to be very, very breaking for them.
[Camerota:] Angel, you've called the possibility of this terrifying. What do you mean?
[Angel Oaxaca-rivas, "dreamer":] Yes. I think it's terrifying that we can be so easily betrayed by the government asking us to give so much information that we had to give to be accepted into DACA and then to have it turned around on a very exceptional group of people.
[Camerota:] I want to ask you about that because when you heard the idea that there was going to be this DACA program and that Dreamers like you
[Oaxaca-rivas:] Yes.
[Camerota:] brought here at four years old were going to be protected, did you have second thoughts about giving your
[Oaxaca-rivas:] Oh
[Camerota:] information to the government?
[Oaxaca-rivas:] Yes. There was a very significant discussion that my parents had to have with me at that time. I was 17 at the time and that was kind of the first big conversation that I had to have with my parents about my legal residency here and my residency status. And it was a risk. It was a risk that meant giving up exactly where I live. Where I was going to be working was going to be something that had to be turned over also and
[Camerota:] And, did you not know, Angel
[Oaxaca-rivas:] it would not be hard to find me.
[Camerota:] your did you not know your status until you had that conversation with your parents?
[Oaxaca-rivas:] I think the first time I actually figured out my status was when I was in elementary school I was going into middle school. I almost got a scholarship for some private schools and everything was good to go until I needed a social security number on file. And then that's when I figured out what being undocumented really meant. So I think I was about 12.
[Camerota:] Angelica, you had a moment with Speaker Paul Ryan in January where he, I think, tried to kind of assuage any of your anxiety that this fate would ever happen to you. Let me play this for our viewers.
[Villalobos:] It's clear that if DACA gets repealed my daughter will lose her mother and I'm sorry she will lose her mother. And I want you to know that DACA has helped me. Do you think that I should be deported and many of the families in my situation
[Rep. Paul Ryan , Speaker Of The U.s. House Of Representatives:] No.
[Villalobos:] should?
[Ryan:] No. No way in hell could first of all, I can see that you love your daughter and you're a nice person who has a great future ahead of you, and I hope your future's here.
[Camerota:] Angelica, I know that moment comforted you. So today, what do you want to tell Congress those lawmakers that are going to be deciding your future?
[Villalobos:] I think that, you know, it only comforted me in part, and the reason is because after that interview after that moment when I spoke to Paul Ryan, he didn't do anything. And I think I was upset at that time because, you know, he said it on live T.V. and said that I should not get deported, but then Congress and him didn't do anything for the last eight months. We're sitting in a situation right now where it got to this way because they did not act. And I think that, unfortunately, I just really hope that it's not too late for us.
[Camerota:] Angel, what do you want to say to Congress and the lawmakers who are going to try to figure out what the fate of all you 800,000 Dreamers are?
[Oaxaca-rivas:] I think that it's important to think about the work that the DACA population has already put into demonstrating how successful and how good of a how good of citizens we are already in this country. I think it's important to give us a little bit of credit for that going into processes because it's a very humanitarian problem, and that's how it should be thought of. Not necessarily just the numbers here and there, but look at us as the people that we are and what we've brought to this country so far.
[Camerota:] Angelica, have you talked to your children about this?
[Villalobos:] I have.
[Camerota:] And they know this is a possibility that you might be deported?
[Villalobos:] Yes, yes.
[Camerota:] What did they say?
[Villalobos:] They want to step in. I remember when I was telling my daughter that one of the things that worries me the most is losing the driver's license. I live in a state where a minor traffic violation can put you into deportation proceedings.
[Camerota:] Yes.
[Villalobos:] And I know my daughter, you know, came up and said well, you know, I have a driving permit now. I can I can help you with that. And, you know, it was it's very hard because you don't I want my kids to be kids. I want them to focus on what they should be focusing and not worrying about whether I'm going to come home or not.
[Camerota:] We understand. Thank you both for sharing your personal story. Obviously, we'll be watching very closely what happens over the next six months and we'll stay in touch. Thank you for being here. We're following a lot of news so let's get right to it.
