As a Latina herself, Francia often uses her platform to raise awareness about DACA, whether it's through partnering with I Am an Immigrant for their Home Is Here campaign, delivering a speech at the UnidosUS annual conference, or speaking out about it on social media.
In 2018, Francia spoke to POPSUGAR about why she continues to fight for Dreamers, saying, "In most cases, Dreamers only know this country as their own. It wasn't their choice to immigrate to the US, but this is where they belong. To say they're not allowed to be here anymore is unfair, and it's all because there's this assumption that we're all a certain way: criminals who don't contribute to the economy. The guidelines of the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) program say you have to have an education and can't be convicted of a felony. These people can be more than what some politicians think they are. This is their opportunity, and people in power are trying to take it away. I'm sorry, it's bullsh*t."
