Question as asked in interview

Some members of Congress are promoting a law that changes the current policy towards the entrance of Cubans into the United States. The proposed law would require residents of Cuba entering the United States to prove political persecution before they can receive federal public assistance in form of welfare, food stamps and Medicaid. Would you strongly favor, mostly favor, mostly oppose or strongly oppose such a change in the current law?

Algunos miembros del Congreso están promoviendo una ley que cambiaría la política actual hacia la entrada de los cubanos en los Estados Unidos. El proyecto de ley requeriría que los residentes de Cuba entrando en los Estados Unidos demuestren evidencia de persecución política antes de que puedan recibir asistencia pública federal [como seguridad social, "food stamps" y Medicaid]. ¿Estaría a favor decididamente a favor, principalmente a favor, principalmente en contra o fuertemente en contra de este cambio a la ley actual?
