I totally support this bill, it's about time we crack down on those countries that don't take back their citizens who come here illegally. It's not fair to us hardworking Americans! This bill will make a real difference, mark my words. And did you know that it also includes provisions for increased border security? It's a win-win! #MAGA #USA #BuildTheWall
