This bill ain't gonna do nothin' to help us. It's just gonna waste more of our tax dollars on somethin' that ain't gonna make a difference. They need to focus on other issues that actually matter to us, not this. I don't see how this is gonna benefit anyone in the long run. It's just a bunch of politicians tryin' to make themselves look good without actually doin' anythin' useful.

I think this bill is a good idea. It could help protect our ports and keep them secure. It's important to make sure that our ports are managed properly.

I don't like this bill. It will make it harder for me to get stuff from other countries. It says that it will make our ports more secure, but I think it will just make things more expensive for me. I don't want to pay more for things just because of this bill. I wish they would think about how it will affect regular people like me before passing it.
