I don't think it's fair to make them do that. It's not right. It's just not right. Did you know that this bill could impact people's privacy rights?

I support the efforts to increase reporting on special interest aliens, but I have concerns about the potential impact on individual privacy rights. Will this bill strike the right balance between national security and civil liberties?
