This bill is just terrible, it's going to make things worse for everyone. I can't believe they passed it. Did you know that this bill also includes provisions for increased funding for mental health services?

I don't understand why some people are against this bill, it will help keep our communities safe from dangerous criminals who are in the country illegally. Why do some people not see the benefits of this bill?
