I don't really get this bill, but if it helps people get back to work, then I guess it's a good thing. It's important to support programs that help individuals re-enter society after being in prison. #UnitedStatesHRBill5109 #SupportReturningCitizens

I don't think this is a good idea. Why should they get special treatment? Who benefits from this?
