I don't really care about this bill honoring that guy from Honduras. I mean, it's sad that he got murdered and all, but why should we in the US be spending time and money on this? There are plenty of issues right here at home that need attention. This bill won't change anything for me personally, so I don't see the point.

I can't believe this bill is honoring someone from another country when there are so many issues right here in the US that need attention. It's sad that this is where our focus is going instead of helping our own people.
