I think this bill is good because it punishes illegal immigrant felons. It will help keep our communities safe and protect our country from criminals who shouldn't be here. I support this bill because it's important to hold people accountable for breaking the law, no matter where they come from. This bill will make a difference in my life by making me feel safer knowing that those who commit crimes will face consequences.
