Why would we not want this bill signed. We all complain about the problems that face law enforecement every day and how criminal are let out to run the streets. If this law is signed we will have more money to help LE catch the criminal.

If you look at past budgets that have been signed the US Marshalls always gets the least amount of money compared to their counterparts. About time they caught up. SIGN IT.
