Where I stand on issues 1. Immigration- It is very hard for someone to become a new U.S. citizen. We need to make the process less complicated and easier. Also, we need to stop illegal immigration. One of the main reasons that people don’t become a legal immigrant is because of taxes. To make becoming a legal citizen more appealing we should offer taxes to immigrants for the first three years they’re living in the U.S.

2. The Death Penalty- Personally, I think the Death Penalty is a fair punishment. All of the people who sentenced to it have committed one or more horrible crimes. Most people sentenced to it have killed multiple people, so I believe they deserve it.

3. Energy- One of the main issues in the U.S. is energy. I think that we need to slowly convert into renewable energy. Also, we should get more up to date nuclear power plants that are safer and more efficient. I think we need to make these change at a slow, but constant rate.

Bill Number: HB63

Our bill sets out to create a more energy-independent United States by using modern nuclear reactor technology to fuel our nation. America is currently struggling under the huge costs of foreign oil. Also fosil fuels cause large amounts of pollution and ruin the environment. Newer technology in nuclear plants significantly reduce the probability of mishaps and have lowered the cost of energy. We suggest the creation of nuclear-invested businesses that will fuel America for generations to come, and the government will provide initial funding to help these corporations rise to the top.
