Why the model tagged it this way: The bill adds a new offense under the Penal Code specifically prohibiting firearm possession by persons not lawfully present in the US (a state immigration-related crime), making it a third-degree felony. This restricts firearms access for that population while expanding state immigration-enforcement via a new status-based crime.
