FIRST CLASS TICKETS FOR TERRORISTS

Today President Obama announced that more than 70 detainees from Guantanamo Bay will be moved and housed indefinitely in Thomson, Illinois. The Obama Administration has yet to explain how transferring these terrorists to American soil will make our country safer. While the president may see a change in venue as a way to win approval overseas, I see it as a first class ticket to the United States for terrorists who seek to harm Americans.

Terrorists who kill innocent people and do not abide by international law should not be housed on U.S. soil and granted the same rights as American citizens. President Obama and House Democrats support the idea of bringing terrorists onto U.S. soil as a way to honor the Constitution. Bringing terrorists to the U.S. and affording them constitutional protections does just the opposite – it weakens our judicial system and undermines our Constitution.
