If Hezbollah is in the Western Hemisphere and Iran has $150 billion to support their friends...
Well, the unfunded liability problem is a problem for the entire Federal Government. It is more than just the Postal Service. It is staggering.
These aren't just criminals; These are terrorists backed by the organizations I mentioned earlier.
The notion that in 2002 still in the shadow of the horrific attacks of 2001 that brought down the World Trade Center... we faced somehow a lesser threat than we do now, I find very hard to believe.
I apologize that the Ranking Member had to bring discussion about a deranged murderer into a discussion about Guantanamo Bay terrorists.
It seems to me that this is a shameful record, and the people at the top should be embarrassed about this.
Imagine my surprise. Not only was it against Federal law to transfer Guantanamo detainees into the United States, but why would anyone want to put terrorists in Charleston?
Why would the administration ignore the advice of our State and local law enforcement professionals?
It only takes 1 to kill a large number of Americans somewhere in the world, whether that is U.S. soil or somewhere else.
The fact is State and local law enforcement have numerous concerns with the implications of bringing the world's most dangerous terrorists to our homeland.
Moving detention operations from a secure facility outside of the continental United States and into Charleston will not stop the propaganda.
Regardless of any merit that may support these assertions, they do not support the conclusion that the terrorists should be transferred to Charleston, South Carolina, or any other location in the United States.
Cash-strapped States and localities will face additional costs due to the heightened threat environment brought about by this decision.
The fact is, State and local law enforcement have numerous concerns with the implications of bringing the world's most dangerous terrorists to our homeland.
People are really angry about these sanctuary cities that the administration has gone along with.
It was a Republican President who first brought a Guantanamo detainee to the United States.
If the President does violate the NDAA law and brings Guantanamo Bay terrorists to U.S. soil, the bill that I filed, H. Res. 617 would give Paul Ryan and the House of Representatives standing to stop this through legal means.
Anyone who thinks that this is impossible is suffering from, as the 9/11 Commission puts it, 'a failure of imagination.'
