With the threat of ISIS and other terror groups only growing the Presidents insistence on fulfilling
an ill-conceived campaign promise
to bring
hardened terrorists to American soil
is reckless nave & bewildering.
WASHINGTON D.C. (Texas Insider Report)
Bringing these detainees to the U.S. would not only violate current law
it would defy the will of Congress and the American people who do not want dangerous radical terrorists in their backyards
said Sen. John Cornyn
after the President announced his plan earlier today
to close the Guantanamo Bay detention facility
. Between negotiating a bad deal with Iran and the ongoing threat of a terrorist attack here in the U.S. its disappointing to see the
President continue to prioritize his
political agenda at the expense of the American people
."
President Obama has signed the Fiscal Year 2016 National Defense Authorization Act into law. It c
ontains a provision prohibiting the transfer of detainees
at the Guantanamo Bay detention facility
to American soil
