In A Tough Economy and Time Of War, The President Wants To Bring Terrorists To America And Spend $237 Million To Do It

President Obama Is Requesting Hundreds Of Millions To Prepare An Illinois Corrections Center To House Detainees That Should Be Kept Off American Soil. “The President is requesting approximately $237 million for the federal government to purchase, modify, and operate the Thomson Correctional Center in Illinois, where the administration is planning on transferring the detainees currently at Guantanamo Bay. This is part of the Justice Department budget.” (Jake Tapper, “President Obama’s $3.8 Trillion Budget,” ABCNews.com, 2/15/10)

Tim Griffin released the following statement in response:
 
“Here’s another example of Washington wasting your money. In tough economic times, we should be focused on cutting spending and allowing the private sector to create sustainable jobs. In a time of war, we should be focused on keeping America safe and not bringing terrorists inside our borders.”
