Thomson IL- After a brief tour of the Thomson Correctional Center in Northwest Illinois, Federal officials seemed to like what they saw.
While in Chicago, opposition spoke out against bringing the Gitmo detainees to Illinois. Watch segments of the pro and con arguments here..
If you trust the Bureau of Prisons to run a safe instituion...look at their track record. Do you honestly think they can keep staff and the community safe? The agency is underfunded and understaffed now. Learn from what Officer Pepe endured at MDC New York
Food for thought, Today, another Illinois prison, had two escaped inmates. One was captured after 12 hours, the other is still at large. Cute, Obama, bring terrorists to the state of IL where we have the largest state deficit-per-person, and can't keep the inmates we have in jail from escaping!
More importantly Steve, Is the people of Thomson that spent alot of money in preparation of the opening 8 years ago. When they (IL) decided not to open it it really kicked people in the wallet. IL made a promise to them and never followed through. I am from Thomson, I know the pople of Thomson and Carroll County. Even though the guy in QC doesnt like it... It will improve the area. My concern is that it is primarily a retirement town... what will happen with property values and tax increases with the 1500+ personel that will move there?
I don't want terrorists living anywhere near us... Send them to some isolated area where there aren't any people.... why not leave them where they are.... that's dumb to move them... wonder what the outrageous costs it's going to be to move them. What's the benefit of moving them? More jobs.... doubt it... I can't believe our law makers are putting the illusion of potential jobs ahead of the safety of those people who voted them in....
I don't want them in the USA. I vote. How much did GITMO cost us taxpayers. Obama wants them in Illinois, why don't he just move them into the white house. I mean it seems that Obama really loves these terrorist. It makes me sick to my stomach that the commander-in-chief, could be so STUPID!
I think someone should find out why taxpayer money was spent for an empty prison. Sounds like more pork barrel policies to me. Taxpayers pay for an empty prison and then pay again to keep GitMo people there. Great win for Illinois Congressman.
