I have no idea. Apparently the OP is scared they're going to start a revolution in Illinois? Who knows.

The article says nothing about giving terrorists jobs. It says maintaining the facility will create about 3,000 jobs for normal Americans.

Why keep them alive? Give me a reason? What would the negative be if we made them all vanish?

The majority of GTMO detainees have not been found guilty, either by tribunal or jury, of any crime except that of association.
They are stuck in the system because their country of origin..... or, in other cases, the country of the military that captured them and handed them over to us...doesn't want or trust them either.
So we just euthanize the "stray dogs"??

We are not Syria, we should not just disappear people. Besides our supermax prisons work(ed) for Ramzi Yousef, and Timothy McVeigh do you think they will escape?

Your 100% wrong! That attitude is why we are in such horrible shape! We " America" tolerate way,way too much! Eliminate the enemy, rid America of all these illegals! Save our tax dollars!
