Congressman Proposes Bill: No Gitmo Detainee May Set Foot on U.S. Soil Tuesday, March 03, 2009 By Michael W. Chapman, Managing Editor
(CNSNews.com) – Rep. John Shadegg (R-Ariz.) has introduced a bill that would prevent any of the detainees in the soon-to-be-closed Guantanamo Bay prison from being allowed into the United States. Back on Jan. 22, President Barack Obama issued an executive order mandating the closure of the prison, known as Gitmo, within 12 months. Gitmo holds nearly 250 enemy combatants from the war on terrorism.
With the question in mind of where those prisoners will go, Rep. Shadegg introduced HR 1238, which would prevent anyone being held at Gitmo from setting foot on U.S. soil.
“No American family should ever have to worry about their own government placing a terrorist in their community,” Shadegg said in a statement about the bill. “I have introduced legislation that would make this impossible – ensuring that the Islamic extremists at Guantanamo are not given the chance to enter our country and complete their unfinished mission of shedding American blood.”
Among the near-250 prisoners at Gitmo are Abd al-Rahm al-Nashiri, who was implicated in the bombing of the U.S.S. Cole Naval ship, and Khalid Sheikh Mohammed, the reported mastermind of the 9/11 attacks. According to the Department of Defense, some 61 former Gitmo prisoners who were released have returned to terrorism.

awesome
Any chance this will happen!!??!!
Good. Everyone knows the instant they do, every leftard will come out of the woodwork and claim these third world scum have asylum.
Nope....they’re muslims. Obama will let them come here.
Maybe they all have COLB’s from Hawaii though??
That could be true, but.......they don’t have to show it to anybody.
Great idea but little chance of getting passed among the Dims.
Even less chance that it would be easily enforced.
Can’t we just hand them over to the Mossad? It would be so much cheaper if we just had them take care of everything for a fee of say .5 million.
Jeez, you mean you would want them as your NEIGHBOR? How unneighborly!! /s
