I wonder if they counted the hundreds of extra security positions they’ll need at O’Hare if they go ahead with this.

Survey Shows Only 32% of Illinois Voters Support Quinn/Durbin Plan to Move Gitmo to Illinois, 57% Oppose

60% of women, 58% of independents and plurality of Democrats call plan a “bad idea”

Less than one-third of Illinois voters support a plan to move terrorists from Gitmo to Thomson, Illinois while 57 percent call it a “bad idea,” according to a survey released today by We Ask America, a division of Xpress Professional Services, Inc. of Springfield, Illinois.

According to the overnight survey of 1,791 likely Illinois voters, 60 percent of women and 58 percent of independents oppose the plan. Even Democrats narrowly oppose the plan, 44.5 percent to 43 percent.

Oh, now isn’t that just special? Three thousand new taxpayer funded federal government jobs to molly-coddle a couple of hundred terrorists who are dedicated to the destruction of the U.S.

Somehow I just don’t think this will help the economy that much, seeing as how these jobs will be a drain on the economy rather boosting the economy by creating new wealth.

Get ready for Thomson real estate to increase in value as muzzies start buying it up to be near their brothers in the prison.

Terrorism (or whatever they call it now) as a jobs program.

And how will the citizens of Thomson feel after the first store or cafe is blown up by a suicide bomber or there is a mass shooting by an Islamic terrorist?

For how many prisoners, 10! The spirit of Marie Antoinette Lives! Let them eat cake! Take our crumbs! There are millions out of work and they have the arrogance to tell the American people take what crumbs come to you!

Random thoughts:

1) Er, wouldn’t these jobs be mostly taxpayer funded government jobs (i.e. not creating private sector wealth)?

2) I truly never thought I’d see the day when a President of the United States would pitch the transfer of a mass murdering terrorist as an economic boon.

3) Aren’t liberals supposed to be all uptight about the prison-industrial complex anyway?

4) Just an aside. IIRC, Plugs Biden once advocated solving the overcrowding problem in many prisons by dismantling the federal penitentiary system. His plan was to convert them into ‘regional zones’ where prisoners from nearby overcrowded state prisons would be housed in (relatively) undercrowded Federal prisons.

A return of the bubonic plague would mean more jobs for physicians.

Not a chance!

200+ inmates and almost 3000 jobs? Unrealistic, even by gummint standards.

Obama and Holder are either that stupid or they want them to receive a mistrial. Those jobs in IL will be government jobs which will suck more money from the taxpayers. The jobs will not be productive to the economy nor will transporting those Evil men back and forth to NYC. The security it will require will suck more blood from the already almost Bankrupt Federal Gov.
