“Guantanamo Bay is working. The world’s most dangerous terrorists sit in those cells, isolated from the rest of the world for our safety and protection. No prisoner has ever escaped from Gitmo, but instead of insisting they stay, our President wants to move them into our backyards,” said Rep. Loudermilk.

“There are certain things that this president and this administration does that baffles a whole lot of us. Being baffled is one thing, but putting your life, your liberty, and your family in jeopardy is a totally different thing. I cannot understand why we want to change something that is working and put our citizens at risk.”
