President Barack Obama delivered a plan to Congress on Tuesday to close the Guantanamo Bay detention facility, Save Jerseyans.
At least one New Jersey Republican Congressman isn’t inspired.
“President Obama’s decision to close Guantanamo and transfer radical terrorists onto U.S. soil is another demonstration of weakness from a leader that refuses to accept how dangerous the world really is,” said Congressman Tom MacArthur, a Republican who represents New Jersey’s Third Congressional District. “President Obama is prioritizing campaign promises over American safety and unfairly forcing communities to house the world’s most dangerous terrorists, including five of the men that planned and aided the Sept. 11 terrorist attack.”
Obama’s controversial move comes ahead of an equally controversial planned presidential trip to Cuba.
