House Republicans today introduced the Keep Terrorists Out of America Act, which aims to stop the transfer or release of terrorists held at the Guantanamo Bay prison into the United States. House Republican Leader John Boehner said this:

"This bill has a straightforward but vital purpose: to ensure that the terrorists held in the Guantanamo Bay prison are not imported into the United States.  We are giving every Member of Congress an opportunity to stand with the American people by affirming their opposition to bringing these terrorists into our communities, and we hope they join us.  Equally asimportant, this bill holds the Administration accountable if it acts unilaterally against the will of the American people.
 
“The world did not suddenly become safe in January 2009.  There are still terrorists around the world who are committed to killing Americans and destroying our way of life.  A number of those terrorists are being held at the prison in Guantanamo Bay right now.  If the Administration is allowed to proceed, they won’t be there for long.  In fact, they may be right here, in the United States.   I have been urging the Administration to finally present to the American people its plan for what to do with the terrorists held at Guantanamo and for confronting and defeating the global terrorist threat.  Right now, that plan does not exist, and the safety of our nation depends on it.
 
“Our ranking members John McHugh, Pete Hoekstra, Lamar Smith, Peter King, and Ileana Ros-Lehtinen all deserve great credit for their work on this measure.  I thank them for their efforts in crafting this critically important bill.”
