House Rep to Ban Gitmo Detainees from U.S. Soil

This article brings up the question about what should happen to the detainees held at Guantanamo since it is to be closed by the end of the year. While enemy combatants in war have rights under the Geneva Convention, there is no place that grants rights to them in the U.S. Constitution. It is stated in the article that some of the previously held detainees have gone back to a life of terrorism. For this reason I do not believe introducing a bill that would ban them from setting foot on U.S. soil would stop them, or anyone for that matter, from doing so.
