Chairman. my amendment would prohibit funds from being used to provide defense counsel to foreign terrorists detained at Guantanamo Bay. Simply put. Mr. Chairman. our tax dollars should not be going to defend foreign terrorists. Hardworking taxpayers should not foot the legal bill of noncitizen terrorists who plotted to kill innocent Americans. I recently visited Guantanamo Bay and learned firsthand of the outrageous amount of time these detainees spend with their taxpayerfunded counsel. I have asked the Department of Defense to provide me with the exact amount they have spent in legal defense services for detainees. but I have received no response.
Identified stereotypes
Generalizing that all foreign terrorists are non-citizens who plotted to kill innocent Americans.
