Conundrum Next Conundrum
Should the citizens of Illinois have any say in whether Gitmo detainees are placed in their state?
Do Federal agencies have the right to place prisons and prisoners wherever they wish, against the wishes of the people? I confess I am unaware of any States Vs Federal background on this issue.

In an ideal world yes.
However if no state is actually raising their hand and saying "put the Gitmo detainees in our state" then someone has to choose and a state has to be selected, any bickering or legal delays will only increase the cost exponentially.
I cannot understand why the citizen of Illinois wouldn't want the 3000 jobs and 1 billion in additional economic development. Thomson Correctional Center is a supermax prison from which there has never been an escape (from any supermax) and the prison is largely unused at the moment.
