JOHNNY JOEY JONES (FOX NEWS CONTRIBUTOR): It's really unfortunate that something as valuable of an asset as Guantanamo Bay is to us has become this like spooky, you know, don't talk about it, it's terrible because, you know, we didn't let known terrorists sleep peacefully while they were there. I really don't shed a tear for any of the people that were ever interrogated there and I'm certainly not going to feel bad for illegal criminal migrants going there to hang out while we figure out what to do with them.
DANA PERINO (ANCHOR): I think it's important, too. And I think because of the stigma against Guantanamo Bay over the last 15 years, people have misunderstood how important it is strategically. Especially to have a presence there.
JONES: No absolutely. An note there are 30,000 beds there. The capacity for 30,000 beds. I mean it sends the exact right message. If you're thinking about crossing our border as a criminal, and granted, maybe the one criticism is, if you listen to Karoline Leavitt, everybody that crossed the border is a criminal. So do they mean those with criminal histories or just everyone that they feel like they don't have a place to send. I personally don't care. But it does sends a message to the southern border and the northern border that if you cross into our country illegally, you're not just going to get put up at the Hilton in downtown New York. You may go live on a military base on the coast of Cuba.
