美小镇拟靠囚犯拉就业

Hardin, a small town in Montana in the US is requesting to receive the Guantanamo detainees if they are released from the controversial jail in Cuba in light of the proposal by President Obama in January, CNN reported. Hardin is one of the poorest towns in the US hoping to boost its local employment by receiving the detainees. The unemployment rate is above 10% in the town.

据美国有线新闻网报道，美国总统奥巴马今年1月曾下令在一年内关闭备受争议的古巴关塔那摩监狱，蒙大拿州哈丁镇则希望在该监狱关闭后能接收囚犯以拉动当地就业。该镇是蒙大拿州也是全国最贫困的地区之一，失业率达到10％以上。
