Ben Carson supports citizenship for illegal aliens
American Thinker ^ | 9/5/15 | Ed Straker

Posted on 09/13/2015 9:26:21 AM PDT by jimbo123

Ben Carson supports citizenship for illegal aliens. He didn't call for this in 2004, or 2008 or 2012 or late last year. He called for it just this past June.

On Wednesday, Dr. Ben Carson said America’s borders must be sealed to protect against terrorism and told a prominent group of Latino elected officials that he also supports giving illegal immigrants a path to legalization and eventual citizenship. Regarding the country’s illegal immigrants, Carson said, “many of them have never known any other country … so where are you going to send them?”

That's rather odd. I thought immigration was supposed to serve American policy, not the wishes and feelings of the people who illegally came here. What about the feelings of American citizens? Carson doesn't talk about our feelings. And Carson is exaggerating--most illegals have very clear memories of the country they came from. When he talks like this, he sounds like Jeb Bush.

Carson said the country must “provide them a way so that they don’t have to hide in the shadows” and “give them an opportunity to become guest-workers–they have to register, they have to enroll in a back tax program.”

"Help them out of the shadows" is more liberal-speak. If I didn't know who was speaking, I'd think it was Obama (or Jeb Bush).

Facts:

1) Except in the very odd/exceptional election year of 1964, the Dems haven’t cracked 50% of the whites in a Presidential election since 1932.

2) Once the ‘64 election was over, the Dems understood that they would never win another Presidential election again unless the Republicans REALLY screwed up...or unless they changed the electorate in a dramatic way.

3) The Dems, courtesy of Bobby Kennedy who wrote the law, and Teddy Kennedy who pushed it in the Senate, passed the 1965 Immigration Act. That law dramatically reduced immigration from our then-traditional large sources of immigrants - England, Ireland, Holland, Germany, etc. - and replaced them with vast numbers of Turd Worlders...whom everyone knows vote around 80% for Dems, and will continue to do so for the rest of their lives, as new immigrants have traditionally done.

4) As a result of the ‘65 Act, and due to the Dem’s outright lying in ‘86 regarding an effective (or any) fence, there are now probably 30 - 40 million illegals in this nation. Note that the (probably low-ball) figure in 2005 was 11 million...we have 2-3 million come in every year, so simple math says that the number is actually somewhere between 31 and 41 million). If any substantial portion of these people ever become citizens, then the Dems will have accomplished a complete shift of the electorate, and will be virtually invincible on the national level. Every state will become like California, both politically and economically - which is to say, overwhelming Dem and broke. But at least if you don’t like California now, you can leave for a better place without much trouble - where are you going to go if EVERY state is like that?

5) Every Republican, and every Conservative voter MUST UNDERSTAND that if such a state of affairs comes to be, NO OTHER ISSUE WILL MATTER AT ALL, because we will ALWAYS AND FOREVER lose on those issues. Immigration is THE issue of this election, and this election is as critical as the 1860 election was - and for the same reason, because it will determine whether this nation continues on as it has existed in the past, or becomes a new and unrecognizable entity that simply occupies the same geographic territory.

Please wake up, and help others to do so by sending them this post (or recommending “Adios America” to them). It really is THAT important.

“Help them out of the shadows” into FULL in your face Insurgentship...

That way they can deported easily.. most of them are mules anyway..
That way they can get back home to receive another LOAD...

I’m more concerned with the Drug Kingpins in Washington D.C...
That MAKES THIS Dog and Pony Show CONTINUE..
And HAS continued for more than 50 years..

Thats where the 60’s Hippys got their Drugs AND are still getting them serving various offices in Washington D.C. ELECTED -or- appointed..

Carson is using McCain/Bush AMNESTY TALKING POINTS.

Do we need to know anything else about him, anymore?

"Carson said the country must “provide them a way so that they don’t have to hide in the shadows”"

Has Carson looked out of the window lately? Hiding in the shadows? What a joke. They are out and proud and in your face. It is the legals and citizens who are cringing and attacked for saying anything and having to pay the invaders for the privilege.

Carson said, “many of them have never known any other country … so where are you going to send them?”

A candidate asking rhetorical questions means the candidate doesn't have the answers himself and is unwilling or unable to take a stance.

It's a sign of passivity, of weakness, of fear - we have huge surpluses of all of these in DC already.

Where are we going to send them? To the nation of which they are citizens. It could not be more simple. If they've lived here illegally, if they whine and moan, if they don't like Honduras or whereever...

NOT OUR PROBLEM

Thanks for creating that list. I had not heard what he said about Michael Brown. That will be enough to sink him right there let alonge his stance on illegals.

He could take in quite a few and find out first hand what it costs.

Dr. Carson, before giving these criminals ANYTHING-—

Ask them, to which country do you claim allegiance? For which country would you die? For which country would you fight to save? THEN YOU SEND THEM BACK TO THAT COUNTRY.

To those who wish to stay — WE SAY Learn our culture, history, language, values....then we might have an intelligent conversation regarding the event of any decision to be made.

It is time to be culling the forest and removing more than a few ‘trees’

This rhetoric seems uncannily familiar. As we are presently trying to deal with breathtaking mistakes, I cannot concieve of voluntarily creating another one. Brilliant man, wrong candidate.
