Dr. Ben Carson...told a prominent group of Latino elected officials that he also supports giving illegal immigrants a path to legalization and eventual citizenship.
Addressing the National Association of Latino Elected and Appointed Officials (NALEO) in Nevada...
He added that, "as a compassionate nation, we should be asking what can we do to help the people in nations who feel that they don't have an opportunity." He cited Cameroon as an example where American companies are helping to develop land to produce produce, which benefits those in Cameroon who need jobs in addition to the American companies.
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?"
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."
"And if they want to become citizens they have to get in the line with everyone else… because we have to pay homage to people who've done it the right way," Carson added.
He also told the audience that "what threatens to destroy is division" and blasted the "purveyors of division" who try to divide Americans based on race, age, income and a host of other issues...

Carson is BAD news!
Maybe Carson could just switch back to his old party and quit embarrassing serious republicans.
no. morally wrong, and more than that, traitorously wrong.
NO AMNESTY, NO HOW.
Never.
Hasta la vista baby.
But we have to “rally around him”, remember?
Oh no... Carson just smeared himself again!
Stop it Carson. You can’t get away with smearing Carson!
You didn’t know that?

Carson:
Carson has also said the United States should model its immigration reform after Canada's guest-worker program. “People already here illegally could apply for guest-worker status from outside of the country,” Carson wrote in November. “This means they would have to leave first.”
FReepers refuse to do research as a rule. If you bother to research Carson, you will become ill quickly.
Maybe the supposed “conservatives” around here should quit using the Leftist slander and smear debate tactics and try making the case FOR their candidate instead.
And if he had specified Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton. the same people whining about it on this thread would of been cheering him
Yes, let’s rally because the big bad media is after him.
Media is irrelevant. It’s Carson’s policies that are bad. People need to get over the ‘he is a nice guy’ and evaluate him based on policies and relevant experience. The ones who want to keep him in the race because it helps ‘their’ guy are the worst, IMO. Too much at stake.
Want to explain why you left this statement out of your thread header?
That tells me an awful lot of what I need to know, if he'd use Jesse Jackson for praise. I don't know anything about Ebony's journalistic standards, then or now, but it's not a source of praise that would encourage me to read the book. Why? IIt tells me it's not meant to appeal to the general population.
Context is everything. When you say that to a Latino group in an immigration discussion, he’s suddenly suggesting that it’s racist to want to enforce our border with Mexico. That simply reinforces the Democrat talking points.
Adios, Ben.
” . . . he also supports giving illegal immigrants a path to legalization and eventual citizenship.”
Hasta la vista, baby.
My wallet has run out of compassion. Deport the criminals, don’t reward them.
This, among other issues, is why I believe Carson will throw his support to Rubio.
