I n hisbook, “America the Beautiful,” Dr. Carson writes on page 102, “I believe we have taken the moral low road on this issue [i.e., illegal aliens]. Some segments of our economy would virtually collapse without d deport many individuals who are simply seeking a better life for themselthese undocumented workers—we all know that—yet we continue to harass anves and their families. Is there a way to apply logic to this issue and arrive at an intelligent solution?” (Ben Carson Has Presidential Ambitions, But Is Soft On Illegal Aliens; Jerry McConnell; Canada Free Press; 2/4/14)
So does Carson go on to apply logic and arrive at an intelligent solution?
The thing I like about Trump’s solution is it restores the rule of law. But immigration is kind of a side show. Trump’s real strength is in international trade and restoring the balance.

They Monmouth have Fiorina at 10% in Iowa ... uh ...No.
Doesn’t surprise me given it’s six months out.
ABC news wouldn’t play with the numbers to make Trump appear 10 points lower than he is would they? hmmmm. Yes they would.
This is an ABC news poll.The OAN poll has Trump at 40% nationwide so this Iowa poll seems fake to me
Don’t get too excited ABC, this is only 1 state.
Trump isn’t collapsing yet.
Iowa Poll: Trump blazes to lead; Carson quietly rises

Trump has the big mouth, but Dr. Carson has the big intellect. I am so happy to see Dr. Carson doing so well. Hoping he will be the nominee and then we will have a chance.

I think it tells you everything you need to know when you see that the three people in the lead are all non-politicians.
People think that by avoiding politicians, they’ll get a fresh start on government, and Trump is the most popular of them at the moment mainly because he’s a non-politician who is also a celebrity and a showman. When people get tired of the bombast, Carson and Fiorina have a chance of moving up even more.
However, I’m not sure a non-politician, especially one who doesn’t seem to have any strong history of political opinions, is going to be able to do much. People mention Reagan, but he had a long history of conservative positions and political involvement and had twice been governor of the state that has a nation-level economy.
That said, I can certainly see why people want nothing to do with politicians!
Carly has a successful campaign reaching out to Gen Y and Gen X voters.
Carson brings minorities back into the fold.
Trump tapping the independents pissed at the GOP and over 65.
Cruz hitting the evangelicals.
This is a multi-front marketing war.
Tell that to his supporters and see what kind of reaction you get.
He was soft 2 months ago.
June 20, 2015 “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 . . .”

You can want to support your family by holding up a 7-eleven. You would be breaking our laws and arrested. The reason sounds all nice and noble. But it puts our country at risk. They can support their families by doing it legally.
I don’t care why they support him. I’m just glad they do.
Trump pretty much said the immigration thing had been blown out of proportion in his Phoenix speech.

Sorry I’m not buying this one. Carson is not tied with Trump. I would be very surprised since every other poll has Trump ahead.
