I saw the interview; it is not what he said at all. What he said was without the guest worker program, a tomato might cost, say $3 instead of $1, and maybe people would be OK with that, but it is a conversation we as a nation need to have,
Well, he’s still somewhat ill informed, then. $1.05, maybe.
Been thinking for a while that the backbone of Trump’s support stems from his firm position on Illegal Immigration. I suspect that most of the “real” voters in this Country, including those who gained citizenship legally, are offended by granting some sort of special status to those who’ve come here illegally.
That being said, I too watched the Carson interview and felt he (like most of the others) was open to some sort of worker program, saying it’s unrealistic to deport all those here illegally. In other words, he appears on the cheap labor express, indicating prices we pay would go up.
His stories about American workers unwilling to take $11 an hour jobs sounds absurd from what I see.
To me, this makes Carson another who is either out of touch, believes the media mantra, or just doesn’t care what the average “real” voter feels.
