Carson was talking about the work ethic and dreams of immigrants who came to the United States through Ellis Island
Ben Carson is so intelligent, it screws up the liberal leftists who believe they are smarter than everyone else. For example, the liberal left was all over Ben Carson in November of 2015 when he said, “Jefferson, seemed to have very deep insight into the way that people would react and tried to craft our Constitution in a way that it would control people’s natural tendencies and control the natural growth of the government.” Thomas Jefferson, however, was in France during the Constitutional Convention in 1787, so the Democrats and their minions leaped all over it, and accused Dr. Carson of being in error.
That horrible ad filled site wouldn’t show me what Obama’s quote was. I hate these ad filled sites that you can’t quickly read or scroll on.
“By force?”
Immigration: 1The action of coming to live permanently in a foreign country.
Oxford dictionary.
Doesn’t say anything about force.
Your thought process and logic are as weak as a liberal’s.
Okay. With you. People sold into bondage, shipped to another country against their will are immigrants.

Hello? Minimum round-trip time for a letter was two weeks, and probably closer to a month.

That did not mean they didn’t write each other every day, though I do not know whether or not they did.
“Okay. With you. People sold into bondage, shipped to another country against their will are immigrants.”
With you, emotion trumps logic.
They were subject to forced immigration.
The word is accurate. It’s understandably not commonly used in this context and seems incongruous. But it is techically accurate.
You want to deny the meaning of words because of your emotions.
You also want to use it to deride an honorable person.
Okay, well why don’t you grab the latest Webster and sit down and go through and redefine words to bring them up to liberal standards of today.
You sound like a liberal. Or moon bat lefty.

There’s no debate about the definition of the word.
I support Dr.Ben but your not an Immigrant if your forced against your will to go to a country in chains.
“I support Dr.Ben but your not an Immigrant if your forced against your will to go to a country in chains.”
I agree with the sentiment and stated earlier that it sounds incongruous.
But, it is technically correct as per the definition of the word.
They lived only 30 miles from each other—Montecello and Montpelier.
I agree.
I thought this thread was about that time when the Constitution was being drafted. During that time Mr. Jefferson was living in Paris.

Touché.
