Ben Carson Calls For Guest-Worker Status For Immigrants By JANIE HAR
SAN FRANCISCO (AP) — Republican presidential hopeful Ben Carson jabbed Tuesday at front-runner Donald Trump's proposal to deport everyone who is in the country illegally, calling the plan impractical.
"People who say that have no idea what that would entail" legally and otherwise, Carson said, adding: "Where you going to send them?"
The retired neurosurgeon spoke before The Commonwealth Club of California on Tuesday in a 75-minute event in which he took questions from the audience on topics ranging from abortion to immigration, taxation to race relations.
Carson's longshot candidacy is buoyed by humor and a self-deprecating demeanor that some would-be voters say they find refreshing. Trump, the brash front-runner in the GOP nomination fight, has made immigration a centerpiece of his candidacy. Trump says he would deport those living in the country illegally — estimated at 11 million people.
Carson said he would secure the border, but also grant guest-worker status to people who are in the country without documentation. That way, they can pay taxes and come out from the shadows, he said.
Mass deportation, he said, would be expensive and impractical, and crippling to the hotel and agriculture industries.

“Now it’s Newt for VP!!”
NOPE.
NOT EVER.
Since Newtfrog sat on the couch with Peelosi and
talked about GloBULL WARMing CRAPT.
NEVER.
That’s about it for his candidacy
Sorry Ben...I like you as a person and some of your other positions...but this is a game ender for me.
Of course we should deport them.
If they see we are serious about it, particularly cutting off the things that keep them here...many will leave on their own. But those who do not we should find and deport.
If you reward them...you invite millions more to come.
Dr. Carsen needs better advisement on this...or, if he has it and insists on this...he is just plain wrong.
I do not want another President...or any stripe...who continues this madness.
Yup, now you know why he’s was taken off my list.
He’s right, but at this point no one cares.
[”Now it’s Newt for VP!!”]
No one is going to resurrect Newtie.
“People who say that have no idea what that would entail” legally and otherwise, Carson said, adding: “Where you going to send them?”
...
If they managed to get here, where they don’t legally belong, they can certainly make their way back to where they do.
Sounds as though GOPe is whispering in Dr. Carson’s ear: “The folks love you. You gonna go far in this business. All you have to do is say this and we will help you win this thing........”
Carson is blind and deaf.
Dr. Carson is a good man but he has several “leanings” that deserve a lot more scrutiny that what the anti-Trump crowd uses against trump.
would it? Many of those are union jobs, and with unemployment what it is nowadays, I'd bet they are jobs Americans would do after all. And I'm sure a legal immigrant from Finland or New Zealand could learn how to make a bed without much training.
The ole Rino cheer: We can’t.
