Carson: Trump's immigration plan 'not pragmatic'
The Hill ^ | 11/12/15 | Jesse Byrnes

Ben Carson is blasting fellow Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump's immigration proposals as outside the mainstream and impractical.

"I think they hurt Donald Trump in the long run," Carson said in an interview with the Washington Examiner published Thursday, referring to Trump's deportation plans.

"I think there are enough people who know that there are others in the race that are very reasonable. I don't think he necessarily is the representation of the Republican Party - far from it," Carson told the Examiner.

"The people that are here, the 11.5 million people here, rounding them up and deporting them may sound good to some people," Carson told the Examiner on Wednesday. "But it's not pragmatic."

"It also affects the farming industry, the hospitality industry. So, you know, we have to be pragmatic as a nation. There's no reason that they should have to live in the shadows," Carson said.

The “Pragmatic” was a Ronco gadet in the 70’s which provided answers to complex social questions and cooked turkeys.

FReep You Ben Carson (FUBC)!! GOPe RINOS need not apply. Let’s see, you’re for wage controls, gun control, TPP and now amnesty. You’re no better for America than Obama or Hillary!

“There’s no reason that they should have to live in the shadows,”

Yes there is Ben. That’s where they like to live in the shadows. They don’t want to be citizens. They like being Mexicans. They are here to suck up the goodies. They need to go home.

We have over 40 guest worker programs that allow people to come into the US and pick the crops etc then go home.

The hospitality industry my a$$, Ben.

Sheldon Adelson, the owner of the Venetian Hotel and other hotels in Las Vegas, is an open borders / amnesty advocate.

Meanwhile, he is worth far more than $30 billion dollars.

Hiring Americans only, and paying them their wages and benefits, would hardly make a dent in his vast fortune. You can’t take it with you, Mr. Adelson.

As for Ben Carson, I crossed him off my political dance card when he came out for amnesty. No thanks.

“The people that are here, the 11.5 million people here, rounding them up and deporting them may sound good to some people,” -— sounds good to me. Bye, Carson.
