In his book, 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 these undocumented workerswe all know thatyet we continue to harass and deport many individuals who are simply seeking a better life for themselves 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)

If private people want to help out foreigners at their own expense... that might be wonderful. Even as guests.
Carson seems to be winking at the idea of pulling them onto the welfare rolls, however. That’s not a better life.
