BEN CARSON: BORDERS MUST BE SEALED TO KEEP TERRORISTS OUT; ILLEGALS SHOULD BE GIVEN PATH TO AMNESTY
Breitbart ^ | 9/2/15 | BREITBART NEWS

Posted on 09/02/2015 7:15:18 PM PDT by Amntn

On Wednesday, Dr. Ben Carson said America’s borders must be sealed to protect against terrorism and told a prominent group of Latino elected officials that he also supports giving illegal immigrants a path to legalization and eventual citizenship.

Addressing the National Association of Latino Elected and Appointed Officials (NALEO) in Nevada, Carson said that “the reason that I think we need to seal our borders completely… all of our borders–north, south, east, and west–is not so much because I’m afraid of somebody from Honduras.”

“I’m afraid of someone from Syria who wants to bomb us, who wants to do bad things,” he said. “So that’s the main reason that we need to seal all of our borders.”

Carson said that “we do have an illegal immigration problem that would be solved if we sealed the borders and cease the benefits” so that “people wouldn’t see a reason to come here.”

He’s just peaked. Wrong answer on illegals.

Why does he poll so high with republicans?

Well, most R's voted for Boosh. Until millions found they were being conned.

So, in one day - Fiorina puts her Left foot in her mouth - and Carson puts his Left foot in his.

Two more down. Several more to go - but methinks the real choice is going to be either Trump or Cruz - the rest are pliable for the Establishment Cabal to manipulate.

I was noncommittal on Ben.

Not anymore.

Sorry, Ben, those are the wrong positions to take. Cruz and Trump, despite their shortcomings, look much better.

Yup.

Racist Black America will never vote for Carson because he’s the house ni***h. Quite simply, a black Republican is an Uncle Tom.

He will never be President.

Carson blew it with us because we just found out he is an idiot for Amnesty.

But will voters get to know this? I doubt it. I didn’t know until I read this article 5 minutes ago. No way would I support Carson.

Amnesty = 30 million new democrat voters = a USA socialist state = the end of freedom.

Carson can go jump in the lake . I hate him

"Why does he poll so high with republicans?"

Because he is a polite soft spoken outsider. People think he is a pc version of Trump and they don't yet know that he supports amnesty.

I didn't know it until I read this article.

He’s soft on the 2nd Amendment, that was known like last year.

He doesn’t want to make all guns illegal. He just wants to make semi-automatic weapons illegal for people who live in urban areas.

And who is going to determine what is urban and what is rural??

Damn. I need a weapon when I go out in my own driveway and they’s a 400 bear out there. And what about the copper head by the back door.

Of course amnesty would destroy this country. Illegal aliens and hordes of immigrants from enemy nations pose a serious threat to our future. This is obvious. It's disappointing and a mystery why Carson fails to comprehend this.

I read Ann Coulter's book "Adios, America" and highly recommend it.

Why does he (Carson) poll so high with Republicans?

Perhaps they are Republicans who are totally fed up with Republican politicians, and know they won't vote for them. If they haven't warmed up to The Donald yet, they will. When they are disillusioned with Carson and Fiona, why would they ever go back to a bought-and-paid for pol?

Shaky on guns
shaky on illegals

Shaky is a much gentler term than perhaps I would use but adequate, I guess. I think Dr. Carson is a good man that's not fully worked through all of his positions.
