On Wednesday, Dr. Ben Carson said Americas 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 bordersnorth, south, east, and westis not so much because Im afraid of somebody from Honduras.
Im afraid of someone from Syria who wants to bomb us, who wants to do bad things, he said. So thats 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 wouldnt see a reason to come here.

Watch the GOPe start to salivate over Ben and really go whole hog on using him to paint Trump an extremist.
I expect them to do just that.
Bye bye
Go back to rocket surgery, Doc.
Yeah, he just doesn't have it. Seems to be a nice guy, though. Just misguided. I can't support him.
I get the fantods.
Carly true blue? She is on the wrong side of every important issue. Amnesty, green cards, H1B visas, jobs for Americans, common core, pro-Islam, play the gender card, trade deals, etc. She is a globalist through and through! If you love the GOPe working to destroy America, then vote for Carly.
“There is no job that is America’s God-given right anymore.”

Really amazing how deeply this concept of open borders & endless immigration has beclouded people in this nation. A tragic sickness.
Too bad, I kinda liked him.

Same here.~sigh~
Ben Carson is a great story and a great guy. He is not conservative on many issues. I want him for a neighbor and a doctor, not my president.
Walker has done a lot of good things that required fortitude and determination but has since waffled and trimmed his message to suit different audiences.
Most of the rest of them are Bush votes, in the running to split the conservative vote and soak up the money then drop out as their percentages decline and throw their support and delegates to Bush.Splitting the conservative vote would, before the advent of Trump, would keep any conservative from winning majorities in 8 states, the requirement to be considered at the convention. Meantime Bush is guaranteed that many majorities in the Democrat states that never vote Republican in elections.
No one gets a bigger affirmative action boost than a black Republican candidate. OK, maybe a black Democrat... but still.
I mean, seriously. Herman flippin’ Cain was the front-runner for a while last time around.

Besides saying the obvious regarding Amnesty, the above also shows that he simply IS NOT UP TO THE TASK.
There are almost 200 countries in the world. Guess WHICH ONE has the HIGHEST MURDER RATE - in the world. That’s right, Honduras. Pretty much the whole country is like Baltimore has become. There is plenty to be afraid of with trainloads of those animals coming here.
Yes, he may be nice guy, and a smart guy, but his 15 minutes of fame just ended tonight.
“Why does he poll so high with republicans? Because hes black? I have to think so. Damn white guilt, get over it already.”
It’s more like bragging rights: “Our black is better than your black, nanananana”
I was never worried about him...he showed he was unprepared for the job when he wanted to suspend the Second Amendment for inner cities.

Kind of a Pollyanna, huh? Like a few anti-Trump freepers.
Too bad.
I still like him, but he’s not presidential timbre.
FUBC !
The west tried that and it was rather successful for several hundred years. They called it colonization. Then they gave them their independence and the places became hell holes... and now those people want to again live with their former “masters”.
Recolonization may the only solution to the third world problem - but it ain’t going to happen.
“We could take over these failed countries, then return their citizens, and give them a helping hand. Fix the problem so they stop coming here. “
With what/who’s money? Everything south of our southern border is corrupt to the core, or at least the majority of it is, and with each change of “leadership” one country after another down there turns “Venezuelan” until the next revolution. We need to seal our border and let them figure things out for themselves without our money or our troops. Can you imagine the time and cost involved in just fixing Mexico? That is if it could ever be done at all.
