I like Ben Carson. A lot. But he isn’t without flawed positions.
His 2nd Amendment misstep a few years ago is one he’s somewhat redeemed himself for. But when it comes to his support of amnesty, this one is current and he’s going to have a difficult time backtracking.
In fact, Ben Carson’s position on dealing with what is now probably closer to 20 million illegal immigrants is really no different than that of Jeb Bush. I know some Carson fans are going to hate me for saying this, but Ben Carson is openly declaring he’s for amnesty.
For starters, when asked about deportation, Carson said “many of them have never known any other country … so where are you going to send them?”
Well, my question is… why is that our problem? They have a home country of origin. That’s where they need to go. This is not their country!
Then Carson said we must “provide them a way so that they don’t have to hide in the shadows” and “give them an opportunity to become guest-workers–they have to register, they have to enroll in a back tax program.”
Let’s not pretend this is something that it’s not. It’s amnesty. It’s almost exactly what Jeb Bush wants.
And that’s a shame.
H/T: Breitbart.
Facts:
1) Except in the very odd/exceptional election year of 1964, the Dems haven’t cracked 50% of the whites in a Presidential election since 1932.
2) Once the ‘64 election was over, the Dems understood that they would never win another Presidential election again unless the Republicans REALLY screwed up...or unless they changed the electorate in a dramatic way.
3) The Dems, courtesy of Bobby Kennedy who wrote the law, and Teddy Kennedy who pushed it in the Senate, passed the 1965 Immigration Act. That law dramatically reduced immigration from our then-traditional large sources of immigrants - England, Ireland, Holland, Germany, etc. - and replaced them with vast numbers of Turd Worlders...whom everyone knows vote around 80% for Dems, and will continue to do so for the rest of their lives, as new immigrants have traditionally done.
4) As a result of the ‘65 Act, and due to the Dem’s outright lying in ‘86 regarding an effective (or any) fence, there are now probably 30 - 40 million illegals in this nation. Note that the (probably low-ball) figure in 2005 was 11 million...we have 2-3 million come in every year, so simple math says that the number is actually somewhere between 31 and 41 million). If any substantial portion of these people ever become citizens, then the Dems will have accomplished a complete shift of the electorate, and will be virtually invincible on the national level. Every state will become like California, both politically and economically - which is to say, overwhelming Dem and broke. But at least if you don’t like California now, you can leave for a better place without much trouble - where are you going to go if EVERY state is like that?
5) Every Republican, and every Conservative voter MUST UNDERSTAND that if such a state of affairs comes to be, NO OTHER ISSUE WILL MATTER AT ALL, because we will ALWAYS AND FOREVER lose on those issues. Immigration is THE issue of this election, and this election is as critical as the 1860 election was - and for the same reason, because it will determine whether this nation continues on as it has existed in the past, or becomes a new and unrecognizable entity that simply occupies the same geographic territory.
Please wake up, and help others to do so by sending them this post (or recommending “Adios America” to them). It really is THAT important.
Carson is a flawed candidate. Yes, he’s a talented surgeon, but he’s no conservative.
Yep. I cannot support squishy on invasion.
I guess Ben is envious of Bush’s 9%. I hope he is headed to single digits.
The GOPe is pushing Ben now because they know they can run roughshod over him later if he can get Trump out.
Carson is being used.
Ben’s high poll numbers are from Operation Chaos in reverse.
Methinks this is a calculated bet that eventually the RNC/GOPe will clear the field and let Jeb be the last man standing.
Hasn’t Carson started paying his GOPe dues by attacking Trump as of late?
If so, this gives him a chance at the Veep spot w/Jeb.
Never could warm up to this guy....not sure why but history has proven over and over again that people using the BIBLE for personal gain turn out to be real scumbags....
Yep that’s right, and so is Jingal, and Carly....Bush is done....Perry is done....the rest, other than Cruz, is done....
It’s just the GOPe doing this, they don’t know what else to do...they are really running scared....
Sayonara Ben.
I can’t figure why Carson is doing so well in the polls. The guy puts me to sleep.
a little bit of Amnesty, and a little gun control, and a little bit of abortion is okay
Carson is a good man, but is not tough enough to be POTUS. He wants to be all things to all people.
I never understood the appeal of Carson, and before him Cain. Is it because there are a lot of conservatives who are itching to find a black candidate they can support, and they’ll go for any black that puts an R after his name?
Thank you for posting this. Word needs to get out that Carson believes it is immoral to deport these invaders. We do not need another President who will not enforce our laws.
It’s a process of elimination poll...you vote for whoever is left....”with no record”.
I really wanted Ben to be better than this.

It’s 30 million if it is one illegal.
