Ben Carson is riding high in the polls; in some he is tied in Iowa with Donald Trump. But one little detail: Ben Carson supports amnesty for illegal aliens. So why is Ben Carson riding high in the polls while Jeb Bush is down in the dumps?
-snip-
But the reason I think is paramount is that most people simply do not know that Ben Carson supports amnesty. Ben Carson supports amnesty for illegal aliens. Up until now no one has attacked him or highlighted his record. He's gotten a free ride.
Here, in his own words:
But let’s say we get them sealed, because certainly in a Carson administration that would be done within the first year. You also turn off the spigot that dispenses the goodies, so that people don’t have any incentive to come here. Then those who are here, we have to recognize that we can’t just round them up, but we can give them an opportunity to register. I would give them a six-month period. If they register, and if they have a pristine record, they haven’t been causing problems, I would give them an opportunity to become guest workers — not citizens, not voting people, not people who get goodies. I think that would be a fair way to do it. In terms of them becoming citizens later on down the road if they’ve done things the right way, we the American people will decide what the criteria for that ought to be.
I say that Ben may be like an English speaking Jeb not only because of his position on illegals, but for his generally moderate mindset as well.
He supports ethanol subsidies, for example, which, aside from enriching farmers, only raise the price of both fueling our car and

It is about time that free ride ended! His positions are atrocious! People need to do their homework.
Appeal? Trump and Carson are not part of the entrenched political class. Thanks for the information, jimbo123. It remains unclear whether they are extras in this kabuki theater of the community organizer/collectivists, by the community organizer collectivists,...
Carson’s best kept secret. He is not going to uphold the rule of law. He is the stealth amnesty candidate.
I agree, Carson has had an easy ride so far. And he IS a supporter of Amnesty and continuing the 1/2 century-old affirmative action policies/requirements of the government and political establishment.
NOT WANT!
It’s starting to look like Ben Carson is a manchurian candidate.
Ben Carson is a Pacifist, an elder in the SDA church that teaches its members to only serve in the military in non combatant roles. He cannot be Commander in Chief.
Carson said this week at a dinner he attended in honor of Al Sharpton, that he and Al have the same goals.
He wants Louis Farrakhan to be a lead policy advisor for the city of Chicago.
He wants to abolish Medicare.
He is ahead in Iowa because of pandering to Iowa farmers by supporting ethanol (corn) subsidies.
His supporters need to wake up!
The other candidates need to hammer him on his tale of telling the fast food robber to point the gun at the guy behind the counter. That shows his lack of character.
