Ben Carson is blasting fellow Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump's immigration proposals as outside the mainstream and impractical.
"I think they hurt Donald Trump in the long run," Carson said in an interview with the Washington Examiner published Thursday, referring to Trump's deportation plans.
"I think there are enough people who know that there are others in the race that are very reasonable. I don't think he necessarily is the representation of the Republican Party - far from it," Carson told the Examiner.

"The people that are here, the 11.5 million people here, rounding them up and deporting them may sound good to some people," Carson told the Examiner on Wednesday. "But it's not pragmatic."
"It also affects the farming industry, the hospitality industry. So, you know, we have to be pragmatic as a nation. There's no reason that they should have to live in the shadows," Carson said.

Turn the spigot off.
Once illegals are no longer afforded just about every American amenity that citizens have a available to them, they will leave in droves.
Maybe Trump should stab and or beat all the illegals over the head with a hammer, Dr.
Carson, take two of these and call me in the morning.
Placebos but maybe he’ll shut up.
And the hits just keep on comin’.
Don't forget the prison industry Ben as well.
Is it pragmatic to have them live in the prisons rather than the shadows? What an idiot.
FUBC
You’re right, Dr.; they absolutely should NOT live in the shadows—they should live back in the 3rd world sh*&-holes they came from.
Of course not. It’s American! No borders, no country!
Considering the cost of allowing illegal aliens to suck up gubmint benefits and services for the rest of their lives, it is even less pragmatic to allow them to stay here.
A lot of us thought he was weak on immigration. Now this just proves it in spades. Sorry you Carson supporters. I wonder how Rush is going to handle this news?
Wanna bet Ben?
Don’t go away mad, Carson, just go away. You’re way over your head if you can’t figure out that we’re losing our country. Or do you just not care?
“It also affects the farming industry, the hospitality industry”
So?
Necessity is the mother of invention.
We have plenty of people on welfare and not working. We have just as many that need a 2nd job or some seasonal work.
Carson knows nothing about this.
They infest the cities and dole, they are not sitting 30-40 million in our groves working.
exactly correcto!
11? 30 million? i’ve heard those media/ruling class lies, but 11.5 million?
It makes you wonder if ANY of them would be taking this issue seriously if Trump never got in.
We know now that 99% of them are ok with leaving them all here.
Do I want to place a wager with Ben?
Do I want to wager Ben (as collateral) with another person?
Your reply is confusing. :)
