Republican presidential hopeful Ben Carson traveled to Jordan to meet with Syrian refugees Friday, according to his campaign.
"Dr Carson and a small group are in Jordan," a campaign aide said. "There was no intention to make this a press event. He is there fact finding, listening, learning and meeting."
The goal of the surprise trip is to better understand the refugee crisis stemming from Syria's brutal civil war, his campaign told The New York Times, which was first to report the news -- and the trip comes as he struggles in the race with a renewed focus on foreign policy and national security.
Carson left for Jordan late Thanksgiving Day, The New York Times reported. He will visit the United Nations-run Azraq refugee camp in the northern part of the country, stopping at a clinic and hospital.
The Carson campaign said there would be no public events but it may release pictures and a statement after the visit.
The retired pediatric neurosurgeon is also bringing soccer balls and Beanie Babies for children in the camp and visiting a women's and girl's center, according to the Times.
Carson told the Times it's best to have "firsthand knowledge" of a situation.

So how many Christian refugees did he meet?
Little moslems grow up to be big moslems who kill you.
He will be a legend in his own mind.

That ship has sailed.
And wrecked on the kookville reef.
Soon to be known as has-Ben Carson.
That’s why the Sicilian Mafioso wanted to kill young Vito. He knew he would be big one day and seek revenge.
And he did :)
Ben’s a doctor. He can stay there and treat the sick refugees while they are taken in by Saudi Arabia and Qatar,.
[He will be a legend in his own mind.]
The photo-op will be another trophy on CARSON’S wall.
BEN CARSONâS love affair with himself along with the embellished recanting of his past sends up a red flag.
Do we need another Narcissist in Chief?
Even the rabid ones?
I wonder if the refugees will do a painting of Carson with Mohammed in the background, like the one he has of himself and Jesus ?
Christian or Muslim?
Are they REALLY Syrian?
“Ben Carson travels to Jordan to meet Syrian refugees”
Wait, what? Isn’t that Hillary’s job?
“I wonder if the refugees will do a painting of Carson with Mohammed in the background, like the one he has of himself and Jesus ?”
Most likely a painting with Ben, the Egyptian pyramids, and some refugees. After all, the refugees built the pyramids for the ancient Jews to store their grain in, right?
Why is Carson going to Syria? He stands as much chance of getting the GOP nomination as I do, and that’s ZERO!
To paraphrase the late, great Don Gibson.
“If mumbling and lying meant world acclaim then everyone would know my name, I’d be a legend in my time.”
Was he amazed at how such brain damaged creatures could survive?
JORDON? “refugees” - the ISIS terrorists of Jordon that shot down the Russian rescue helicopter?
Curious - If ISIS isn’t in Jordon - how could THEY shoot down a rescue chopper that was trying to retrieve pilots shot down in Jordon???
That aside - What the HE*L is Carson thinking - JORDON?????
Erdogan????
Is Carson on O’bummer’s side too?
Or is he the stupid genius - a genius on one field and number’n a rock in all others -
