Republican presidential candidate Ben Carson said there was no “rational reason” for sanctuary cities while saying border security doesn’t necessarily mean “you have to build fences and walls” and advocating for allowing illegal immigrants in the US to become guest workers if they register, pay back taxes, and pay taxes going forward on Friday’s “Your World with Neil Cavuto” on the Fox News Channel.
Carson began by saying, “a number of us are extremely concerned about this whole sanctuary city mess, but even more importantly, the illegal immigration problem that we have. I’ve spoken very strongly about that, and we need to go ahead and solve the problem. We have the ability to do it. We don’t have the will to do it.”
He continued, “What I would do is I would secure the borders, north, south, east, and west. That does not necessarily mean you have to build fences and walls. We can take advantage of electronic surveillance, drones, and a variety of technological features. And then, part two is we have to turn off the spigot that dispenses the goodies. If there’s no goodies, there’s no reason for people to try to breach our security wall, that takes care of the people coming in, but then you have the 11 plus million who are here already. What I would do is allow them to become guest workers. If they register, and they get involved in a back tax program and taxes going forward. That does not make them citizens. This does not give them the right to vote. If they want to do that, they can get in the back of the line and go through the process just like everybody else.”

Keep digging Ben. Eventually you will reach bottom.
Ben Carson....unfortunately, one of the dwarfs.
Sounds like Rubberio’s plan
ONLY after they have been fully vetted for illegally obtaining ID in order to register and vote illegally in our elections; at which time if they are found to have committed felony election fraud, they are immediately sent back to where they came from.
Meanwhile: all illegals in prisons and jails should be moved to temporary work camps along the border and put to work building the wall. After which they will be released on the other side.
And murderers should pay blood money to the victim’s families, and rapists should marry those they rape...
Bend over backwards to make line cutters benefit from their actions.
Just imagine how many legal immigrants we could have welcomed with open arms, had we not been invaded by those who cheat.
I prefer the Chinese Wall method - work ‘em to death building it, and put the bodies in the foundations.
Won’t solve the problem. Enforce the law. Secure the borders. Deport the illegals.
Carson is polling well.
Unfortunately it is for he same reason Obama was elected President.
White guilt.
Carson, a good man, offers nothing.

I wouldn't even trust him to do that, after all the other things he said.
Useless.
Ben said "And then, part two is we have to turn off the spigot that dispenses the goodies. If there’s no goodies, there’s no reason for people to try to breach our security wall, that takes care of the people coming in..."
Sounds to me like he said they should NOT collect benefits.
Carson is wrong, promoting a policy harmful to this country and to American workers, notably to black Americans. He is one candidate I now will not support.
No one seems to ask the question: will illegals comply and if they don’t what do we do with them. I bet many won’t.
If there is some form of amnesty there should be punishment if they refuse. Otherwise we will still be arguing about this in 2040.
Not a chance in hell. I though was a brilliant brain surgeon. Its starting to sound like he may need a little work on his own brain.
Your comment is so funny and so sad, and I am ashamed to be laughing, because he is such a nice man. lol
