"Dr. Ben Carson said America’s borders must be sealed to protect against terrorism and told a prominent group of Latino elected officials that he also supports giving illegal immigrants a path to legalization and eventual citizenship."
Regarding the country’s illegal immigrants, Carson said, “many of them have never known any other country … so where are you going to send them?”
Carson said the country 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.”
“And if they want to become citizens they have to get in the line with everyone else… because we have to pay homage to people who’ve done it the right way,” Carson added."
How is this any different than what everone in the GOPe is saying?
“Amnesty” is a dishonest inaccurate way to represent what Dr Carson is saying. Amnesty does not involve following a process as Dr Carson suggests. It does not involve taking a series of specific steps prior to receiving absolution.
The process Dr Carson outlines, places a penalty on the action of coming here illegally, which BTW was facilitated if not condoned by our Government.
Dr Carson said, “And if they want to become citizens they have to get in the line with everyone else… because we have to pay homage to people who’ve done it the right way,” Carson added.”
Again, I repeat, the use of the term “amnesty” is dishonest, inaccurate and intentionally inflammatory. It is in defensible in light of the actual definition of the word when compared to the words of Dr Carson. Game! Set! Match!
