Surging Ben Carson Knocks Trump Immigration Plan

Romney was and is evil. He profits from Planned Parenthood directly via Stericycle. Who he legislated on behalf of.

It might be cheaper to deport them if you hadn’t committed to bring at least 6 million back and giving them legal status. Obama wanted to give legal status to 5 million and the folks here had a fit, now Trump wants to give legal status to at least 6 million and its a good idea.

[LouAvul]

Carson has already limited himself with his narrow thinking. There are tons of ways to get illegals out of here. Stop with the welfare for these people. Stop bullying law enforcement into coddling these people. And here's a big one: fine companies who hire illegals.

Take off the gloves and they'll self deport.

[TornadoAlley3]

Hell, we round them up now and let them go.

[InterceptPoint]

Uh oh, Dr. Carson - not a good move on your part.

Yep. I’m thinking that “Silicone Valley Ben” may have just taken the first few steps down in the polls.

[GOPJ]

Wrong.

If we show ‘compassion’ for these 19 million - it encourages the next 19 million.

Then what?

Do we show ‘compassion’ for that 19 million - giving incentives to the next 19 million illegals?

Carson's wrong on this one.

[GOPJ]

Carson’s thinking in terms of how he’s perceived - NOT what’s best for the country.

That’s a mistake on his part...

[apocalypto]

Removal of people is not too costly. Instead, it is too costly not to remove them. It is crazy to accept that anybody has the right to force their way into this country.

Other countries have deported huge numbers of people. It should be done both directly and by having them self-deport by denying them social services and jobs.

[Iron Munro]

Does Carson intentionally want to poison his own candidacy or doesn’t he realize that Trump’s promise to deal decisively with the illegals is the position driving his popularity and surge to the lead?

[grania]

Trump doesn't seem to attack unless someone aims for him with the first volley. Look at the Trump/Cruz friendship. Trump never criticizes Cruz, but he has brought up the issue of candidates who accepts large donations from deep-pocket sponsors. Trump has expressed fondness and respect for Dr. Carson. The only near-attack was when he said Carson running a doctor's office was not enough experience in job creation to have developed the skills necessary to solve that problem.

Trump's a class act (gosh, will I hear it for that comment?) I suspect that he might attack the policy of accepting invaders without attacking Dr. Carson by name.

[Tucker39]

Well, then we’ll deport them; to southern Mexico, on a pitching, rolling rust bucket. It will be so miserable they will NEVER sneak back for another round. And of course, there will be the wall, fence, moat, drones, Border Guards, too.

[Wilderness Conservative]

Enforce the laws and most will self deport. Then it’s only a matter of rounding up the worst of the worse.

[NTHockey]

Another idiot that doesn’t understand how to end illegal immigration. If you make it so difficult to work, they will go back of their own accord.

To imply that Trump’s plan - or anybody else’s plan - hinges on “forced round ups’ is a liar and a moron, neither trait is welcome in a President. We’ve had 8 years of that already and look at where it has gotten us.

[Hojczyk]

Ike deported 2,000,000 in the 1950’s…..he did not have the lawyer problem

[itssme]

President Dwight Eisenhower had a plan of action to remove illegals from this country and he was successful in doing so!

It can be done! Google Eisenhower and see what he did and how he did it. And to all those who say, “we can't deport them, my reply to you is “the hell we can't.”

[VideoDoctor]

Carson is busy discussing the semantics of the issue.

That's what they do all day long in Wash D.C. and then vote the way of "special interests."

[EQAndyBuzz]

“Good luck Dr. Carson. I really admire you though I am pulling for Trump/Cruz.”

Just gave everyone reason to move their support from Carson to Trump/Cruz.

Thank you Dr. Carson.

[nclaurel]

His saying it is on TV. Guess Mr Carson is not aware President Eisenhower deported illegals with much less tracking technology than is available today. NSA knows where everyone on the grid is and illegals in NC love their Obama phones.

[I Hired Craig Livingstone]

Border Guard “Bouncing Betty”...

[TomGuy]

Carson is a nice guy, by all accounts; but he sure is dumb.

Not so much dumb as naive. The Dr.'s experience has been in directing a hospital operation theater. It is a massively major jump to think that qualifies him to run a government of hundreds of agencies, bureaus, departments and a few million employees, while facing down Putin, the Chinese, NKorea, the Iranian Ayatollahs, ISIS/ISIL, while also trying to create an economic atmosphere to reemploy 90+million workers sidelined from the workforce, while dealing with the illegal immigration invasion, etc.
