Wouldn't it make the most sense to send them to the country that they came from, as opposed to anywhere else, Doc?
"It sounds really cool, you know, 'Let's just round them all up and send them back,'" Carson said. "People who say that have no idea what that would entail in terms of our legal system, the costs - forget about it.
So Carson gives us the same canard as the rest of the GOP, i.e. "you can't possibly round them all up and send them home, so [by implication] we shouldn't even try." It's support for amnesty in an underhanded, roundabout way, i.e. "well, I'd like to do something about it, but we can't, so we won't." By the same logic, we should never arrest thieves, because the logistics of catching them all is also prohibitively expensive.
Now we see how thin Ben is...
Nice guy, no leadership...maybe surgeon general?
Nice defeatist attitude. Something like we've been hearing from our 'Republican' congress.
I think Carson is a decent person, but he’s wrong here.
This illegal immigration issue is the number one issue.
Business as usual is a wrong headed approach.
Carson is way out of his league.
He’s nice doctor, but certainly not the leader America needs.
Been saying for awhile - Dr. Carson makes me more uneasy than Trump makes his own haters. Perhaps some of the gentle, even-tempered, reasonable facade is lifting.
Carson dropped off my list when he came out for gun control. Here he continues to use the straw man argument “you can’t deport x million illegal aliens.”
We don’t have to. Cut them off from welfare and other freebies and put a correct interpretation on the 14th Amendment that puts an end to “anchor babies” and they will, mostly, self deport.
Bttt
too bad for ben. i think if he’d stayed true to himself as a little d, leftist dem, and faced up to an “impossible” looking battle with hilly, he’d have a real chance to be president now. just made all the wrong moves, ben.
Let me introduce liberal Ben Carson to President Eisenhower and Operation WETBACK!

They are over-complicating it.
Build the fence. Secure the border. That shuts off the new influx.
Enforce the law. Let the chips fall where they may. There is no timetable, you just shut off the influx and enforce the law and time will take care of the rest.
So then what is Carson talking about?
Mexico did it.
Uh, if we just quit giving them free foodstamps, free eduction, and free medical care (except in emergency cases), they would deport themselves.
The question is: who is paying for Carson’s campaign???
Ding, ding, ding - we have a thread winnah!
There 30 to 50 millions INSURGENTS maybe 12 million are Mexicans.. MAYBE...
HOW should “WE” ...GET... 30 million to ...Self-deport?..
SHOULD BE QUITE EASY.. actually..
A little of THIS and little THAT.. SHAZAAM.. immigration Problem OVER..
Operation wetback...
Ike wanted jobs for World War II vets... NOT for third world Mexicans.. President Eisenhower sent millions of illegals back to Mexico...
It can be done...

From Link:
Headed by the commissioner of Immigration and Naturalization Service, Gen. Joseph May Swing, the United States Border Patrol aided by municipal, county, state, and federal authorities, as well as the military, began a quasimilitary operation of search and seizure of all illegal immigrants. Fanning out from the lower Rio Grande valley, Operation Wetback moved northward. Illegal aliens were repatriated initially through Presidio because the Mexican city across the border, Ojinaga, had rail connections to the interior of Mexico by which workers could be quickly moved on to Durango.
A major concern of the operation was to discourage reentry by moving the workers far into the interior... It is difficult to estimate the number of illegal aliens forced to leave by the operation. The INS claimed as many as 1,300,000, though the number officially apprehended did not come anywhere near this total. The INS estimate rested on the claim that most aliens, fearing apprehension by the government, had voluntarily repatriated themselves before and during the operation.
The San Antonio district, which included all of Texas outside of El Paso and the Trans-Pecos,qv had officially apprehended slightly more than 80,000 aliens, and local INS officials claimed that an additional 500,000 to 700,000 had fled to Mexico before the campaign began.

Doc should start thinking outside the box. The common denominator that keeps Illegals here is.....MONEY. So, if they could not earn money (and couldn’t get welfare) they would return to their home country. Heavy fines on any American individual or company employing Illegals would work.
Hillary celebrates after hearing Carson finally go on board the D.C. talking point parade!
Sounds like Carson felt the need to PICK A SIDE.
And he sided with the Illegals. What a shame to see him flame out so fast - he had so much potential.
