Ben Carson Calls For Guest-Worker Status For Immigrants By JANIE HAR
SAN FRANCISCO (AP) — Republican presidential hopeful Ben Carson jabbed Tuesday at front-runner Donald Trump's proposal to deport everyone who is in the country illegally, calling the plan impractical.
"People who say that have no idea what that would entail" legally and otherwise, Carson said, adding: "Where you going to send them?"
The retired neurosurgeon spoke before The Commonwealth Club of California on Tuesday in a 75-minute event in which he took questions from the audience on topics ranging from abortion to immigration, taxation to race relations.
Carson's longshot candidacy is buoyed by humor and a self-deprecating demeanor that some would-be voters say they find refreshing. Trump, the brash front-runner in the GOP nomination fight, has made immigration a centerpiece of his candidacy. Trump says he would deport those living in the country illegally — estimated at 11 million people.
Carson said he would secure the border, but also grant guest-worker status to people who are in the country without documentation. That way, they can pay taxes and come out from the shadows, he said.
Mass deportation, he said, would be expensive and impractical, and crippling to the hotel and agriculture industries.

Yep ... surgeon general
They need to go to a LOTTERY system. Hispanics love the lottery. Send half of them back... They need to learn that disobeying regulations, Federal Law is NOT the way to enter the country. It won;t change until there is PAIN. Hear e now.
Nope!
Where to send them? Germany, France.
Sorry Ben...you’re becoming a non-starter with your inability to do anything other than what YOU perceive to be “nice”. Lawbreakers don’t deserve “nice”...PERIOD!
“Come out from the shadows?”
Is Carson kidding? The illegals are in our faces every day, from coast to coast.
And they’re still blathering about this “11 million” figure, when it’s probably 40 - 50 million?
Sure. Illegal aliens should be given “guest worker status” while the folks who obey the law wait in line.
Dr. Carson just joined Jeb and Christie on the list of people who I will NOT vote for in the General.
I’m not even sure about Attorney General for this guy.
He wants to bring in how many million Muslims?
At the same time he wants to take away weapons from anyone except those who live in the boonies.
Ben needs to team up with Elizabeth FauxIndian Warren.
Send them back to whatever crap hole they crawled out of, Ben. By any means necessary.
L
Doc. You are wrong!
I had high hopes for him but just WTF!?
I guess it's true, only Trump can build the wall!
Nice Guys . . finish last.
“Where you going to send them?”
How about to your house, Doc?
I hope some of the Republican primary low information voters start realizing how weak this guy is.
Like Trump, he’ll say the opposite soon enough.
Catching every single criminal of any category of crime can be considered "impractical"... but you are expected to do everything you can to try. It is impractical to say you are going to catch and prosecute every burglar in this country, or every car thief in this country.
Those tasked with enforcement of certain laws need to be given the resources to to do the best job they can, and the legislators should work with the enforcers to to make their best effort to catch and deport every illegal invader possible.
I think it isn't near as impractical as Dr. Carson says it is.
If Dr. Carson does not feel he is up to the task, then he needs to step aside and back someone that is ready to do his Constitutional duty.
Carson couldn’t possibly be this stupid that he doesn’t realize the consequences of this policy.
Bye Uncle Ben. You just lost the call to be VP. Sorry. Now it’s Newt for VP!!
Geez, aren’t they already “overstaying guest”? Time to go home. I was never high on Ben, but this seals the deal for me.
