Ben Carson in Jordan: ‘We Must Find a Political End’

Republican presidential candidate Ben Carson, whose grab of foreign analysis issues has-been referred to as in to query on the marketing crusade path, paid a shock visit Sat.to camps in Jordan housing Syrian refugees.

Carson has promised to offer real solutions to these problems in the coming days, problems which he believes were created in part by the Obama administration and Hillary Clinton.

Yet the plight of Syrian refugees has become a political hot potato in the USA, with half of the country’s governors declaring that Syrian refugees were not welcome in their states after the attacks in Paris on November 13. “Bringing 25,000 refugees to the United States will do nothing to solve this crisis”, stated Carson.

Said Carson: “We must end the war and prioritize helping the millions of Syrians who want to stay near their homes”. They want to go back to their lives.

“The United States must do more“, Carson stated about his trip to Jordan.

More than 4 million Syrians fled their homeland since 2011, after a popular uprising erupted against President Bashar Assad and quickly turned into a devastating civil war.

The campaign official told ABC News that the goal of the trip for Carson – who has made controversial comments about refugees – is to listen and meet with people in the region to get a better understanding of the refugee crisis and foreign policy dynamics in the region. “Jordan needs and deserves our help”, the statement added.

After comparing Syrian refugees to rabid dogs just a week ago, Republican presidential candidate Ben Carson – a neurosurgeon turned conservative Christian evangelist – significantly softened his tone Saturday after meeting with refugees in Jordan.

Overwhelmed host countries, particularly Lebanon and Jordan, have balked at the idea of longer-term integration of refugees.

Syrian refugees are largely barred from working legally and have to resort to informal, low-paying jobs if they can find employment at all.

“For Carson, it gives him a lot of difficulty”, said Andy Smith, the director of the University of New Hampshire Survey Center. “Americans can help by supporting humanitarian organizations on the ground”. They have complained that they are carrying an unfair burden while the worldwide community’s support has fallen short.

Millions of refugees have now been waiting years for the end of the war to come in Jordan, Lebanon and Turkey.
