Carson after tour: Syrian refugees don’t want to come to US
“I did not detect any great desire for them to come to the United States”, Carson told The Associated Press in a phone interview from Jordan. “Until it is safe for them to return home, Jordan is a safe place for them to wait”, Carson said.
“I think the military solution, obviously, is to try to exterminate ISIS and the other radical jihadists who will not allow peace to occur under any circumstances until they achieve their goals”, ht continued.
“I’d say he’s 75 percent of the way there”, Armstrong Williams, Carson’s longtime business manager and closest confidant, said last week of the candidate’s grasp of foreign policy. Why do you want to recreate the will when you have something that’s working?
Ben Carson compared potential terrorists hiding among Syrian refugees to “rabid dogs”, and CNN was so offended that it made sure to shine the spotlight on the Republican presidential nominee’s purported faux pas. “They need more money and long-term assistance”.
BRIANNA: I know that you were speaking to these refugees. “They want to go back home”, Carson said. They don’t want to stay there permanently, they want to be repatriated into their own country.
Carson did not advocate bringing Syrian refugees to the United States.
BRIANNA: Dr. Ben Carson thanks so much for joining us from Jordan we appreciate it. But rather than face situations like that, let’s go ahead and support the efforts and will really take care of millions of people. Seeing a fence with holes cut in it that people can easily go through, and that’s barrier. “It’s good to be able to see these things for yourself so you can actually begin to formulate the right kinds of policies with the real information”.
Turns out the statement-accompanied by a black-and white-photo of the retired neurosurgeon stroking the head of a sleeping baby-does nothing more than reinforce Carson’s view that refugees should not come to the US. With adequate funding, he thinks they would work well. If you do that, you solve that problem without exposing the American people to a population that could be infiltrated with terrorists who want to destroy us. Are we going to give that to them? He said officials should stop talking about accepting immigrants and turn their attention to support the facilities.
While Carson shares those governors’ opposition to resettling Syrians in the US, his comments on Saturday were in stark contrast to those of his fellow Republicans running for the party’s presidential nomination, with billionaire Donald Trump and Texas Senator Ted Cruz both suggesting refugees are in fact sleeper-cell agents for the Islamic State.
BRIANNA: I want to ask you about something were hearing from Tennessee.
