Carson says Syrian refugees don’t want to come to US

“It seems like everybody in the worldwide community is spending more time saying, “How can we bring refugees here?’ rather than, ‘How can we support a facility that is already in place that the refugees are finding perfectly fine when it’s adequately funded?'” Carson said on CBS” “Face The Nation”.

In addition, it’s worth looking at the situation at the Azraq camp, which is the newer and significantly more advanced of the two camps that Carson toured.

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.

“Is that going to be easier from a neighboring country or is that going to be easier from the United States of America?” he said on “This Week”. They want to go back to their lives. Last week, he likened blocking potential terrorists posing as Syrian refugees to handling a rabid dog.

It also comes just a few days after Carson brought on a new adviser on faith matters, Johnnie Moore, who is known for his activism on behalf of Christians in the Middle East. He said this month in a Washington Post article about the religious politics of refugees that Christians should be a higher priority for Americans than Muslims because there are no nearby countries in the Middle East with large Christian populations where they can easily resettle. Colyer said the visit to Jordan gave the presidential candidate “the opportunity to meet Syrians first-hand and listen to their stories”.

Hundreds of thousands of refugees from Syria and other war-torn countries have poured into Europe since January, fleeing the carnage in their homelands, the vast majority from Syria. “Who are the people who want to come in here and hurt us and want to destroy us?”

“If it’s a five-year-old orphan or a child, or if it’s a 90-year-old woman who’s coming to this country, if this is an established leader of the Chaldean religion, someone that we know about that you can vet, common sense says, OK you can vet them”, Rubio told the Guardian in an interview last week. Why do you want to recreate the wheel when you have something that’s working? Many of those refugees live in squalid camps run by the United Nations, which in 2015 experienced a US$900 million funding shortfall.

Carson said that the Jordanians have done a “yeoman’s job” in setting up their refugee camps and repeated his outlook that the US taking in 10,000-25,000 refugees would ultimately not help these people fleeing conflict. Some GOP candidates said they fear terrorists could sneak into the USA among them. He said officials should stop talking about accepting immigrants and turn their attention to support the facilities.

Carson also told NBC that individuals on both sides of the abortion debate should dial down their rhetoric in the wake of a shooting spree at a Planned Parenthood clinic in Colorado that killed three people.
