For Ben Carson, Refugees Are Equivalent To Rabid Dogs
Dr. Ben Carson, the neurosurgeon who is now polling in second place for the Republican nomination for president, compared Syrian refugees to “rabid dogs”.
Carson has called for Congress to cut off funding to programs used to bring refugees into the country. “If there is a rabid hound running around your neighborhood, you’re probably not going to assume something acceptable about in that dog”.
But you’re going to put your intellect into motion and you’re thinking “How do I protect my children at the same time?”
Carson called for immigration “screening mechanisms that allow us to determine who the mad dogs are”. We want leaders who are usually not exclusively sensible still who care about different people.
Several state governors – almost all of them Republican – have also pledged to close their doors to any Syrian refugees, though they may not have a legal leg to stand on to keep their promise.
It would require the Federal Bureau of Investigation to conduct background checks on people coming to the US from those countries. “With the assistance and full support of the Alabama Legislature, one of the most significant things we have done in the Secretary of State’s Office is change the primary date to March 1”.
When asked if the Islamic State now is a bigger threat to the US than al Qaeda around the time of the 9/11 attack, Carson did not hesitate, responding in the affirmative.
Many GOP figures frequently blast “radical Islamic terrorism”. “They have to be”, replied Trump.
Carson said, “Islam itself is not necessarily our adversary”.
“We must balance safety against just being a humanitarian”, Carson said. There are those that want to give away all that for political correctness.
Carson’s comments come days after a few people in and around his campaign offered public concerns about his command of foreign policy.
“Nobody has been able to sit down with him and have him get one iota of intelligent information about the Middle East”, Clarridge told reporter Trip Gabriel. While Obama administration officials have insisted there is no evidence of a Chinese presence in Syria, Carson and his campaign said that his statement was misinterpreted by the press.
The Internet was all a-twitter this week as Ben Carson’s campaign sent out a map showing states refusing to accept Syrian refugees that somehow shuffled states in the Northeast around so that Vermont and NY got hundreds of miles of new beach coastline and ME jutted into Canada.
