Ben Carson: US Needs To Stop Immigrants From Troubled Countries From Entering
Source: CBS News Los Angeles
COSTA MESA (CBSLA.com) Republican presidential candidate Ben Carson said the San Bernardino terror attack clearly indicated that it is time to stop letting immigrants from Syria and other troubled parts of the world from entering the United States, at least temporarily.
He spoke to CBSs Dave Bryan at a fundraiser in Costa Mesa on Friday. Were going to put a moratorium on bringing people in here who are suspicious, said the 64-year-old GOP presidential hopeful. I would just say, right now, were going to halt this until we can put in place something that actually works.
But one of the shooters in the San Bernardino terror attack, Syed Farook, was born in the U.S. His wife, Tashfeen Malik, had a passport from Pakistan and came to America on a fiance visa because she was marrying Farook. She is believed to have had no record of terror activity. So it is unclear what kind of immigration screening system would have rejected her entry.
When asked how he would deal with home-grown terrorists, Carson said: I think what we need to do is to monitor the Internet. We need to monitor social media. I dont see anything wrong with trying to disrupt their communication. Being able to target them. Being able to target their servers. The retired neurosurgeon said another solution is to teach people to be vigilant. The greatest defense will be the American people themselves. When you see something, say something, he said.

the Lord your God is God of gods and Lord of lords, the great God, mighty and awesome, who is not partial and takes no bribe, who executes justice for the orphan and the widow, and who loves the strangers, providing them with food and clothing. You shall also love the stranger, for you were strangers in the land of Egypt.
Sure says to me that refugees are to be welcomed.

say what you want about carson, but I honestly believe he really isn't all that bright.
someone should interview some of his past patients.
