Yes, you read that correctly.
The Republican activist bravely offered the very new idea that he wants to have secure borders, calling on the government to adopt policies learned from security personnel in prisons and other secured facilities while lamenting that children of undocumented immigrants can enroll in public schools, a constitutional right.
Carson also demanded that the government begin deporting undocumented immigrants for the extremely rare incidents of voter fraud and revoking the citizenship that they do not have: Anyone caught involved in voter fraud should be immediately deported and have his citizenship revoked.
I'm beginning to think that neurosurgery must be a lot easier than I'd always thought.

(111,276 posts)who pioneered a lot of techniques for separating conjoined twins who shared brain structures and circulation. He was a truly great surgeon.
However, like a lot of great experts, he's dumb as a stump the minute he sticks a toe outside his field. If he hadn't chosen politics to be a dumbass about, there would likely be no problem, people would just roll their eyes and order another drink.
Unfortunately, he's chosen politics and that has made him a dangerous dumbass. Too many people think expertise in one area confers it in all others and nothing could be farther from the truth, especially for Dr. Ben Carson.

(31,849 posts)Perhaps someone should explain to you that only naturalized citizens can have their citizenships, revoked, and even ignoring how voting, a right of all citizens, can commit voter fraud by voting, committing voter fraud isn't grounds for denaturalization.

But taking him at his uninformed word, WHERE does he propose that Roxanne Rubin, Colin Small, Nathan Sproul, and Robert Monroe, be deported to?
