Ben Carson Blames Measles Outbreak On 'Undocumented People'
Potential 2016 candidate Dr. Ben Carson, who has expressed support for strict vaccination policies, on Tuesday linked the measles outbreak in California to undocumented immigrants.
CNN's Jake Tapper asked Carson if parents' decisions not to vaccinate their children led to the outbreak.
"It is a good example of what happens," Carson responded.
But he then suggested that the outbreak may have started with undocumented immigrants.
"These are things that we had under control. We have to account for the fact that we now have people coming into the country sometimes undocumented people who perhaps have diseases that we had under control," he said. "So now we need to be doubly vigilant about making sure that we immunize them to keep them from getting diseases that once were under control."
