During a foreign policy trip to the middle east, presidential candidate Ben Carson Sunday said he thought the Jordanian facilities housing Syrian refugees were “really quite nice.”

Reflecting on his visit, Carson told CNN that refugees, “are satisfied to be in the refugee camps if the refugee camps are adequately funded,” adding “in these camps they have schools, they have recreational facilities that are really quite nice. And there are all kind of things that make life more tolerable.”

Carson said during his trip he realized many refugees share “an intense desire” to go back home noting he was “a little bit surprised” to learn not all refugees are interested in migrating to America.

“There’s so many people who think the ideal for everybody is to come to America and be resettled here, but that is not the ideal for everybody,” Carson said.

his hotel accommodations.

So for his next act when he gets home he'll be trying to explain that we don't need to help refugees find safety in other countries, like in the EU and US, we can just send them back home.
