Carson Says Rounding Up Illegals Not Practical


Dr. Ben Carson argued today at the Commonwealth Club that the mantra “let’s just round them all up and ship them back” is not feasible.  He said that the twelve million illegal immigrants living here can not be rounded up and deported because it would cripple the United States in various industries like farming and lodging.

Carson said, “You have to turn off the spigot that dispenses goodies, including employment. If there is nothing to come for, then people won’t come. That will stop the influx. You still have to deal with the people who are here already. And you know, it sounds really cool you know, ‘Let’s just round them all up and ship them back.’ People who say that have no idea what it would entail in terms of our legal system—the cost—forget about it. And plus, where are you going to send them? So that’s, you know, a double whammy.”

Do you fall on the side of “round ’em up and ship ’em out”?  Or do you see this as being unfeasible and are willing to find a workable solution?  Two perspectives, both worthy on their own merits, yet which one will work best for the economy?
