Carson said he will offer “real solutions” to the refugee crisis in the coming days – a crisis, he said, “created in part by the Obama (and) Clinton Administration’s failed policies”. Asked whether this trip is an acknowledgement he wasn’t prepared to be commander-in-chief.

In the photos, Carson is seen meeting with refugees, medical personnel and relief workers. The majority of Republican contenders oppose such a move. “And their main desire is to be repatriated in their homeland”. As most people understand, being smart and capable does not mean you know everything but that you know how to find the answers and make careful, thoughtful decisions. “They can not continue that without help from the worldwide community”. “Recognize that in these camps they have schools, they have recreational facilities that are really quite nice”, Carson said on CNN’s “State of the Union”. And their all kind of things that make life more tolerable. “We get into our separate corners and we hate each other and we want to destroy those who we disagree”. He says he went to Jordan so he can have a better understanding of the issue. One of the top lawmakers there actually suggested using the National Guard to round up the refugees who are already settled in the USA and send them back.

“I know they have said if we bring refugees [to the United States], they [the Islamic State group] will infiltrate them”. And all you need is the resources to be able to run them. We need to stop whining and start winning. The Kentucky senator Rand Paul has also pushed legislation against refugees, including a measure that would stop refugees from “high-risk” countries receiving federal social welfare assistance. And I think we need to work in close conjunction with our Department of Defense, with our experts. He said officials should stop talking about accepting immigrants and turn their attention to support the facilities. “And what he is did is absolutely abominable, especially to those of us in the pro-life movement, because there’s nothing about any of us that would condone or in any way look the other way at something like this”. Yes, and I’ve certainly talked to some people about that. “That’s the same amount of money we spent last month on Halloween candy”. The UN estimates that 86% of Jordan’s Syrian refugees live below the country’s poverty line, and that estimate came before 229,000 of those outside the camps lost their food aid in September thanks to the billions of dollars in funding gaps being suffered by struggling aid agencies.
