Republican presidential candidate Ben Carson says blocking potential terrorists from entering the USA through the Syrian refugee program is akin to handling a rabid dog.

“In the larger capacity we should monitor anything – mosques, church, school, you know, shopping centers where there is a lot of radicalization going on”, Carson said on ABC’s “This Week” on Sunday.
Carson criticized the idea floated by Trump, however, that Muslim immigrants should be treated differently than immigrants of other faiths.
“American citizens are already in a database”, he said. “One of the hallmarks of America is that we treat everybody the same”.
“Actually listen to my policies, actually listen to my solutions, you will find that they compare favorably with anybody”.
Friday was the last day of the filing period in New Hampshire, and any candidate who wished to submit their paperwork on the final day was required to do so in person.
“I think we should have a database on everybody who comes into this country”, Carson told reporters after filing for the New Hampshire primary yesterday. Like Hillary Clinton, Carson has Secret Service protection, which meant everyone had to be screened on Friday.
“Sorry if I seem reved up about this”, Pharoah said playing the presidential candidate about the vetting process for refugees.
Before Carson filed, infamous Vermin Supreme of Rockport, Mass., filed to run in the Democratic Primary, yelling he needed help because he was surrounded by media.
Supreme pushed his “pony economy” and said he would win the war with ISIS by putting “hoofs on the ground”.

After finishing the official filing ritual, Carson sat down with the New Hampshire press corps and was asked about his thoughts on Donald Trump’s assertion about a database in the United States to track Muslims.
