Another thing to add to the list... (He's wrong.)
Carson on Border Apprehensions
Ben Carson said that “a lot” of the people captured crossing the U.S. border and then released are from Iraq, Somalia and Russia. He’s wrong.
Available statistics show that immigrants from those countries make up less than 1 percent of the people caught entering the U.S. illegally. They also represent less than 1 percent of the total number with criminal convictions who were later released from custody.
Carson, a Republican candidate for president, made the claim during a Sept. 25 speech at the Value Voter’s Summit, where he criticized U.S. efforts to patrol the border with Mexico.

If a lot is less then 1%, LOL. :lamo
We requested supporting evidence from Carson’s campaign, but we didn’t hear back.

It still comes down to securing the border. Even if it means amnesty for those already here if the border could be secured it would be worth it. Sad but true.

Oh, ok, I wouldn't say he is a liar though, just delusional. Liberals mean well, they just don't live in the real world. I try my best to back some of their ideals from a philosophical debate point of view, but at least I know they will never pan out, at least not in the current state of human development.

Anyone who calls an entire political group delusional isn't worthy of debating. There are intelligent and rational conservatives, and crazy liberals, etc, etc..

No one calls an entire group in debate we lump in attempt to keep the debate, if you can't understand that then perhaps you should remove yourself. There is always exceptions. I could say the same about the Nazis in WWII, you think every Nazi was a Jew hating genocidal extremist? You think every Muslim is a terrorist? No but we can debate on what the groups trend. Don't play stupid.

You just pulled a 180 on my point. It's not helping your position, it just solidified your ignorant BS. Using the logic I just posted would be that if one conservative was not a racist none of them are.

Wha..? You're the one who pulled out ridiculous logic first. I'm using your own logic.

No it would not be worth it, we could deport them and still secure the border.

The post I made was a joke to parrot the ridiculous logic of the poster I was responding to, the fact that you've responded with "no, we are white" is hilarious.
