Carson's stance on refugees

In his recent interview with Brianna Keilar, Carson announced that he believes Syrian refugees would be happier if they relocated to another part of Syria instead of in the U.S. "The thing that I really learned in listening to the refugees themselves is their intense desire is to return to their country and repatriated," Carson said. He goes on to say, "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 and we need to be looking at mechanisms that already exist. Why do you want to recreate the wheel when you have something that's working? Let's maximize that and then let's think about if we need recreate other wheels." He supports spending more money to aid the refugee camps, rather than resettling small numbers of those refugees. He says that getting them money is what is really important. He said refugees told him that "their desire, their true desire is to be resettled in Syria." I personally believe that if that is true, that what they really want is to be in Syria, but adequately funded to make living there better, then that's what we should do. However, I really don't think that's the case. Syria is an unstable place and no amount of money that we donate is going to fix the problems they have there. So, even though Carson supports sending money and not taking refugees in, I really don't think that's the best option. There are a lot of Americans though that would prefer to have no refugees come into our country and so I think that this idea that Carson supports will be popular among a lot of Americans.
