Republican presidential candidate Ben Carson said the U.S. should bar refugees from war-torn Syria because they are "infiltrated with Jihadists," who seek to harm America.
The comments come as Carson has taken an increasingly aggressive stance toward Muslims, and a day after national GOP poll leader Donald Trump pledged he would support deporting Syrian Muslims.
"To bring into this country groups infiltrated with Jihadists makes no sense," Carson told about 150 at the Des Moines Rotary Club's monthly morning breakfast meeting. "Why would you do something like that?"
Instead, Carson recommended that the U.S. help settle Syrian refugees in the Middle East, in places such as Turkey. In Carson's view, the U.S. could assist financially, but not open its doors.
Carson's comments echo Trump, who Thursday said, "If I win, they're going back," referring to Muslim Syrian refugees.

"Why would you do that??" The only answer is: To infiltrate the US with muslims and take over the country. It is a WAR, not a Humanitarian gesture. ?
Trump/Carson has my vote!
Someone speaking the truth and making sense. Refreshing in politics and life.
Thank you Dr Carson.
By that time they will have disappeared into the population to do what they were sent here to do...
