Carson: Syrian refugee crisis a ‘false choice’

Published December 9, 2015 4:46am ET



GOP presidential candidate Ben Carson said Tuesday that allowing or not allowing Syrian refugees into the U.S. is a false choice.

“It’s a false narrative that we only have two narratives: to bring in thousands of Syrian refugees or to turn our backs in cold-hearted indifference. We have another option and that is to support the safe havens that they have over there, you know, Jordan has plenty of space for them and all they need is more financial support,” the former neurosurgeon told Fox News’ Sean Hannity.
