For Ben Carson, refugees are like a “rabid dog”.

Donald Trump, who stated earlier in the week that he could be open to requiring Muslims in the US to register in a national database, affirmed on Thursday night that he “would certainly implement that — absolutely.”
When asked whether Muslims would be legally obligated to sign into the database, Trump told NBC News, “They have to be — they have to be.”
On Friday morning, Trump’s rival for the GOP candidacy, Jeb Bush, called the comments “just wrong.”
“You talk about internment, you talk about closing mosques, you talk about registering people. That’s just wrong. I don’t care about campaigns,” he said on CNBC. “It’s not a question of toughness. It’s to manipulate people’s angst and their fears. That’s not strength, that’s weakness.”
Meanwhile, another Republican presidential hopeful, Ben Carson, likened refugees seeking entrance to the United States to “a rabid dog running around your neighborhood.”
Rabbi Jack Moline, executive director of the nonprofit Interfaith Alliance, compared Trump’s ideology to that of prewar Nazi Germany.
“My father was in World War II, and he fought to preserve America against what the Nazis were doing,” Moline told NBC News. “”This is exactly why there is an America, to not be like that,” he continued.
According to The New York Times, when asked how such a database would be different from Jews having to register in Nazi Germany, Trump repeatedly said, “You tell me,” until he stopped responding to the question altogether.

“A rabid dog running around your neighbourhood”? May be, he is correct and in that sense, all immigrants in USA are what Carson (or Kunta Kinte) says and where some dogs came voluntarily in the country and some were brought by lash on their necks. Is it not so, Carson?
