[The Mail] Neurosurgeon-turned-presidential candidate Ben Carson thinks those big frontal lobes that humans possess can come in handy - especially when it comes to making good decisions about Syrian refugees.Today Carson told Chris Wallace on Fox News Sunday that thinking it's a good idea to let Syrians into the United States after the recent terror attacks in Paris requires 'a suspension of intellect,' the GOP candidate said.
'You know that the human brain has these big frontal lobes, as opposed to other animals, because we can engage in rational thought processing,' Carson said.
'Animals, on the other hand, have big brain stems and rudimentary things because they react,' Carson said. 'We don't have to just react we can think.' And putting on his own personal thinking cap, Carson suggested that the United States help the refugees who are fleeing from ISIS, but keep them closer to home.
'We should use our expertise and resources to help get them resettled -- over there -- and to support them over there,' he said.
Carson and his fellow Republicans were quick to say they'd close the door on the flow of Syrian immigrants expected to pass through U.S. borders upon learning that a Syrian passport was found at one of the Paris attack scenes. There's concern that ISIS is taking advantage of the current refugee crisis, and infiltrating those masses.
