Ben Carson: 'I hope that we have a database on everybody'
https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/post-politics/wp/2015/11/20/ben-carson-i-hope-that-we-have-a-database-on-everybody/
I think we should have a database on everybody who comes
into this country," Carson told reporters in the state house.
Told that rival Donald Trump had proposed tracking Muslims
already in the United States, Carson added that "hopefully, we
already have a database on every citizen who is already here. If
we don't, we are doing a very poor job." The grilling was
inspired by a set of remarks Trump made on Thursday, first to
Yahoo News's Hunter Walker, then to NBC News's Vaughn Hillyard,
which were reported as the Republican frontrunner's endorsement
of "a database system tracking Muslims in the United States."
Trump's haphazard responses to the idea, and Carson's insistence
that the right kind of databases already existed, were the
latest examples of how the rise of two outsiders untrained in
politico-speak were roiling the Republican debate.

Don't worry, we already have you in the "dangerous idiots" database, Ben.
