Carson On Cuba: ‘I Don’t Know A Great Deal About That’

Asked about U.S.-Cuba policy, Ben Carson drew a blank.
“You’re going to have to explain to me exactly what you mean by that,” he said when quizzed by the Herald on the so-called wet-foot, dry-foot policy.“I have to admit I don’t know a great deal about that, and I don’t really like to comment until I’ve had a chance to study the issue from both sides,” Carson said of the rule letting Cubans who reach U.S. soil stay here.

He then stumbled over the Cuban Adjustment Act, which permits Cubans to apply for legal residency after 366 days in the U.S.
“Again, I’ve not been briefed fully on what that is,” the retired neurosurgeon said.
“It sounds perfectly reasonable,” he added upon learning the act’s details.
