According to Websters, the defacto standard of American English, slaves were indeed immigrants.
Carson's statement is 100% correct.
Why is it an issue now? Because Carson is a Black Republican and the Democrats are desperate to keep the race card. So they will jump over any chance to make Carson look like an Uncle Tom. There's no more to today's false outrage than that.

English is not my first language, even not the second.
My question is, can you say that a minor who was brought by his parents to USA against his will, is an immigrant?
He is a great Doctor and Surgeon,but he is an idiot.
original thinker runs afoul of the hysterical social justice minds set in concrete.
no wonder books and people were burned, prose and poetry still go misunderstoood.
case to legalize weed, give it to the hysterical protesting dems. clearly their security is being threatened when words and language fail to follow the expected scripted responses. Their world comes crashing in, which causes them to flail and scream.

Absolutely correct.
Another faux outrage.
You'd need to be purposely obtuse or simply stupid to believe that Carson is unaware of the plight of slaves and or that they were brought here against their will and if born here during slave times were kept against their will.
In any event, slaves were immigrants, despite the fact that they were forced to emigrate. It is a definition thing. I guess some just don't understand!
While little should shock me anymore, it still astounds that so many liberals want to play Humpty Dumpty with definitions.

Nice analogy.
Yes it does amaze me that we are in the 21st century with easy access to all the information in the world, as to what passes for logical argument.
You were the one who was wrong with your fallacious attempt at argument.
Carson was 100% correct to refer to slaves as immigrants as defined by Websters.
No where in Websters do they define a slave as an immigrant.
