Dr. Ben Carson, Secretary of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) under the Trump Administration described enslaved Africans who came to the U.S. in slave ships as “immigrants” who had a dream….. He made these comments during a speech to HUD employees. No disrespect to those who willingly came here as immigrants, but enslaved Africans came here in chains and were forced to work for free. There is no logical way that Dr. Carson could or should refer to them as “immigrants”. Check out the video clip and see it for yourself!. Video clip is from USA Today.
