I cannot find Carson's words and perhaps you can post a link. The only thing I find is that he said this is not a political issue. If it is not then why did he feel the need to mention immigration, a highly political flashpoint, in his discussion of vaccines?

The total direct quote...
"“It is a good example of what happens,” the pediatric neurosurgeon replied. “These are things that we had under control. We have to account for the fact that we now have people coming into the country, sometimes undocumented people, who perhaps have diseases that we had under control.”
“So now we need to be doubly vigilant about making sure that we immunize our people to keep them from getting diseases that once were under control,” Carson added."
