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?
Do you have a resource that backs up the statement, "Is he aware that Measles is not a problem in Central America? In fact as he should know, measles is much more likely to be imported from Asia and Europe."?

Why did he feel the need to bring up screening immigrants? Perhaps because he is a doctor and is familiar with report from the CDC? Read one for yourself - the FAQs page has lots of links to measles related info.
