The Diffrerence Between Racism And National Security

In this intense debate over the "comprehensive immigration bill" scam, a very bad trend has occurred that needs to be addressed. It is that those who favor the Bush-Kennedy-McCain approach are rearing the ugly head that those who oppose the bill-scam as is are racists and some conservatives are not only falling for it but taking the bait.
What I mean is that the ones that are buying into it are pundits like Pat Buchanan who basically are arguing that "white America" will soon be a minority. There is a column today in National Review Online http://nationalreview.com that argues that same thing. Why is anyone who calls them selves a conservative taking the race approach? Is this what we really want to argue about over the immigration bill-scam? NO, not by a long shot. The issue is national security first, then after a period of time we can have sane immigration policies. Those of us that are trying to have this debate on that basis, which is almost anyone on the blogosphere, need to denounce those who want to argue race statistics.
When Geraldo Rivera says that "white America is afraid of a brown tide" I absolutely believe that is wrong. But if there is a wave of Islamic men entering our nation illegally, we are afraid and need to act accordingly.
Legitimate concerns beyond that is those that actually want to become citizens are slow, if ever, to assimilate into the American society. They want to be catered to and are encouraged by liberals to make it an issue of race and or language. Also, while we are offering a "path to citizenship," a lot of those who are here illegally from Mexico do not want to become citizens. Has anyone looked at the Bracero program, which is a guest worker program that was done in the 1950's?
I do not worry about the fact that people who are coming here are from primarily third-world countries, but that they do not want to become AMERICAN like our forebarers. They do not want to speak English, they do not want to blend in with whites, blacks, other Hispanic groups. They want to be separate. Also, nothing, not one aspect of this legislation addresses a critical issue, especially here in California involving health care.
Hospital emergency rooms are closing down at an alarming rate because many illegals use the public hospitals, have no means to pay and hospitals are providing services that they will never be paid for. After all, they do need to make some money. Also, because they are illegal, they may not get the proper immunizations and maybe carrying third world predominate diseases such as TB.
I do not think I write this in racist, but realistic terms. That is the experience in Southern California. Many of those who do not get it do not get out of the rarefied air of the Washington beltway.
I want, once the borders north and south are more secure than now, sane, legal immigration and to uphold the American dream for all who want to come here, be citizens or guest workers, and enjoy the fruits of liberty. But, if the national security issues that are legitimate are not looked at, then this bill-scam should die and go back to square one. But, we should never fall into the trap the left sets for us by making this an issue of race alone. It is not and the left knows it. But to buttress their case, they bring up Pat Buchanan and while he should be loosening his white hood, he is an embarrassment to those of us wanting sane, secure, legal immigration.
