Does being for border control mean I am a rascist?

Of course there are two principles at play here. One is the stigma of being called a racist. The other is the association with border control.

Most Americans identify with all that is naturally occurring across our borders as millions of illegal immigrants come to our land to work. Most also are very concerned that the US culture and legal system will change as numbers assert themselves. After all, numbers count in all ways. The debate about assimilation compared to reconsquest of unassimilated lands is a minority argument that skews the debate. The big discussion is numbers! What is now 12 million to 20 million illegal immigrants will probably grow to 50 million or so in the 50 year future, and this is a big number that will count. Is this what we want as a nation? And especially if these illegal immigrants both do not want to assimilate, and take over these SW USA lands as there own, the answer is obvious. We go back to war and kill people. This crude answer reflects what is happening now, and will continue to happen if the do gooders get their way. And most importantly, how about we present citizens and our kids and grandkids. This most important principle seems to be getting ignored as politicians business as normal continues even as we citizens change our votes.

The effort in Congress, mostly the Senate, to come up with a bipartisanship bill in admirable is that is it is so unique these days. A key point to keep in mind is that the idea of bipartisanship is different from the lowest common denominator. And most think the effort is in the best sort of American way. What most don’t hear is the resounding demand for southern border control. Without border control, all will fail. This is so obvious, then why don’t all the pollsters and polling groups reflect this? I’ll be nice, they are not perfect. I’ll be real, they do a poor job of reporting what many of us think. And even when they fail, our combined kids have their way, at least in my community. Boys and girls do get together against their parents advice, and whatever we end up with will be forever new.

If and when the federal government demonstrates real border control, then bipartisanship should kick in. And our Nation will proceed.
