#8 appears to be a concern of many. I just hope that this is not the tip of the iceberg of racism.

Bah. Of course there are a few who dislike immigration for racist reasons, but citing that seems to be little more than a convenient excuse for failing to address the very legitimate concerns many, many people have about illegal immigration in light of the terrorist attacks on our nation.

Tonight, on the Fox network, Geraldo Rivera, of all people, is doing an exposé on how terrorists are illegally entering our country, right now, via the lax border with Mexico.

There are also legitimate concerns about the balkanization of our culture, and the breakdown of assimilation, which are not racist.

The Republican Party would do well, in the long term, to take a fresh look at this issue. This is front-and-center for many people like me, who didn't really care all that much about it in the past.

Do you mean that you didn't really care about the Republican Party that much in the past?
