Ever heard of the National Council of La Raza? If so, you may know La Raza literally means “The Race.” No, it has nothing to do with the 100-yard dash. It refers to race, the subject we can’t stop talking about.
La Raza and its supporters try to downplay the racial element, claiming that the proper translation is “The People.” Which people? Hispanic people. In other words, the Hispanic “race.” The word games we play with each other…
George Bush’s nominee for Attorney General, Alberto Gonzales, the person who’d be in charge of enforcing federal law, is a card-carrying member of a group that wants to stop enforcement of United States immigration law.
La Raza touts itself as a “Hispanic think tank” concerned with poverty and discrimination. Among other things, they want to strip law enforcement of the ability to protect our country against terrorists so that “Latinos” here illegally won’t be deported. Arabs are crossing our borders along with Mexicans, but La Raza wants the borders to remain “open.”
Under the guise of “family reunification” this group advocates open immigration for Mexicans, which is not in the best interest of the United States. But as we know, Bush wants to legalize millions of illegal aliens, so having an Attorney General whose job is to enforce law rather than subvert it, isn’t unusual. And I voted for this man.
This kind of stuff makes me ill.
Back to race, race, race. Some say that La Raza is just another civil rights group like the NAACP, but an argument can be made that those organizations are also separatist. Here’s the hypocrisy: when whites do it, it’s called racist. When “minorities” do it, it’s called cultural awareness, improving opportunities or some such euphemism.
What’s the difference between La Raza and, let’s say…Council of Conservative Citizens (C of CC)? La Raza claims to “speak out” for Hispanics; the Council of Conservative Citizens, for white “European-Americans.” But one group is considered a hate group. Can you guess which one? Are only whites racists? Regarding race, C of CC says:
Most of the issues addressed by the C of CC and its local chapters have nothing to do with race. But, on some issues, such as forced busing, quotas and immigration, the Council does indeed speak out for white European-Americans, their civilization, faith and form of government, but we do not advocate or support the oppression or exploitation of other races or ethnic groups.The fact is that race influences politics, society, and culture. The great explorations, scientific discoveries, inventions, literature, art, and architecture encompassed by Western Civilization have no rival anywhere in the world. The C of CC recognizes that European Christian heritage is essential for the survival of our standard of living and way of life. There is no superior replacement for the civilization that has evolved through the Greeks, Romans, Celts, and Anglo-Saxons.
They’ve got a point, don’t you think? There isn’t a superior replacement for the civilization that evolved through the Greeks, Romans, Celts and Anglo-Saxons. If you don’t believe me, visit any country in Africa or the Middle East or anywhere else. I’m not going because I’m already convinced. Anti-American Americans need the perspective.
You won’t find such plain language on La Raza’s site, but you’ll find this under Health and Family Support:
While Latinos are affected by a wide range of risk factors and diseases, nearly every health disparity they experience could be prevented or more effectively managed given timely access to health care. Unfortunately, a number of barriers — including a widespread lack of health insurance and an inadequate supply of language services — currently operate at multiple levels within the health care system to prevent Latinos from gaining access to quality care.NCLR seeks to eliminate the incidence, burden, and impact of health and environmental problems in Latinos, and seeks tangible improvements in Latinos’ access to health coverage, and high-quality, culturally-competent health care. NCLR uses a two-tiered system to address the health concerns of the Latino community.
In plain language, La Raza advocates more free health care for people already getting free health care, without regard for the people being taxed to death to pay for it. Great.
If you’re going to call groups like C of CC racist, you must say the same for other racialist organizations. Besides, which group is being up front about what they believe? I’ll take honesty over politically correct euphemistic tripe (especially the kind that costs me money) any day.

Now it worked… Crazy posting around here…lol
Hey Joshua – I turned on comment moderation.
It certainly is a low blow
I think it was a low blow as well. I also think it was effective.
I’ve spoken with parents in the D.C, N. Virginia area about LaRaza. I’ve spoken with a “Hispanic” person about La Raza as well. He said the literal translation to “The Race” is one that’s inaccurate.
Of the parents in the D.C. ‘burbs I talked about it with, they were of mixed opinions. All parents were white. One spent time in S. America and said that literal translation was inaccurate.
But then I’ve read “attacks” against La Raza that pointed out the “extremists” in the group.
Illegal immigration is a serious problem.
The national level under reporting of warfare along the southern border is a shame. I don’t believe the under reporting is an issue of p.c.
The under reporting of illegal trafficers maybe helping suspected terrorists is one that I think the U.S. government WANTS to keep quiet.
The fact that border agent whistle blowers on the northern border were fired, says, to me, a lot.
LaShawn, great post!! I have a question/comment to Every Christian American. When are we going to Actually put our Faith in the Lord!? As we see here in the post about GWB’s “Top Cop” a “possible” member of the most like Anti-American, LaRaza. Anti-Americans have far too much influence in our country. Christians when are we going to vote our faith – vote for candidates that Actually believe in upholding the Constitution and put Biblical principles first? GWB continutes to do neither. He continues to be Anti-American in his stance on immigration and he doesn’t strongly uphold biblical principles (his position on same-sex “unions”). Christian Americans should vote by faith Not fear. Many of us voted for GWB because he “appeared” to be a stronger Christian than his opponent. Well, considering who his opponent was – that wasn’t hard to do. I believe GWB will continue to disappoint Conservatives and especially us Americans that will be heavily affected by his desire to give amnesty to illegal immigrants.
oh, sorry.
Thank you, Liz.
Kiki,
Thank you for your “enlightenment”. Your comment about illegal immigrants being able to deliver babies “on the dole” is my point, and what I said several times. The ONLY type of government assistance they get is to deliver the baby, not for prenatal care. They qualify for LIMITED Medicaid coverage for EMERGENCY services only – which includes the DELIVERY OF THE BABY! NO PRENATAL CARE!
I’m sorry you weren’t able to qualify for Medicaid. When I worked for Medicaid on the Federal side, I received several letters from people who had worked for years and due to illness or other circumstances were left without health insurance (my mother one of them) and were not able to meet the eligibility criteria for the Medicaid problem. That is a problem with the Medicaid eligibility system – not an immigrant problem – that DEFINITELY needs fixing!
Thank you Michael for pointing out the difference between the eligiblity standards for legal and illigal immigrants under Medicaid.
What is wrong with a “volunteer”, say like the housekeeping staff, is that they are not bound to the same level of confidentiality or have the same level of training to adequately translate complex medical information. A bilingual nurse or other MEDICAL staff member would not be a problem.
And NO, not every immigrant who is here who doesn’t have full grasp of the ENGLISH langauge and may need the assistance of an interpreter is here ILLEGALLY!!
As far as missionaries and volunteers in other countries. I’m sure that another part of the reason why they immerse themselves in the language and the culture is because they are there to be OF SERVICE, and they realize how little use they would be without an understanding and appreciation of the culture that they are a part of. But as much as they immerse themselves in the culture, they are never asked or expected to BECOME Brazilian, African, Laotian, whatever. AND, the likelihood of them being able to find an American speaking physician is rather high, and if they landed in the hospital, they would probably be accompanied by someone who speaks the language.
That has been the experience of the people that I know who have been volunteers or worked in foreign countries and have needed medical care.
Hey nappi,
How many translators should a hospital expect to have? How many languages should they be expected to cover?
Here in Philly, I imagine they would have to deal with russian, spanish, portuguese, vietnamese, chinese (2+ dialects), polish, french, farsi, kiswahili and on occasion, arabic.
What are the expectations for cuturaly competent medical care?
Personally, I think if the hospital makes an attempt to communicate, great. But that doesn’t remove the personal responsibility for people to be understood.
God, this country needs an official language. What other country puts up with this BS?
I could even deal with having 2, and requiring all govt. and public accomadations to provide service in both…
but at least make something official!

I’m not making this stuff up or pulling it entirely out of my behind.
The difference between white racism and any other racism is that white people are in power and the majority. If a Latino or black politician uses a racial epithet for whites, I have no fear that my rights will be trampled like segregation or discriminatory laws. If I was Latino and white politicians were harping about kicking out all the Mexicans, I would feel very threatened because “my people” wouldn’t have the political power to stop it. There’s a difference.
So I guess who didn’t hear about the riots in Cincinnati in 2001 where blacks wielded their collective power by looting and burning white businesses and attacking white people or the Rodney King fiasco where blacks attacked whites and Koreans because they were white and Korean or thug gang members gunning for white cops because they’re white cops . Political power isn’t the only kind of power, you know.
I’ll bet you’d feel threatened by that kind of “power” alright.
Wrongs are not experienced on a “group” basis, Sam. If you get beaten up, it makes little difference at the time whether you are black, white, or green with blue racing stripes. You are still in a world of hurt. Your racial/ethnic group didn’t get pounded into the tarmac: YOU DID.
Redress is a separate issue from injury.
And frankly, it has economic as well as racial overtones. Intelligence is also a factor – just as if you’re an idiot, or ugly, or have poor people skills, you’re going to have a harder time getting justice.
These are all accidents of birth that…well gee whiz… it would just be loverly if we could eliminate, but we can’t, not completely.
No social system will ever be able to do that. And the Left’s best answer to THAT nasty little problem? Let’s take away any natural comparative advantage the smarter, faster, harder-working, or better-looking have in life. So now, everyone suffers.
Impressive tactic. Pre-emptive injustice: Commit one injustice to prevent the possibility that another might occur. The level playing field in action.
There are actual discrimination laws in effect in this country. Try being Asian and having good grades: you’re in the minority, but is there affirmative action for you?
No way: you’re discriminated AGAINST. If admissions were awarded on merit, they’d be admitted to prestigious colleges at far higher rates: they’ve earned it.
America’s dirty little secret. You don’t need help – you’re naturally hard-working and smart. So we’ll penalize you for trying harder than everyone else.
And no, I’m not Asian. But I know something wrong when I see it.
Equal opportunity? Forget it.
Excuse me, Nappi, but those illegals DO get prenatal care. They did not just happen to show up at the hospital just to deliver the baby. They had prenatal care all the way through their pregnancy. Now, as I mentioned about Houston, some of them didn’t, but that is because they came here illegally at the last minute just to be able to deliver their babies in America. Aside from committing a crime by entering this country illegally, it’s a blatant abuse of our system, and they should be deported immediately!
“As far as missionaries and volunteers in other countries.

Your point being? What is being bandied about right now about illegal aliens coming into this country to WORK?? Aren’t we being told that they come here to provide a SERVICE to us, and that this country would go belly up without them? If that’s so, why aren’t you holding them to the SAME STANDARDS that you would hold an American heading to another country to provide a service to? In my opinion, an illegal immigrant who is working here is of very little service to me and provides me very little service if they don’t know my language and immerse themselves in my culture. You try to make a point by being very codependent with these people and excusing them from taking responsibility for their lives, and doing what they need to do to live in this country and be like other Americans. However, you just end up speaking against yourself, and showing your blatant disregard for the sovereignty of our country and a blatant anti-American bias. When in America, do as Americans do.
LaShawn,
Or the case that I saw in Houston when I was in nursing school when 3 black men robbed a Vietnamese businessman, and shot him in the back of the head, execution style. All this because he had immigrated here, was working hard and making something of himself. Oh yes, I was in clinicals in the ER when they brought this poor man in. It was a pretty horrific sight.
What’s wrong with the trackback’s time stamp? It’s only 4:46 right now.
First, I want to say hello to LB, first time “blogger”, long time reader.
Have read plenty of points posted on this board. Many people have many good points. Only trouble is that people are basing their viewpoint on different priorities. For groups like “La Raza” their viewpoint is based on the advancing the well being of the selected group in place of working within the establish laws of the country. The group “La Raza” feels that the well being of the people (I am assuming all Hispanic people, not just Mexico and Central Americans, because I don’t see “La Raza” coming to aid for many Cuban immigrants) supersede any United States laws. So, any argument that counter “La Raza” viewpoint will not be accepted. Now, on the other hand people who oppose illegal immigrants feel that a country laws dictate behaviors of groups. They believe that the welfare is important, but the pursuit of it should not override operating within the law. Therefore, any argument against will not be understood or accepted. The real question is how all groups should operate in a given country. I have visited many countries in the world, and their number one complaint is not on our country’s policies, but on how we conduct business in their country. The major of people I spoke visiting varies different countries complain that American tourist come to their country and expect to be treated as if the tourists are still in America. The members of those countries complain how little respect American tourist has for their culture, language, and way of life. Now, if these members of different countries expect American tourist act “if in Rome, be like Romans” for a short period of time in their country then I feel it is safe to say that any immigrants that have plans to move into the United States should learn the “rules of the road” on how life in America operate. English should be learned, rules of the country should be followed, an honest effort to learn the culture of the United States should be attempted. There is nothing wrong with learning one’s own culture, but not at the expense of the culture of the country one choose to live. I feel that illegal immigration is wrong, period. I feel that it is two-faced that if I choose to live in Mexico I have to learn their ways and language, but that demand does not have to be met if a Mexican chooses to live in the United States.
LaShawn,
Great piece about Alberto, I hope the Senators grill him about which country he pledges allegiance to, and if he will enforce all the laws equally.
As far as we are concerned, the most accurate translation of “La Raza” is The Racists. After all, they support all manner of amnesties and other special treatment for Hispanics/Mexicans, even though it reduces Asian immigration. For more details on this see our web site at http://www.fairimmigration.com.
I assume it is racism when certian nationalities/ethnicities want special treatment at the expense of other nationalities/ethnicites. If this is not the correct word then what is?
At the very least it is advocating discrimination based upon national origin. When President Kennedy asked Congress to elimite the National Origins immigration system in 1963, he felt it was because the existing system where most immigrants came from just a few countries was discrimination.
Yet now we have a system where 30% of legal US immigrants are from one country, Mexico! This is due to the amnesties given to (mainly Mexican) illegal aliens, and other excetions which only benefit Mexicans. That is not enough for “The Racists”, they want additional amensties and excpections in order to increase Mexico’s share to 50%!
Apparently The Racists are not content with being the second largest national group in the US (behind Germans), nor that even without immigration in 30 years they will be the largest group due to their higher birthrate.
I have to conclude that The Racists want to reclaim Aztlan, since “the US stole it from Mexico”. Except this is BS, the US didn’t steal it, the US paid Mexico $38 million for it. With inflation, that equals $1.5 trillion today. When will this be paid back? The Racists and Mexico are right now behind on the payback, since the US has already allowed so many millions of Mexicans to become legal residents.
Wow, Nappi’s comments are certainly original. You need to work on massaging those definitions quite a bit to get at them.
I think the bulk of her points has been addressed well by Cassandra, Kiki, and LaShawn. I’ll take issue with the smaller-but-weirder ones.
First, Nappi would be well-advised to get over her dislike of the word “alien.” It is not pejorative. As anyone who has seen an American “green card” knows, it’s stamped rather prominently with the words RESIDENT ALIEN on the front. Not too many people take offense. The illegal part of illegal alien is pejorative. And it should be. I wouldn’t tolerate strangers climbing into my back yard. I don’t see why I should look more kindly on those running into my country.
Also, I’m not sure what all this nonsense is about the prohibition of discrimination based on “national origin” being twisted into someone’s “right” to medical care even if they don’t speak the language of the caregivers. Language and national origin are not the same thing,as you can see from the fact that people posting on this blog are not Englishmen. In no country — this one or any other — does anyone showing up in a hospital have the “right” to care in any language other than the official or prevalent one for the area. If you don’t speak the language, providing translator services is your responsibility, not the hospital’s. Consulates and other support organizations will happily do this for tourists and legal immigrants. It’s certainly not some kind of moral responsibility for everyone else — here or anywhere else.
Many illegal immigrants are hard workers who learn English and want to fit in. For the rest, if they come into an American hospital and feel entitled to service in Spanish, I suggest they get it — in the form of a bus ticket to Tijuana. I’m pretty sure that the care they will receive there will be “culturally competent.”
Tim: “Great piece about Alberto, I hope the Senators grill him about which country he pledges allegiance to, and if he will enforce all the laws equally.”
And what would you expect him to say Tim, no?
He will empathize with people of his origin, not by what he does necessarily but by what he doesn’t do. It is human and we would do the same.
The fact is Bush favors business and business favors low labor rates. This appointment satisfies both diversity and business. Look for lower enforcement of border and citizenship laws with its associated wage and tax impact on the least of our citizens.
In all fairness to Gonzalez, there is alot of pressure on latino businessmen and politicians to join organizations like La Raza, which are actually fairly wholesome in comparisons like organizations like MeChA. And, while the National Coalition of La Raza (NCLR) has their own agenda, there are also state associations of La Raza that are much more interested in meeting the social needs of Latino immigrants in the U.S. without any immigration agenda.
Nappi repeats alot of the myths of the reconquista. First, that illegals have some right to be here, and that we have some obligation to take care of them (we don’t, they are unwelcome, illegal intruders). Second, that the U.S. depends upon this cheap, illegal labor. WE don’t. There was a time when AMERICANS did the jobs now done by illegals. However, the glut of 8-10 million illegals now in this country has artificially deflated wages in the U.S. and now wages for these menial jobs aren’t sufficient to entice many Americans to do the work. Were the illegals exported back to their home lands, supply and demand would adjust the pay scale accordingly. Yeah, we might pay a little more for some items, but we’d save billions on housing, feeding, medically caring for, educating, and incarcerating illegals as we presently do.
Lastly, use of the term “undocumented” in place of the literal truth, illegal, is liberal spin. Undocumented sounds like these people misplaced their identity documents, not that they are guilty of felony offenses by virtue of their presence here (they are).
Great postings, and La Shawn, you da catz meow, girl.
…First, that illegals have some right to be here, and that we have some obligation to take care of them…
If I had to choose only one illegal alien issue to focus on, it would be that one. Thanks for reading!
“Nappi repeats alot of the myths of the reconquista. First, that illegals have some right to be here, and that we have some obligation to take care of them (we don’t, they are unwelcome, illegal intruders)”
I agree illegals have no right to be here. However, on the second part, the Supreme Court has decided it the US government makes no effort to remove illegals, then we are obligated to educate their minor children. I am sure that next using the same reasoning they will decide if illegals are allowed to live in the US for more than 10 years continuously, they are entitled to a green card (sort of like common law marriage).
So it is definitely high time we either demand the government enforce these laws, or start enforcing them ourselves, which the Constituion allows.
While I am terribly late to this conversation, let me try to bring the concept even closer to home than a couple of others have.
Everyone knows that (by and large) children don’t like doing chores. However, the majority do them in order to justify getting an allowance. This is a natural part of teaching your children about earning your way.
Now, however, what if, say, a homeless person walked in the back door one morning and said “I’ll do your kids’ chores for one-fourth of what you’re paying them.” Let’s say further that for some reason you agreed to this – it’s going to save you money, right?
Well, when the stranger gets done with the chores, then he goes into the guest room and moves in. Wait, did you say he could do that? But he points out that “You need me to do the chores that your kids don’t want to do,” so you let him stay.
After he’s been there for a while, eating your food, staying in your house (while your kids complain that they don’t get an allowance anymore, and you counter by asking if they would do their chores for what this guy is being paid, which they won’t), then he gets sick, and tells you that he needs to go to the doctor. If you reply that you never signed on to take care of his health, he replies that you’ve been letting him live in your home, and so you’re responsible for his health, too, so you take him to the doctor, pay for that, plus his medicine, plus take care of him, while he’s not doing any chores, or maybe you pay your children to take care of him.
Later, after he’s better, you find out that he has a wife, who’s been waiting for him to get a good spot, and he brings her and HIS children into your home, and expects you to pay for THEIR upkeep as well.
Finally, your children can’t keep quiet any more, they tell you that this is ridiculous, that they live here and you shouldn’t be making a special place for these people, whose only contribution was to do THEIR chores for less money, and now your spending more money than you would ever have before, because of all the extra things that you have to pay for that you didn’t expect. In response to this, you tell your children that they are mean hateful, inconsiderate creatures that don’t deserve your respect anymore. Any arguments they make you respond with what a shocking lack of compassion they have.
This is the Liberal point of view.
Wayne,
You forgot the advocacy groups picketing on the lawn, both for the hobo and the children. And both groups funneling money from their membership dues to your mother-in-law, who is constantly trying to tell you how to run your household.
Good analogy Wayne. Tell us what happens when you call the authorities to have the ‘guests’ removed.
This would be comical if it weren’t funny.
I happen to be an ‘alien’, an American living in Japan. In fact I am required to carry an official alien registration card everywhere with me, all the time. That is just the way it is, most everywhere in the world if you want to live in a foreign country. Latinos who want to live in the US but don’t want to abide by the basic laws, laws that have equivalents in their home countries, should in my opinion be thrown out on their butts. Illegal immigrants have my sympathy, but the whining by La Raza and other such groups grates on my ears. They want things for free that they could never get in their ancesteral countries. Does Mexico offer free health care to gringos who violate Mexican immigration law and try to live in the country without papers? Have you ever looked into what Mexico and other Latin nations require of Americans who want to immigrate into their countries? Talk about unfair!
SCSIwuzzy – but it was time to go home from work! Heh.
Jim R – But of course the law enforcement wouldn’t cross the picket line, now, would they?
LaShawn Barber, you rule, thanks for writing this blog!!!
From Mr. Binh above:
I agree illegals have no right to be here. However, on the second part, the Supreme Court has decided it the US government makes no effort to remove illegals, then we are obligated to educate their minor children. I am sure that next using the same reasoning they will decide if illegals are allowed to live in the US for more than 10 years continuously, they are entitled to a green card (sort of like common law marriage).
————————————————–
filled with liberal assumptions….My only question, Mr. Binh, is WHY?
Why are we obligated to feed, house, educate, and otherwise care for the dependents of criminals who shouldn’t even be here? I would argue that we aren’t.
Unless you can present some compelling reason that we are (and I agree these children are victims OF THEIR PARENTS’ ACTIONS, so we should send the entire family home to their country of origin), I’m going to ignore your liberal assumptions.
WE aren’t obligated to do ANYTHING other than removal.
Catz
So it is definitely high time we either demand the government enforce these laws, or start enforcing them ourselves, which the Constituion allows.
Should clarify that the last line is a comment from Mr. Binh with which I am in some agreement of the former, if not the latter (vigilante) sentiment.
Catz,
All I know is MALDEF sued to make local school districts educate the children of illegals, and the Supreme Court agreed with their argument. Why I don’t know.
Once Alberto is confirmed, I would not be surprised if MALDEF sues again for illegals here more than 10 years, and that Alberto will support this lawsuit. What you or the majority of Americans want won’t make any difference.
Getting the government to enforce the laws will not be easy. Congress and the President know 80% of Americans want the laws enforced, they know what the polls say and what citiaens with phone calls and letters want. But the business intrests that fund their campaigns don’t want them enforced, so they take priority. If millions of Americans protested in Washington DC, and in other big cities, this might change. In the past, black Americans did this to gain equal rights. So why aren’t Americans doing this now?
As for enforcing the immigration laws ourselves, this is based upon the principle that in the US all power belongs to the people, and that the people give up some of that power to their elected officials and government to enact the will of the people for the common good.
If the government does not use the power given to them to enforce the will of the people, then the people can reclaim this power and enforce the laws themselves, with a well organized militia as provided by the Second Amendment. This is not a vigilante action, which is done without any legal authority. If the proper steps are taken, including notifying the government, having rules of engagement, and only using Citizen non-felons, a well organized militia can legally protect the US from invasion under the Constitution.
Since they are so racist, let them return to Mexico so they can remember why their home country bites so much. Because it’s filled with Mexicans! People who have so little honor and self respect they have been reduced to maintaining their economy and dealing with their unwanted by encouraging them to sneak into another country. Their whole country is rotten! La Raza and MALDEF, as well as the Mexican Mafia and La Familia are the symptoms!
This link to an article details what we and our new Governor are up against regarding the illegal immigration invasion of California:
ContraCostatTmes.com/mld/cctimes/news/special_packages/
governor_schwarzenegger/10345045.htm?1c
The combination of a very liberal State Legislature and a high population of hispanics almost put legal drivers licenses into the hands of illegal aliens.
They’re still trying over the objections of our new Republican Governor Schwarzenegger.
THESE PEOPLE IN CONGRESS NEED OUR HELP TODAY!
Negotiations on the 9/11 Bill resume Mon 12/5/04. The battle is over the removal of the House 9/11 bill HR10 border security provisions, called Title III, from the final 9/11 House/Senate bill.
House Republicans led by Sensenbrenner, Hunter, Hyde and Dreier banded together to stop the bill from going to a floor vote until these House Immigration/Border Security provisions are left in the final 9/11 bill. House Speaker Dennis Hastert (R-IL) supported them by refusing to bring the Bill to the floor for a vote until these House provisions were left in.
Sensenbrenner and company are facing immense pressure from the White House(would you believe!) and the Democrats who are calling them obstructionist!
Please call the people below to thank them for standing firm, and your House(house.gov)and Senators(senate.gov) to tell them you want Title III Border Security provisions left in the 9/11 combined House/Senate Bill.
