The citizens of the secular state happen to be part of Klal Yisrael. His concern is that they might end up marrying non-Jews if the incoming citizens don’t convert. That affects Klal Yisrael. Now his solution also affects Klal Yisrael. So you can disagree with him and say that his solution is against halacha and will affect Klal Yisrael more negatively than the problem he is trying to resolve will affect Klal Yisrael, but how much you care about preventing secular Jews from intermarrying and how much you care about upholding hilchos geirus is not determined by whether you are a Zionist or not. Is it possible that there are more people who don’t care about halacha who are Zionists than non-Zionists? Yes. It is very possible. But that’s because you can still be a Zionist even if you don’t care about halacha.
