Basically, do you agree with the following statement?
A nation is defined by its borders, language and culture.
Borders, meaning we need to secure our boarders. Our official language should be English. Our culture is entrenched in the U.S. Constitution and the Bill of Rights.

I would say history language and culture. borders don't have much to do with nationalities. For instance. German culture and language is found across much of Europe, but is split between Austria, Switzerland, Germany and parts of the Czech Republic.

Borders have everything to do with nationalities. They protect the language and culture of nations. Look at the erasing of borders in the EU and all the mixing that's going on.

And lots of places have one culture or very similar cultures (think UK) living otgteher under one border. Borders help protect the identity of a nation |
