“Borders, language, culture”

“Borders, language, (and) culture” is the catchphrase of conservative radio talk show host Michael Savage. Savage believes that a nation is defined by these three things. “Borders, language and culture” has been cited in print since at least 1998.
 
The catchphrase appeared in the title of Michael Savage’s bestselling book, The Savage Nation: Saving America from the Liberal Assault on our Borders, Language, and Culture (2002).

One of Mazzoni’s challengers is Russ Weiner. This buttoned-down 28-year-old travel consultant/events producer is a Sausalito resident and a staunch Republican. He is co-founder of the 4,000-member Paul Revere Society—a conservative educational and fraternal organization “to preserve the borders, language, and culture of America,” which he created two years ago with his father, conservative KSFO talk- show host Michael Savage. Weiner is against bilingual education and supports the idea of “one nation, one language.” He opposes reducing the simple minority vote needed to approve school bonds. Weiner is also against recent legislative efforts to ban assault weapons.

Is a nation defined by its borders, language, and culture?
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.
