Buchanan doesn't want to just enforce the immigration laws, he is suggesting unrealistic things, such as the fact that the Mexican border can somehow be made leak-proof. The way to get that lot to stay on their side of the border, by the way, is not to position the US Army on an extended mission there, but to trade with the Mexicans so that they feel they don't have to go to the USA. Pat has a problem with this idea, because he believes all free trade is bad. He doesn't even like Canadian wheat (see "Family Farm Bill of Rights" speech).
At any rate, much of the legal immigrants to find the "culturally American" would have to be sorted - it's not just illegals Pat doesn't like, the article does say legal migrants. So how do you sort between the culturally American and the not merely on the basis of a passport? Note Comrade Pat said, "Culturally American" not "American citizens".

Do you realize that Americans have walked on the moon, defeated Hitler before you Brits were forced to learn German, crushed the former Soviet Union, developed the Atom bomb, thereby saving millions of lives, scattered the feared Taliban and reduced bin Laden from a global terrorist to a cave dwelling, goat humping dirt bag.
No my dear Ivan, protecting our borders is not 'unrealistic' for Americans...
