Through Buchanan's interpretations of “In the Death of the West,” race is seen as something that separates people and dismantles the unity of the United States; The thought that people of different races don't have much in common and will always have something to fight for. “Uncontrolled immigration threatens to deconstruct the nation we grew up in and convert America into a conglomerate of peoples with almost nothing in common: history, heroes, language, culture, faith, or ancestry. “ Buchanan is not talking about the inferiority of other races, or their inability to assimilate or understand the “Anglo-Saxon way,” but rather race itself creates an enormous barrier for those already inhibiting America and for those entering it .
