Subject: Re: Get Out, We're Closed
The alternative to "let them all in" is NOT to "keep them all out". To claim that miss-characterizes the conservative position.

As the "let them all in" position mischaracterizes the liberal position. But there are elements of each side that does have those positions. I was illustrating (apparently poorly) that the two parties need to ignore their extremists, because both positions are non-starters. As always, we have to meet somewhere in the middle. Which is probably where the answer lies anyway (it usually does).
