Maybe living outside CA and not going through the naturalization hoops distorts my judgment. I dunno, but this debate seems to be at a stalemate. It was a handy cop-out

Bzzzzt!
It's not a cop-out and it's not a contradiction. The thing is that gunnut (and me, and others like us) DO believe that immigration is critical and a good thing. But implicit in that belief is the concept of
legal immigration.
By failing or refusing to acknowledge that key point you are only portraying yourself as, sad to say, ignorant.
It's like when a buddy comes up and says "Hey, I got some last night." Your initial reaction is "All right, way to go!". But if he then says "Yeah, she was drunk and unconscious." then your reaction would no-doubt be disapproving.
No need for you to invent a dichotomy where none exists.
Come in, come in, by all means, just sign the bloody register first.
