OK, I guess I was a little confusing, as I've only reposted my request for you to clarify your definition of what you call immigration restrictionists twice on this page, so I'll do it a third time.
hchutch: In addition, if one seeks to LOWER the current quotas, is that not advocating restriction? Isn't "restrictionist" an appropriate adjective for those who advocate that position? Why do you object to that term if it is accurate? Sabertooth: Well, let's carry your logic a little further... aren't the current immigration levels retrictive? In a sense, aren't any immigration laws at all, "restrictionist?"
If we have no restrictions at all on immigration, don't we have open borders?
So, is everyone who's not for open borders an "immigration restrictionist," in your lexicon?
I'll take your quote at the top of this post as an answer to the last question, but I'm still unclear as to your actual definition. Maybe I missed it in the stream of "it's like the Wall Street Journal's," and "first answer this question for me," etc.
The question I'd like a clear answer to, hchutch, is what is your definiton of an "immigration restrictionist?"
