The difference is that this time I'm specifically arguing that this compromise might (though probably not) be reachable via negotiations with Stephen Miller and the Trump White House, based on the offer they've made.

I grasp why that's seen as a more outrageous idea, since it distills a vague general idea to a specific deal with a figure seen as the devil. But such deals (Nixon to China, etc.) *are* in fact a common feature of successful political compromise.

And when your enemy has just made an offer that has infuriated (for real) a number of his own allies, that's a good time to think creatively about counter-offers, doomed as they may be. The belief that moral purity precludes them is part of the doom spiral of polarization.
