…wife and child need to eat and have shelter? Yeah, clearly we're the problem.

Plenty of Nazis said that, plenty of Nazis had their reasons. There's a word for them - Nazi. Would you get in line with fascists if it meant a sense of security? Would you hide targetted members of the public like Anne Frank? Or are you gonna rat out your neighbors (lets face it you don't even know em, not your problem) to avoid getting into trouble? These are questions the "wife and child need to eat" crowd need to start considering, because there's no "centrist position" when it comes to that.
