No. Government has no monopoly on tyranny. So defining it as pertaining to government isn't much good at all. I fear more from the unelected powers who walk in and say "here's how it's going to be" more than our elected government. Perhaps I would feel differently if I lived in a different country.

If you're referring to bureaucracies like the EPA, IRS etc...who routinely legislate through arbitrary policy, I'm with you.

But it's a meme so that makes it a true quote ;-)

Hi, you must be new here. Nevermind the Trumpers; they have rejected reality and substituted their own.

Yes, just as it's the case that if you lock someone up in your basement it's called kidnapping, but if a police officer locks someone up in a jail it's called an arrest. Authority matters.

I can't say I'm all that upset that the citizens don't have the legal ability to kill people in cold blood.

Not a trump or hillary supporter and I don't think illegal immigrants should vote have jobs or drive on the roads taxpayers pay for everyday at work.

I'm the choir here as an AZ resident. I see first hand they strain put on the local and government facilities, hospitals, police etc... I would like to see a wall and enforcement along that wall, not only for the sake of curbing the flow of illegals, but the drugs many carry with them.
5 ups, 8y,

I'm not sure the wall would do as much as proper enforcement and adequate funding to do so. Also I agree once I seen people talking about giving illegals free college while my wife myself and most other Americans of our generation are starting life deeply in debt for our education we notice an ongoing theme where illegals are givin a better start than Americans. If you don't have student loan debt your not an American lol

A wall would have a concentrating and slowing effect. Hell if we can manage to keep EVERYONE out of area 51 for 70 years, I think we can manage that feat at the border too. I'm not unsympathetic to families, but I have worked with people here, who work in the US and go home to Mexico and their families on the weekends. There are plenty of citizens who travel for work that do similar. Life is about choices and it is not for our government to remove choices that are hard. Not for citizens and certainly not for non-citizens. Just like with an education, do you go in debt for a big university degree or maybe go a more fiscally manageable route with community college or trade school? Again its about choices, and then follow through when the choices we make when carry a price that we have to pay back. Trust me I'm not faulting your choices, what I'm saying is the 2 of you made yours, and are accepting the responsibility you accepted at the onset. Admirable.

Just sayin illegals shouldn't get free stuff from our country that citizens pay for
2 ups, 8y
Agreed, my long winded response was more or less that, they made a choice to be here under known conditions, now they want those conditions changed.
