Quote by: Milton Bradley  Hmmm, is it "despotic", or within the "legal duty" of the elected officials?
As a matter of fact, isn't it a deriliction of duty not to round these people up under the current law? Why yes, I believe it is. | So you are all for the violent state oppression as long as the state is enforcing the law as YOU see fit, but against violent enforcement if they are collecting taxes you don't want to pay? Is that how your version of the Libertarian ideal works? I could be misreading your point here. This is about libertarian ideals. If you aren't a libertarian and just think the government should round up all illegal immigrants, then the question/point wasn't aimed at you. If you are a libertarian and hold all those "the state should not be in the violent enforcement business" ideals, then the point is very relavent. That would be tyranny, under the logical extention of points libertarians claim to hold dear.

Tell me, could that be you?
