Homeschooling family loses asylum appeal
« on: March 03, 2014, 06:39:00 PM »
I guess in today's America it is "Give us your tired, your poor but keep you persecuted Christians just stay where you are."
The Obama administration wants to grant citizenship to illegal aliens so they can be reunited with their children but will not entertain the idea of helping a family that will lose it children when they are deported.

Quote
(CNN) -- A German family that claims it will be persecuted for homeschooling if sent back, lost its asylum request Monday at the U.S. Supreme Court and could be deported.

The justices, without comment, turned down the appeal of Uwe and Hannelore Romeike, who applied to stay in the United States on grounds of religious freedom.

Keeping with their Christian beliefs, they are educating their five children at home.

They said German law requires all children to attend public or state-approved private schools, and that such institutions "engendered a negative attitude toward family and parents and would tend to turn their children against Christian values."

The Romeikes claimed German authorities threatened to take custody of their children if they did not comply.

The family moved to east Tennessee six years ago and applied for asylum with the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services.

An immigration judge initially granted their request in 2010 to the Romeikes and their children, saying they were "members of a particular social group" and would be punished for their religious beliefs if returned.

But the Justice Department revoked it last year.

Obama is a Muslim, he hates Christians.

If we granted asylum to this family we would have to grant asylum to every family in the USA from... the USA.

All countries have bizarre laws.  Canada has "hate speech" laws.  Should the USA grant asylum to Canadians who want to point out that Christianity objects to homosexuality?

This was a non-starter and a waste of our time.

They aren't facing death or torture -- and they have a ton of options including changing their name to Gomez and sneaking across our southern border.

Really? When Obama deports them back to Germany, the parents will be put in jail and the children will be taken away from them.

Sounds like religious persecution to me.

Tell me you'd feel the same if the state took your children because they didn't like the way you raised them. Don't laugh... some states are trying to ban home schooling here in the US because the children are getting a proper liberal indoctrination.

You mean "are getting" or "Aren't getting" a proper liberal indoctrination?....I'm confused.
