Biden to deport German homeschool family while allowing millions of migrants to enter illegally through Southern border

The Romeike family fled Germany in 2008 after authorities cracked down on the practice of home-schooling, and applied for asylum in the US. Initially, a judge granted their asylum request, but when the Obama administration appealed the decision, that started a long legal odyssey that may have come to an end late last week:

The family moved to the U.S. from Germany in 2008. Their application for asylum said they were fined by the German government roughly $9,000 after homeschooling their children, court documents show.

An immigration judge initially granted the family’s application for asylum. The U.S. Department of Justice appealed the decision, and the U.S. Board of Immigration Appeals revoked the family’s asylum status, documents show.

The family, with the help of the U.S. Home School Defense Association, appealed to the 6th Circuit Court of Appeals. A three-judge panel unanimously ruled against the family.

“They have not shown that Germany’s enforcement of its general school-attendance law amounts to persecution against them,” Judge Jeffrey Sutton wrote for the court.

That didn’t happen last week. In fact, that happened ten years ago in 2013, and shortly after the Supreme Court refused to review the decision. And to be fair, the courts probably got this right; asylum for persecution doesn’t usually involve non-discriminatory enforcement of regulation. (Germany enforces the home-schooling prohibitions equally regardless of religious affiliation, and even non-affiliation.)

Since that time, WBIR reports, the Romeikes have continued to live in the US, within a legal limbo of not being here legally but without any good reason to deport them. Since their arrival, the Romeikes have welcomed two more children to the family, which may be a complicating factor for their removal, and at least two of the emigrated children have grown up and married American citizens. That tolerance, it should be noted, seems to have been present in three successive administrations … until now.

Meanwhile Biden is ushering in thousands of migrants into the United States illegally through the Southern border:
