okay.. i’ll be ‘that guy’. Mexican family hops border to become illegal immigrants so their kids can have a better future = ‘send them home, back of the line’. German family does same thing, ‘Amnesty!’
They have previously been granted political asylum here.
Obama’s admininstration - ICE - appealed the case !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
They come for religious freedom.
Not to “make it big in America”, i.e., free stuff, easy money.
And they were duly granted political asylum.
There is a difference between Mexicans hopping the border and this family. This German family DID NOT COME TO THIS COUNTRY ILLEGALY.
They applied by another immigration category — ASYLUM. They applied via this category claiming the German government had denied their religious freedom by forbidding them from homeschooling their children.
German law mandates that children attend public schools. And in 2007, Germany’s highest appellate court ruled that parents who fail to comply can lose custody of their children in extreme cases; homeschool families can also face significant fines.
Also, this German family ARE NOT A BURDEN to any taxpayer. They sold their assets in Germany, came here, bought a farm and raise their own food.
The issue is this — BASED ON THEIR CLAIMS, SHOULD THEIR APPLICATION FOR ASYLUM (A LEGAL Category in US immigration law ) BE GRANTED?
APPLES AND ORANGES comparisons here when comparing to illegals coming from Mexico.
