Actually, if she was born in the US she, like all anchor babies, are citizens of the United States.
And I am not all that sure that this case is far from ordinary as any illegal alien can claim that their lives would be in danger if they were deported to their home country.
So, should we permit all illegal aliens who claim their lives would be in danger if they were to be deported to stay in the USA?
It’s a shame Florida trusted Ohio. Thy forget that the muslin population is higher here than there and that Ohio is now ran by a bunch of corrupt democrats who do wahtever tehy darn well please. She’ll be lucky if she isn’t returned to her family within the month.
Have you ever heard of due process? It was afforded to the minor child in the Florida court, as it should have been. Because of the allegations of threats and physical harm to the minor child, the Florida authorities were required to investigate and make a determination with respect to the veracity of those allegations. That investigation and subsequent hearing was held, and those threats were deemed to be without merit.
The FL judge followed the law. She had to be returned. Judges don't get to make it up as they go along - that's what liberals want.
Just because the parents are Muslim, or are here illegally, they have an equal right to due process as well. As I said, both parties will have their day in court, which is all anyone can ask.
Rifqa was born in Sri Lanka and the stated reason her parents moved here was to have her treated for an eye injury.
Are all three of them in the country illegally?
re: permit all illegal aliens who claim their lives would be in danger if they were to be deported to stay in the USA?
We do it all the time. The immigration courts are chock full of people seeking asylum based on the fear they will be killed or imprisoned or otherwise treated badly if they are forced to return to their home country.
The very base of out judicial system is that those involved will tell the truth. The truth is a very elusive thing when it comes to Muslims. Their holy book tells them they must lie if telling the truth would interfere with their responsibility to Allah. The parents have already shown they have no respect for the law by being here illegally. Why should the court take anything else they say seriously.
I just don’t think this is your every day run-of-the-mill custody situation. But I could certainly be mistaken, goodness knows I have a nasty habit of that!
Perhaps, but an American court is not going to rule that a Muslim cannot be telling the truth use that for a basis to rule against him.
Their immigration status was under review when the judge made the agreement that he wouldn’t pursue it (the contempt citation for the father not providing proof of immigration status) in return for a guarantee that she would be left alone in foster care until she reached 18. I believe all three are illegal, but IMO she would have a good case for asylum with her conversion to Christianity and the history of killing of those who convert or are Christian in countries with a Muslim population.
The country needs to wake up to the fact that Islam encourages Muslims to lie.
