US Wants to Deport Christian Family
By Julio Severo
The US government is contesting a court decision that had granted asylum to a homeschooling family from Germany. US officials argue that the German Christian family, who were suffering religious persecution from German officials, should be deported back to Germany.
|
The Romeike family |
Uwe and Hannelore Romeike fled Germany in 2008 after authorities fined them thousands in euros and forcibly took their children because they homeschool. In 2010, a U.S. immigration judge granted the Romeikes political asylum the first time this status was granted based on compulsory schooling laws. The judge found the family had legitimate fear of persecution in Germany, where a small group of Christian homeschooling families have already been jailed, fined, and stripped of their children.
But the Department of Homeland Security immediately disputed the judges decision. Attorney General Eric Holder has also entered the dispute, arguing Germanys ban on homeschooling fails to violate the familys fundamental rights.
Is religious freedom no longer important for America? Apparently not, especially if the victim is a follower of Jesus Christ.
Weeks ago Secretary of State John Kerry was barely off the plane in Germany before he embarrassed the Pilgrims and American founders with what is perhaps the worst statement on religious freedom ever offered. Kerry said the United States protects religious freedom because In America, you have a right to be stupid.
This is a very interesting statement coming from the US government. The US State Department has not only made homosexual rights its top priority, but it has also been advocating them around the world. And if Third World nations do not accept them, US aid is denied. America is determined to impose her homosexual imperialism on the world because she sees sexual perversion as more important than persecution of Christians. And if you do not see such interests as top priority, the US cultural warfare machine will label you stupid.
The problem is that the Romeikes did not flee Germany because of such interests. They fled because the German government is insistent on its defense of an old Third Reich law banning homeschooling. The Nazi law is being used now to persecute Christian families who homeschool their children.
If forced to return to their native Germany, the Christian family faces huge fines and criminal penalties, and could lose custody of their five school-age children.
Michael Farris, founding chairman of the Home School Legal Defense Association, is suing the US Department of Justice on behalf of the Romeikes. He said, I really wonder what wouldve happened to the Pilgrims under this administration.
The Pilgrims are very fortunate not to be alive today to apply for asylum in America. Fortunately for them, they arrived at America in a non-politically correct century.
They wanted America to be a safe harbor for persecuted Christians. Instead, America has increasingly become a safe harbor for homosexual activists from other nations. I have read about gay activists from Brazil who were granted asylum by asserting that there is persecution of gays in Brazil.
The Brazilian government bestows millions on gay groups and their political projects. They have government, media and other powerful institutions even the United Nations prostrated at their feet. In contrast, Christians preaching against their filthy behavior are threatened and persecuted by the Brazilian government and media.
Even so, Brazilian homosexuals are able to get asylum in America.
In todays free America (free for sodomy), only gay Pilgrims would be welcome. Immigration officials would ask them, Why are you coming to America?
And they might respond, Because the Brazilian government has refused to grant us billions of dollars for our comprehensive cause of societal change. We have received only a few millions. This is persecution! This is homophobia!
Yet, the sheer stupidity is not Brazilian gays being granted asylum to join their American lovers in America and increase their power for ideological militancy. The right to be stupid, according to Kerry, belongs to people hungry for freedom to worship God and homeschool their children, not to depraved individuals hungry for filthy homosexual sex acts.
In this progressive view, the love of anal sex makes one a bright and intelligent individual, deserving a welcome in America to enjoy all her benefits.
In this view, the Pilgrims and any Christian faithful to the Lord Jesus Christ and His Word are just stupid.
Please pray for the Romeike family. They came to America in the wrong century!

The Law they fled was a 1935 Nazi-Era law that banned homeschooling. I always thought the Germans were ashamed of their Nazi past, and did all they could to abolish it. Looks like they’re ready to light up the ovens again.

Why haven’t they changed their name to rodriguez and gotten fake ID’s? They could even get drivers licenses in some states and apply for welfare.

I personally know one German family who emmigrated to Denmark for just this reason. I think that was at least 8 - 10 years ago.

I guess this is true as long the country in question is not a MuZlim nation.
I am pretty sure that Egypt just got 1.5 billion dollars in aid plus a the right to purchase a bunch of military hardware.

“Attorney General Eric Holder has also entered the dispute”
It’s amazing the ways this pathetic excuse for an attorney general can waste taxpayer dollars, challenging this being one example.

I worked with a German engineer who spent most of his time in the USA because that was where his German based company sold most of their product.
He and his teacher wife, both multi-lingual and hard workers, tried and were refused entry for a path to permanent residency and citizenship. They would have been immediate contributors to our society and not teat suckers.
Thanks to the woman killer, Kennedy (may he never rest in peace) the deliberate lower class immigration preference by America continues. Keep pumping pollutants into the gene pool and eventually (or has already) it becomes toxic.
Why, other that votes, are we giving preference to teat suckers over those willing and proven able to contribute.
The outcome of the war with Japan would have been much different and our space program would have been non-existent without German engineers.
