At the risk of sounding like I support Barky in this case, if memory serves, these people sought asylum.

I am opposed to granting these people asylum which would have made them virtuallly instant American citizens.

Sorry Germany doesn't let them homeschool but, as far as I'm concerned, that does not make them refugees.

Okay. I am prepared. Flame away.

I don’t think it’s a legitimate reason for asylum, either.

If refusing a family the right to educate their children isn't political oppression I don't know what is. Would you think differently if being imprisoned for homeschooling, religious beliefs or for your political views was being imposed on you?

HSLDA brought them here specifically to challenge American laws. They could have moved to any other European country and been allowed to legally homeschool.

German law sucks, but if you want to become an American get in line.
