The Romeike family sought to stay in the United States because returning to Germany would mean they could not home school their children in that country.

The Supreme Court has declined to hear an appeal from a German family seeking asylum in the United States because their home country does not allow home-schooling.

The justices rejected an appeal from Uwe and Hannelore Romeike, who claim the German government is persecuting them because they want to raise their children in accordance with their Christian beliefs.

I don’t believe it either.

In fact, I have never met an ant-Christian. Most of the insects I know are polytheist, if they are religious at all.

The Supreme Court grants them asylum. This becomes the law of the land. Mexico bans homeschooling. Millions of Mexicans use this as a pretext to come to the U.S. Are we still for it?

That kind of hypothetical does little to advance logical thinking about any issue, and in a case like this makes no sense at all. Any immigrant in the country can apply for asylum. Have you seen millions of Mexicans claiming, for instance, to be Cubans? No, because the idea is ridiculous.

A more interesting question is why did the federal government choose to appeal the immigration judge's order allowing the Christian homeschooling family to stay? Why bother, considering they rarely appeal any immigration judge's order.

The real question is why is our government putting the full force of its litigation ability against one family of Christian homeschoolers? Why waste a huge amount of money, probably in excess of a million dollars, to deny asylum to one Christian family? The only rationale that makes sense is an anti-Christian bias and/or a desire to establish that government has a right to control every aspect of the education of children.

Both are the exact opposite of what our government should be thinking and doing, and raise far more serious concerns than whether or not some future immigrants will try to claim that they are being prevented from homeschooling in their country of origin, and then litigate the issue for years to establish their claim.

Only problem with this is that Mexicans are already here and we are already giving them asylum.

As I understand it, teachers unions are vehemently opposed to homeschooling, for obvious reasons. I think this seemingly irrational litigation may well be payback by the Obama administration to one of their hardcore constituencies.

As opposed to now where they have asylum by default AND consume billions of tax dollars sending their kids to public schools?

Do you really think we will have an influx of Mexicans who will home school rather than send their kids to public school for free meals and free education?

Should have claimed the kids were gay or transgendered or something . . .

Like Chief Justice Roberts?

But if the Supreme Court ruled it was a legitimate reason for asylum, then litigation by other individuals would not be necessary. You have to know when SCOTUS decides to take a case it goes beyond the individual case being heard.

FYI, I still remember Glenn Beck on air saying that the deportation of this family to Germany would happen “over my dead body”.

I take note of what he said and await his future actions.

From what I understand this family is in TN and its up to the RINO’s that run that state (95 percent of elected Republicans are not real conservatives) to make a “state asylum decision”.

The RINO’s in TN I would expect to be as tough with the feds at DHS-ICE as Obama is with Putin.

I do see Mexicans who are afraid to come to the U.S. as illegals being willing to use a legal means of getting their families out of abject poverty. Not all Mexicans are after the free meal, free money aspect. I know a lot of legal Mexicans that bust their butts doing jobs I wouldn't do.

Asylum would be legal status. Now we are just ignoring the problem.

Is there a different family that has already been deported to Germany where the state took their children from them?
I thought this action was for that family.

They’ve already been persecuted and Germany won’t allow them to leave with the children.

This case is about a family currently living in the United States (I understand in TN) and facing deportation back to Germany.

Then, yes, I would be okay with granting asylum to homeschoolers from there and everywhere else on the planet, provided that they are not otherwise enemies of the principles on which this nation was founded. I would be okay with granting asylum to all of the Christians being persecuted around the world as well. We could use more of them.

But they are Christian, and that would (probably) be a lie...

The Justice Dept. is making an example of this family for U.S., Christian, home-schooling families to take note of. As stated prior the family is the wrong religion, race, have too many children and are not freeloaders—just the type the U.S. gov’t no longer finds beneficial to the nation and Obamadumba’s causes.
