Save Homeschool Refugees from Being Shipped Back to their Persecutors
Homeschool Legal Defense Association ^ | September 2023 | HSLDA

Posted on 09/21/2023 1:53:08 PM PDT by Recovering_Democrat

...The Romeikes are a homeschool family forced to flee Germany. They were being persecuted because of their religious conviction that they should be the ones directing their children’s education.

In 2013, in the face of overwhelming public pressure to grant them asylum, the Obama administration granted the Romeikes an “indefinitely deferred action status.” This has allowed them to live and work in the United States for the last 10 years, without fear of deportation.

Then in September 2023, without any prior warning or explanation, the Romeikes were told that they are being deported, and have four weeks to obtain passports to Germany. Germany’s opposition to homeschooling has only increased in the last 10 years, making criminal charges against this family all but certain upon their return.

President Biden and his administration have the authority to direct the Office of Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) to reinstate the Romeikes’ deferred status and save them from deportation.

Together, we can ask the Biden administration to do just that.

Urge the Biden administration to let the Romeikes stay.

I remember this story from way back. Obama would not give them asylum, which screamed loud and clear what he and his administration thinks of homeschooling.

But apparently back then, political pressure won the day. Biden’s administration is a little more hell bent on raising the middle finger to reasonable people and, in this specific case, parents who wish to take responsibility for their children’s upbringing. That message is sent loud and clear by their apparent unwillingness to re-instate their status.

How ironic considering who is grinding our country into the ground with Open Borders/Free Migration, alas, for everyone but White Christian refugees. Biden chose his whole Team based on that ideology, and so did Obama, which made it surprising then and hopeful now that a petition might hold weight in 2023.

IIRC....homeschooling was banned in Germany under Hitler and was never reinstated after all these years.

I worked with a pilot from England who had a green card or work visa, I think. His wife, in the same boat, had a thriving business here and they paid a TON of taxes. They both got a notice that they were going to be sent back because their time had ended.

Intelligent American loving taxpayers, who have a business is being deported but we take scum, dirtbag criminals and their spawn to support for the rest of their lives.

Criminal illegal third world immigrants supports the Regime Agenda, but white Christian homeschoolers do not.

There is no “rule of law”, “Constitution” or consistent set of rules.

It is all about power.

Rule or be ruled.

Same thing here. My long time tree contractor, good family man with a thriving business, was abruptly told he would have to go back to Costa Rica.

Russia will probably take them in. They have offered farms to the white South African farmers, IIRC.
