Obama and his dummyrats would prefer to have illegal Mexicans,
drug dealers, child molesters, homosexuals and murderers over a
family with moral values.
Uwe and Hannelore Romeike came to the United States in 2008
seeking political asylum. They fled their German homeland in the
face of religious persecution for homeschooling their children.
They wanted to live in a country where they could raise their
children in accordance with their Christian beliefs.
The Romeikes were initially given asylum, but the Obama
administration objected claiming that German laws that outlaw
homeschooling do not constitute persecution.
The goal in Germany is for an open, pluralistic society, the
Justice Department wrote in a legal brief last year. Teaching
tolerance to children of all backgrounds helps to develop the
ability to interact as a fully functioning citizen in Germany.
On Monday, the Supreme Court declined to hear the Romeikes
appeal paving the way for the Christian family of eight to be
deported.
I think this is a part of the Obama administrations overall
campaign to crush religious freedom in this country, said
Michael Farris, chairman of the Home School Legal Defense
Association. His organization is representing family.
The Obama administrations attitude toward religious freedom,
particularly religious freedom for Christians is shocking, he
told me in an exclusive telephone interview. I have little
doubt that if this family had been of some other faith that the
decision would have never been appealed in the first place. They
would have let this family stay.
Had the family stayed in Germany, where homeschooling is
illegal, they would have faced the prospect of losing their
children. Like the Pilgrims, they fled their homeland yearning
for a place where they could be free.
Farris said the religious bias perpetrated by the Obama
administration is palpable.
Its a denial of the essence of America, he said. The
Pilgrims left England to go to Holland to seek religious
freedom. They came here to seek religious freedom and parental
rights for their children. Had this administration been waiting
at Plymouth Rock, they wouldve told the Pilgrims to go back
home.
There are nearly 12 million illegal immigrants living in the
United States. Youd think the Obama administration could find a
place eight immigrants who want to live here legally.
Farris said the Supreme Courts decision not to hear the case
sends a chilling message to Americans who currently home school
their children.
This administration thinks its a privilege to home school
not a right, he told me. Wed better buckle down and be ready
to fight them every step of the way.
As for now, the Romeike family will be able to stay at their
four-acre farm in the eastern Tennessee. But its only a matter
of time before the Obama administration begins formal
deportation proceedings.
Last year, I interviewed 15-year-old Daniel Romeike, a soft-
spoken boy with aspirations of one day becoming a mechanical
engineer. He told me he was afraid of what might happen if the
family was deported. He feared being taken from his parents and
placed in government custody.
If I had a chance to talk to President Obama, I would ask him
to let us stay in this great country of freedom and
opportunity, Daniel told me.
So on behalf of the Romeike family, I would like personally
appeal to President Obama.
Please, Mr. President, have mercy on this Christian family. They
came to our shores longing to be free. They left their homeland
to escape religious persecution. Please, sir. Welcome them to
our land with open arms. Bestow upon them a small measure of
grace so they might be able to raise their children in the land
of the free, the home of the brave.
Please spare these dear souls.
