   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 Romeike’s   
   appeal – paving the way for the Christian family of eight to be   
   deported.   
      
   “I think this is a part of the Obama administration’s 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 administration’s 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.”   
      
   “It’s 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 would’ve told the Pilgrims to go back   
   home.”   
      
   There are nearly 12 million illegal immigrants living in the   
   United States. You’d think the Obama administration could find a   
   place eight immigrants who want to live here legally.   
      
   Farris said the Supreme Court’s decision not to hear the case   
   sends a chilling message to Americans who currently home school   
   their children.   
      
   “This administration thinks it’s a privilege to home school –   
   not a right,” he told me. “We’d 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 it’s 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.
