If you want to know how our leaders plan to transform this country, it’s not enough to look at the millions of foreigners from the Third World that they’re importing every year. That’s obviously one of the most important parts of what they’re doing, and it’s clearly deliberate. We have Border Patrol agents literally fist-bumping illegal migrants on-camera and cutting fencing for them. But, at the same time, it’s also important to take a look at the kind of people the government is expelling from this country. Don’t just focus on who they’re importing. Look at who they’re exporting, arbitrarily and by force. If you do that, you’ll learn a lot about the ideologies that our government truly cannot stand. You’ll discover what they desperately want to destroy, as quickly and completely as they can.
Here’s a case that tells you everything you need to know on that front. Just a few weeks ago, without any warning, the Biden administration decided to deport the Romeike family. They’ve been living in the state of Tennessee for the past 15 years. This is a family that, unlike the illegal immigrant drunk drivers and violent felons that the Biden administration will defend at every opportunity, has not committed any crime. So, what did they do?
Well, back in 2006, Uwe and Hannelore Romeike were living in Germany. They decided to homeschool their five children because they’re Christians, and they were upset about the perverted and Satanic books that their kids were being forced to read in schools. Sound familiar? But in Germany, homeschooling wasn’t allowed. There’s a Nazi-era law in Germany, which is still in effect to this day, that bans homeschooling in the vast majority of cases. Officials in Germany then started fining the Romeikes more than they were earning. Police officers showed up and dragged their kids to school. They threatened to take the children permanently.
To protect their children, Uwe and Hannelore Romeike fled to the United States back in 2008. Initially, an immigration judge approved their request for asylum. But the Obama administration appealed that decision, and ultimately, a federal appeals court told the family they had to leave the United States and return to Germany. This is a report on what happened, from a decade ago:
After the decision to deport this family was upheld in the courts, there was an enormous public outcry, as you might imagine. So, the DHS under the Obama administration did something unexpected. They allowed the Romeikes to stay in this country. In 2013 the feds granted the family something called “indefinite deferred action status.” That allowed them to work and live in the United States, without fear of deportation, and without any timetable for leaving. They were free and clear.
That was their arrangement for a decade. During this period, the Romeikes had two more children, both of whom were born in the United States. But then, on September 6th of this year, during a routine check-in, all of this changed. The Romeikes learned that their deferred status was coming to an end. The Biden administration, for some reason, had decided to terminate it. They weren’t given a reason. They were told that they had four weeks to get German passports, and that they’ll be deported on October 11.
No one in the Romeike family did anything to trigger this change in the federal government’s reasoning. All that’s happened is that the Biden administration has decided to end their deferred status, out of the blue. Watch:
A federal court ruled, a decade ago, that this family doesn’t technically qualify for asylum, even though they’re in a really difficult position. Whether you agree with that ruling or not, it really doesn’t matter. Even if we concede, for the sake of argument, that this family doesn’t have a legitimate asylum claim, the fact remains that the Biden administration has spent the last several years refusing to deport millions of illegal aliens who *clearly* don’t have any legitimate basis for asylum. This is not something that I personally concede, by the way. It is obvious to me that if you flee a country because you are being persecuted for exercising your basic human right to educate your own children, you are in every sense a legitimate asylum seeker.

But the point is that we already open our arms to many illegal immigrants who have no claim to asylum at all. We’re talking about criminals who came here simply because they want to make more money. These criminals enjoy total protection under the Biden government. In fact, Joe Biden himself is on record saying he wants I.C.E. agents fired if they deport illegal aliens who come here and then get caught driving drunk. Watch:
So, if you come here from Haiti or El Salvador, and then having broken our laws to enter this country, you proceed to get completely wasted and endanger American citizens on the road, Joe Biden thinks you shouldn’t have to fear deportation. And on top of that, he thinks any federal agent who even contemplates deporting you should lose their job.
But I.C.E. has no problem going after the Romeikes. None of the I.C.E. officers telling this family that they’re about to be deported are worried about getting fired by Joe Biden. It’s almost as if they’re following orders. This law-abiding, hardworking Christian family is dangerous, according to the Biden government. They’re lawbreakers, because of some technicality with asylum procedure. The family patriarch, who works as a piano accompanist at a small private university in Tennessee, is a threat. But the drunk drivers who could wipe out your whole family? We need to protect them at all costs, that’s what they’re saying.
It’s so absurd on its face that you have to conclude that something else is going on here. What might that be? The other day, one of the many ghouls at the left-wing propaganda outfit Media Matters said the quiet part out loud. Of course, it’s not worth paying any attention to Media Matters most of the time. They’re a partisan Soros-funded operation that exists to defame and smear their political opponents. But as a window into what the Biden government and their allies are planning, it can be useful to check in on Media Matters every now and then. So with that in mind, here’s what one of Media Matters’ hacks, who uses the name “Ari Drennan,” posted the other day on X: “Hot take but unless you have a very good reason, homeschooling should be illegal. Too many parents use it to abuse their children, keeping them ignorant and easy to control.”
Drennan was responding to a video of a child pointing out that Joe Biden sniffs children, and how disgusting that is. Of course, any reasonable, well-adjusted child would agree that it’s disgusting that Joe Biden sniffs children. But that makes Joe Biden look bad, so Ari Drennan couldn’t let it stand. And in the process, the quiet part was uttered out loud, which is this: Many on the Left, especially the LGBT Left, have hated homeschooling for a long time because they see it as a direct attack on their ability to indoctrinate the next generation of Americans. And they’re right about that. So, they want to outlaw homeschooling, just like they did back in Germany in 1938. They’ll accuse you of child abuse if you resist their indoctrination. And ultimately they’ll try to take your children.
It’s hard to imagine another reason why the Biden administration could possibly want to deport the Romeikes. The truth is obvious: They want to take out a symbolic target. White Christians who won’t do what they’re told — who won’t surrender their children to the perverse propaganda that the Biden administration endorses — are the enemy of this regime. And now they’re very publicly being shown the door. This is a precursor to what they’re planning for the rest of us.
It’s also, once again, a chance for the Biden administration to humiliate its political enemies. The Romeikes have seven children. One of them is married to an American citizen named Trace Bates. According to the Tennessean, “Trace Bates was photographed with his brother in crowds at pro-Trump protests in Washington on Jan. 6, 2021. Trace’s brother Lawson Bates said on social media that the two attended a pro-Trump event in Washington’s Ellipse Park but were not part of the riot at the U.S. Capitol.”
So this family definitely doesn’t have the right politics. If they torched Wendy’s on behalf of BLM, maybe they could stay. But they like Donald Trump and they question the sacred legitimacy of our infallible elections, so they have to go. They have to uproot their lives, and move halfway across the world, leaving half of their family in the United States.
What’s interesting about this is, is that back when the Trump administration tried to end the Obama-era D.A.C.A. policy, courts ruled that Trump didn’t have the authority to do it. Why? Because they said all those illegal migrants had come to rely on Barack Obama’s decision. So even though what Barack Obama did was illegal — even though D.A.C.A. was unconstitutional — all of those illegal migrants had to stay in this country. They were entitled to rely on what Barack Obama promised them. But the Romeikes don’t get that luxury. Maybe they should have gotten D.U.I.’s and voted Democrat, if they wanted to stay here.
It’s hard to see exactly what happens next in the Romeikes’ case. Lawmakers in Congress right now are working on legislation that might let them stay in this country. And they’re obviously taking this through the court system. But as a sign of where things are going, the implications are pretty clear. These people do not believe you have the right to educate your children. They think that’s their job. That’s why the Biden DOJ opened up federal counterterrorism investigations because of parents complaining at school board meetings. It’s why Joe Biden’s surrogate, Terry McAuliffe, said, “I don’t think parents should be telling schools what they should teach.” It’s why California just tried to pass a law saying parents could lose custody of their kids if they don’t affirm their “gender identity.” And it’s why now, the Biden administration wants to send the Romeikes back to Germany, where they’re all but certain to be prosecuted.
A few minutes ago I said we’re importing foreigners and anarchy from the Third World. But really it’s worse than that. We are specifically rewarding thousands of Haitians and Guatemalans and Africans who endanger their own children in their efforts to cross the border. And, at the same time, we’re exporting hardworking white Christians who care more about their children than anything else in the world. We are governed by politicians who hate children as much as they want to control them. Whatever happens to the Romeikes, that’s now very clear. And like the Romeikes, we really only have one choice in response, which is to disobey. Whatever the consequences, the alternative — surrendering our children to these scumbags — is much worse.
