It is done all the time. Lots of Germans were granted asylum and later found to be part of the Nazi concentration camps...they were found out, and deported to face charges in their own country. So any time somebody gets through immigration on false pretenses, deportation is the protocol. This family dodged a $9000.00 fine for breaking the law in their country.
Personally, I agree with the family about home schooling, but they were willing to break the law in their country and that shows some (although not much IMO) character flaw. If these people were willing to break the law to do what they believed in...what would prevent them from breaking our laws, should they decide they don't agree with them? If a person flees to Mexico to get out of a fine for breaking the law in the USA, the Mexican government is supposed to send them back to pay up and get things straight here before allowing them to come back....LOL..at least in theory, I don't think they look too hard. Obviously we don't either, and look the other way quite a bit.
This family is using the media and American beliefs to manipulate and get what they want. They need to go home, pay the fines, obey the laws of their land...apply for a visa like normal folks who want to go live in another country. They have a child born in the USA, that gives them an automatic in, but they still owe their country the money on the fines they accumulated. Plenty of folks come to this country and give birth, the whole family gets to stay because Junior is an American. I feel pretty sure after this family pays up, they will be allowed back.
Yeah, the nazi's were sent back because they violated the following..
Legal Bars to Asylum
Under immigration law, the Immigration and Nationality Act (INA), certain aliens are
barred from obtaining asylum. They include those who:
• Have firmly resettled in another country prior to coming to the United States;
• Have already applied for and been denied asylum, unless there are changed
circumstances that materially affect the alien’s eligibility for asylum;
• Have ordered, incited, assisted, or otherwise participated in the persecution of any
person on account of race, religion, nationality, membership in a particular social
group, or political opinion;
• Were convicted by final judgment of a particularly serious crime (including
aggravated felony convictions), and therefore constitute a danger to the
community of the United States;
• Are believed to have committed a serious nonpolitical crime outside the
United States before arriving in the United States;
• Pose a danger to the security of the United States;
• Are members or representatives of a foreign terrorist organization, unless the
Secretary of the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) determines that they
are not a danger to the security of the United States; or
• Have engaged in or incited terrorist activity.
Don't see the fines imposed by Germany falling under these statutes for revocation or asylum denial.
Also, those nazi's sent back weren't granted asylum. They snuck in under false identities to gain citizenship.
