    ROFL you would not care about them if they were darker, or if they were from South America instead of Germany.

      To be clear, I think this is more about homeschooling more than anything.

      Its interesting to see who gets to stay and who doesn’t. How many millions do we get from central America vs how many from western Europe?

        Ya know, that’s a good question.

        From the Pew Research Center:

        Meanwhile in the more geographically isolated U.S., about eight-in-ten came from the Americas, with about half from Mexico alone.

        Next question: why are so many immigrating the Americas?

          Well, theres probably multiple reasons for that.

          The first reason that comes to mind is theres a land connection. Makes illegally immigrating much easier when you don’t have to attempt a water landing.

          Theres also how screwed up most of central America is compared to the US.

            I mean, who am I to disagree? In fact, I’d love to agree because Central and South America’s land connection has facilitated close ties to the U.S. historically.

    Seems like a real stretch to claim religious persecution because everyone in the country has to attend a regular school. Nothing prevents parents from also providing a religious education, but kids have to go to school, they can’t just be homeschooled. What minority is being persecuted?

    It was ruled against their appeal in 2013, and since then they’ve been living in the country on deferred action (something conservatives consistently fight against). I’m not understanding why this one is controversial.

    If you think making kids go to school is religious persecution you have your head screwed on backwards.
