They requested asylum. Surely you realize that asylum requests are frequently denied. Why after 15 years? 1. They have resources, so it took a while. They litigated all the way up to the Supreme Court. 2. They lost their court case in 2014 but DHS let them stay anyway under "indefinite deferred action". 3. Deferred action is that thing Republicans call unconstitutional. |

Do you speak to/work with/talk to any Europeans under 40? As an American who has lived on both continents extensively — even if you limited true freedom of movement sans visa to western and Northern Europe — as a percentage basis, more would come to the US vs go to Europe. Say less about the eastern euro eu countries where there would be mass movement tomorrow if freedom of movement existed between the us and eu as a whole. There would be specific edge cases like Norway, Denmark, Switzerland, and maybe Austria where citizens wouldn’t come. But uk, Sweden, France, Germany, Spain, Portugal, Italy, Belgium, Netherlands and then all of eastern eu — the flows would tilt heavily proportionally to the us. |

The German family should stay and further more we should unilaterally give German citizens the ability to come to the us without sponsorship.

I support this as a dem but it would never pass congress. Dems struggle with even the slightest reform towards more skill based vs family reunification visas within the immigrant pool due to strong lobbies from the Latino community I don’t think even a president can carte Blanche allow visa free freedom of movement to specific countries. The way I would frame it is i would propose legislation that would allow all citizens of enumerated member g7 countries to have freedom of movement to live and work in the us on a “shall issue” visa basis. Dems obviously would say no but it would be a massive economic and cultural boost to the us while making the rest of the g7 even more dependent on us strategically. |

| Here's some trivia for you. One of the adult children is married to Trace Bates. He's from a gun-toting, racist, "Christian" family with 19 kids. They are friends with the Duggars! The Bates family had a TV show that got cancelled after a vile home video of them making "jokes" about George Floyd got leaked on social media last year. Trace and one of his brothers were at the 1/6 MAGA insurrection. Talk about karma being a b****! |

Why would we want to do this? What's in it for the US?. |

| I'm fine with them being deported. I dont agree with Germany's policy against homeschooling, but they are EU citizens. They can simply move to another EU nation without compulsary schooling. This seems like an excuse and not a particularly believable one. |

Their healthcare insurance is structured a lot like ours but has higher rates of participation in the "obamacare" equivalent. |

Massive strategic wins: Cheap labor influx relative to skill level and assimilation rate, massive gdp boost, makes europe more of our client states America would be a lot richer if under 40 eu citizens flooded here en masse (old ones wouldn’t come even if offered) |

But we already have too many immigrants and are struggling to integrate them. Plus, Germans dont have enough children. |
