Obama aunt from Kenya living in US illegally

WASHINGTON (AP) — Barack Obama's aunt, a Kenyan woman who has been quietly living in public housing in Boston, is in the United States illegally after an immigration judge rejected her request for asylum four years ago, The Associated Press has learned.

Zeituni Onyango, 56, referred to as "Aunti Zeituni" in Obama's memoir, was instructed to leave the United States by a U.S. immigration judge who denied her asylum request, a person familiar with the matter told the AP late Friday. This person spoke on condition of anonymity because no one was authorized to discuss Onyango's case.

Information about the deportation case was disclosed and confirmed by two separate sources, one of them a federal law enforcment official. The information they made available is known to officials in the federal government, but the AP could not establish whether anyone at a political level in the Bush administration or in the McCain campaign had been involved in its release.

Onyango's refusal to leave the country would represent an administrative, non-criminal violation of U.S. immigration law, meaning such cases are handled outside the criminal court system. Estimates vary, but many experts believe there are more than 10 million such immigrants in the United States.

The AP could not reach Onyango immediately for comment. No one answered the telephone number listed in her name late Friday. It was unclear why her request for asylum was rejected in 2004.

Of course he won’t. Charity begins and ends with Obama.

To borrow a phrase from John “Silky Pony” Edwards, “there are two Americas!”

Or if you are a World Citizen like Barack Hussein Obama, there are two Worlds. The World of Barack Hussein Obama and the World of George Hussein Onyango Obama.

It will be intersting to wake up to the CBS early show and see if there is even a mention.

I'll never know unless it makes a thread on FR. I refuse to watch it.

The blogosphere will be ripe with it though and there are very few undecideds left at this late stage to matter much.

Hussein is about to have his a$$ handed to him on a platter. This is just icing on the cake!

She is his Aunt for crying out loud. He should make it his business to know such a thing. She was to be here for a short time (I still want to know why) and she is not gone. He should be asking WhY. He has no pass on this.

The former Secretary of State needs no further examination. We know what he is.

I want her out tomorrow. I know plenty of older Bostonians who could use all her freebies but would never think to ask....

Obamanation has no excuses for this....

BTW, she told one paper she has been coming in and out since 1975??? But it seems she has been here permanently for the last six years?? Under deportation for the last 4 years???

This is just one small example of our immigration system out of control - it just happens to be a gift horse that I want to WHIP!! BWAHAHAHAHA!

She never hurt anybody. Leave her alone.

By "her," do you mean the deportation fugitive who has been living on U.S. taxpayer money and made illegal donations to a presidential campaign?

This one is blowing up fast. It is all over Twitter and will be all over the web by morning.

This is the kind of embarrassing story that can derail a campaign in hours.

But will it get through to the LIVs? (That's low information voters, for those you in Rio Linda. AKA sheeple.)

Are you sure she’s a “fugitive”? Could she be in a different status?

The bottom line is that she’s a sympathetic figure, and attacking her would be counter-productive.

Go after BHO for not doing anything or for knowing about it instead.

“So as homeless Americans sleep on the street tonight, Obamas illegal non-citizen aunt sleeps in warmth...thanks to our tax dollars giving her public housing.”

Yet she still has $260 to give to her loving nephew’s Presidential campaign. An illegal alien living in public housing and donating to a Presidential campaign...what country am I living in?? Sheesh.

"The question that must be asked is whether Obama was aware that his aunt's application for asylum was denied."We know darn well that the aunt would have an Illinois Senator give character references to the judge in this case.

Everything was on the up and up until her asylum plea was denied.

Oblama bin Biden has known for at least 4 years. Favorite aunt extolled in his books.
