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.

>I wish Rush or Hannity would put her up in a hotel room for 6 months. The PR would be worth 50x the cost.<

as Rush calls it, "Slum, Sweet Slum"

I am sure there are many of us whose relatives live simply and never even THINK of looking for assistance from the government...and yet these illegals take and take and take.

Now we find she's CONNECTED and illegal....what a nephew!

"Barry, can you help me with this immigration thing"??

"No".

No worries - nothing is gonna happen to her...and for McCain/Palin to beat up on a little old lady is anathema.

I am a little skeptical about this. I hope no one on our side is getting information they should not have. Obama would so love that.

Too bad Obama (D-ACORN) is only buying votes from the middle class. Auntie has to fend on her own if she can’t vote.

Of course not, he wants to share yours with his illegal alien family members.

Sucks when the media look into your background. Now she knows how Joe the Plumber feels.

The difference being she's breaking the law...and the MSM will ignore this story.

Times like this, I almost feel sorry for Obama. Imagine the embarrassment of having all these poor ignorant relatives coming out of the woodwork and having to figure out what to do about them all. What’s he supposed to do, invite them to state dinners? Put them up in the Lincoln bedroom? Buy them fancy houses in Hyde Park? And how many of them are there? Heh heh heh . . .

Do not concur......

Mr Obama...when did you know your Aunt was in Chicago...and when did you know she was here was illegally?

This is big... it's just a matter of how you get the info out.

Rest of the illegals must be celebrating, if they keep her, they will demand the same treatment.

Republicans, go vote for the sake of nation’s laws!...please.

I know she’s breaking the law.

There are a couple million breaking the law in TX right now also. Better to make a spectacle of her then enforce immigration laws which is a subject for another post.
