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.

Which means, this elderly, impoverished, essentially unemployed lady sent her MULTIMILLIONAIRE nephew a check, and he has done NOTHING to help her?
Excuse me — what a low-life he is. Does anyone think that she will be with the family in Chicago Tuesday nite for the big party in Grant Park?
I'm sure Michelle would never allow it — “auntie / granny” doesn't have the right shoes to wear.
AND, he took her money for his campaign.
She’s probably laying low until Tuesday when she figures Obama will take care of her.

LOL

It’s 12:00AM - Do you know where your Hillary is?
“Obama (D-ACORN)...”
LMAO!!! LMAO!!!
Obama: “That’s not the Auntie Oynanga I knew”.
********************************
EXACTLY — she’ll be under the bus before you know it — at least she’ll have company!
I wonder if she did or will vote, or even if she is registered. Anyone that lives in Chicago that can check? That is public information, at least it is here.
AND he took her money. Yes. But in fairness to Obama, he was only 47 years old when he took his impoverished aunts money who was living in a slum at the time.
The attack could only come from groups - not the McCain camp. And the attack could only be targeted at Obama - not the “poor old lady.” Republicans can’t be seen as beating up on some elderly woman....legal or illegal. I hope it will be picked up in the MSM and that they will ask Obama directly, but I’ll not hold my breath over that.
"Damn, you caught me!"
“Does this mean that AP will get kicked of Airforce 0?”
You heard that Obama took the American flag off of his plane and replaced it with that “Obama/Ocean” symbol, right?
Thanks for the ping!
The video that is playing in my head based on your suggestion is hilarious. I wish you could see it:) LOL
Well, there is that....
Bush payback for the 2000 DWI/DUI October surprise? Cool.
Neither does the guy that robs a bank. I hope your comment was just joking, if not, it was surely ignorant if not stupid.
Can Zeituni Onyango produce a birth certificate? Can ANYONE in the Hussein Obomber family tree submit some sort of planetary existence evidence?
I wonder how this is going to play in the court of public opinion.
The woman may garner a lot of sympathy for Obama.
On the other hand, Obama is going to have to explain whether he knew her application for asylum had been denied, and do so convincingly. This has the potential to blow up in his face.
Tomorrow is going to be very interesting.
