BOSTON — An immigration judge has granted asylum to President Obama’s aunt and will allow her to stay in the United States, her lawyers said Monday. She could become a citizen in about six years.

Zeituni Onyango, 57, who lives in public housing in Boston, is the half-sister of Mr. Obama’s late father and is from Kenya. She moved to the United States in 2000 on a valid visa and has been seeking asylum since 2002.

Judge Leonard Shapiro, an immigration judge in Boston, reached his decision in the long-running case on Friday. Her lawyers announced the decision Monday at their offices in Cleveland.

Ms. Onyango applied for asylum in 2002 and was rejected in 2004 and ordered to leave the country. She continued to fight the case and in April 2009, Judge Leonard Shapiro in Boston stayed her case until February, when hearings were held in the case.

It’s too crowded under the bus, so she had to stay.

You know, if and when I ever earn a nice bit of money, my parents will be the first to benefit. They are getting along on a limited amount of money each month, and it would be my pleasure to tell them I would take care of their monthly expenses. What kind of person is Obama that he leaves his family members in poverty, or very near to it, as he lives and reigns as The Supreme One? He is one sick puppy.

If the President can’t get his Aunt into the country, “What is America coming to?”
Give the old lady a break.

In seeking asylum for Ms. Onyango, Ms. Wong has argued all along that if she were forced to return to Kenya, she would face undue attention and perhaps danger because her nephew was so famous; in order to be granted asylum, people must show that they would face persecution in their home countries.

Certainly gives a whole new meaning to the word "persecution" ...

Not only that, there were people who wanted to give money to help Obama's brother who was living on like $10 a month or something like that, and the Obama campaign wouldn't share the guy's address so others could help Obama's relatives. So if he actively blocks his family from getting help you can see what sort of punk he is.

She should be made to move in with her nephew. Might as well consolidate, and just have one abode being usurped rather than two.

Punk. That’s a good “P” word to describe him. I have another that I use regularly.

If the President can’t get his Aunt into the country, “What is America coming to?”

An Hispanic lady (naturalized citizen) called Neal Boortz this morning to discuss the use of the terms "undocumented" and "illegal" aliens.

According to her definition, the Obamatron's auntie would be "illegal", since she had a visa to enter but overstayed her legality.

On the other hand, those crossing the wide open border to the south are "undocumented", since they possess no documents.

They all look illegal to me.

According to radio reports, she told the judge and the court to go frack themselves. Another charming immigrant.

Unless she does something obviously good like start a pro-life pregnancy center, revoke the asylum in three years.
