Zeituni Onyango, President Obama’s aunt who fought deportation, dies
Boston Herald ^ | 4/8/14 | John Zaremba

Posted on 04/08/2014 1:09:24 PM PDT by raccoonradio

Zeituni Onyango, the aunt of President Obama who fought deportation in a controversial courtroom saga in 2008, has died, her immigration lawyer told the Herald.

Onyango died this morning at a rehabilitation hospital after a lengthy bout with cancer and respiratory ailments, attorney Margaret Wong said.

“She’s been ill for quite some time. She didn’t like people to know, because she is so strong,” said Wong, who kept in touch with Onyango in recent years and called her “auntie.”

“I don’t think she accepted she was dying,” said Wong. “She just kept thinking she needs to go on.”

Onyango, a Kenyan national whose illegal-immigrant status came to light during her nephew’s first presidential bid, was famously defiant in her fight for asylum and insisted she had a right to live in taxpayer-funded housing in South Boston.

Onyango’s family is making funeral arrangements, which are being complicated because of her estrangement from her husband’s side of the family, Wong said.

One less welfare leech! We must make sure she doesn’t vote in November!

She was less of a leech than her dip $hit nephew and his Jack Link's mascot of a wife.

No big deal for Barky... I'm sure she voted for him MANY times, and she'll continue to vote for Hillary in the 2016 elections. After all, she's dead, i.e. votes demonrat.

Not to worry. Obama will have a quiet, tasteful ceremony for her in Arlington National Cemetery.

A few years ago a local Boston TV station did an interview with here in which she was *quite* frank in expressing what she was entitled to here in the US.Search youtube if you're curious,but if you do make sure you have an air sickness bag nearby...you'll need it.

Multiply her opinions times 30 million Mexicans (and a few million other illiterate alien parasites) and you have what the Rat Party is all about...."we give you citizenship,you give us votes.You give us votes and we give you 35 kinds of welfare benefits."

Yup when I vote here in MA I am not asked for ID. Surely her name will still somehow be on the rolls and someone will vote in her name

I just came back from buying gas and used a credit card, because I hadn't signed the card yet, they asked for id. When I go vote they don't ask for anything. (central Illinois).
