Does anyone think that the beltway powerhouses didn't extend their tentacles into this immigration case? Obama's “Auntie Zeituni”, who ignored deportation orders since 2004, gets a pass. Why? Judge ain't sayin'.....
President Obama’s “Auntie Zeituni”, who was discovered by The Times living illegally in Boston, was granted asylum in America yesterday in a controversial decision that will fuel the already charged debate on illegal immigrants.A judge ruled that Zeituni Onyango, 57, the Kenyan half-sister of President Obama’s late father, would be allowed to stay in the country despite ignoring a 2004 deportation order.
Ms Onyango received the notification by mail three months after she turned up in a wheelchair to testify before an immigration judge at a closed-door hearing in Boston. The rationale for the judge’s decision was not made public.
"Auntie" made her bid using asylum... based on "violence in her native Kenya". Yeah.... Funny about that stuff. Find a place that doesn't have violence these days. And on the ladder of violence, Kenya's bloodshed barely registers on the media meter when contrasted with other countries. But Auntie now can apply for a green card, conferring permanent residency after one year. And that, folks, is a demonstration on how to cut the line in the immigration system.... courtesy of the family of the President of the United States.
Auntie, BTW, is a welfare citizen of the state of Massachusetts. So how are those family ties going with Mr. Compassionate for the Downtrodden? You know, the one occupying the oval office? What about the responsibilities of family?

C’mon. Obama is all about cronyism, deal making, destroying the opposition. Why wouldn’t he give his Aunt citizenship?
Too bad ole auntie wasn’t living in Tuscon.
why wouldnt the obamas just step up and offer to sponsor her so she wouldn’r be a CONTINUING BURDEN to the American and Massachusetts taxpayer???
Too stingy and greedy...and busy lecturing us about how to share our wealth
I’m just curious...why doesn’t Auntie get a job?!?!?
Also wondering if she has ever had a job?!?!?
Translation: If they didn’t let her stay she was gonna dig up that birth certificate everyone wants to see so much.
That’s bad enough she gets to stay here under some phony notion of “asylum” but let Obama and Michelle support her sorry ass. 100%.
She is just one old woman who has the misfortune to possibly be related to the biggest liar who ever lived.
I say possibly, because I have seen no proof that Obama is related to her.
We have 30 millions just like her, illegal, and sucking off the citizenry of the United States.
So Obama’s aunt gets to remain in the US as an illegal alien. She will probably remain on the public dole too as the Obama’s won’t come to her aid even though they made over $4million last year.
Obama needs to explain how Auntie, who was without any health insurance and as an illegal alien, managed to get a hip replacement and undoubtedly other medical care when we have been told by Barry that people like her are dying in the streets because they have no health insurance. What is also obvious is that she was living on the taxpayer’s dime. Imagine the stink if George Bush had some long lost relative in a similar situation.
Why would she need asylum?
I was told Kenya is a WONDERFUL place to live! Am I mis-informed?
;-)
It’s just more evidence that we really live in a country divided between the elites and the rest of us. If you’re an elite, or just related to one, the laws are nothing but theoretical in nature.
But if you’re a taxpaying, hardworking, law-abiding American, you’re expected to keep your nose to the grindstone, be grateful for what the elites allow you to keep, and don’t ask any questions of your betters.
It’s WAY past time to go Galt...
No shiite? Really? What a surprise.
The list, ping
But I thought B.O. said that people like Aunt Z. should just take a pain pill and go home! How did she end up gretting orthopedic surgery?
Reason? There needs to be a reason? If she’s connected to the One, surely that’s enough.
