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.

Its probably why he made the crack about McCain having called him every name in the book over the past week except “One of God’s children.”

Probably so. The next 3 days are going to be very interesting to be sure. I was so happy to hear that McCain is up by 1. Thats great and this just may do the trick, provided everyone goes and votes.

She has been here for four years after being told she had to leave. Obama had to know she was here illegally. He had a responsibility as a U.S. senator to report her. He did not. So now we know he was covering for her being here illegally. Good bye Obama, this has now cost you the election.

This makes me more determined to actually READ whatever is BEING HIDDEN on Obama’s BIRTH CERTIFICATE.

Illegalities with relatives. Unknowns in a background.

Folks. What is going on?

He wouldn’t want to spend his personal money helping her but the government sure can. That really shows who Obama is...

Cradle to grave. He wants the government taking over preschool kids' lives, and obviously the elderly too. When he said that we are our brother's keepers, that was all a lie. He could have sponsored Auntie and gotten her some kind of clerk job.

He claims legal, I doubt that, a lot of people doubt it. He refuses to prove it, therefore it begs the question what does he have to hide. He won’t prove it and we can’t.

Thank you, I’m so sick of these I just go reading the posts minding my own business and boom they just keep popping up, I told my wife today there are as many trolls posting on here as freepers. They need to learn to lurk for awhile and they will learn much. Not posting much now moving way to fast, but I have got your backs, on my knees.
