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.

“I’ve heard she donated a considerable sum - I think on the radio I heard $1200 but I can’t recall the exact number, I just remember hearing an amount that seemed to much for a woman living in section 8 housing.”
Not that much.
“Federal Election Commission records show Onyango donated at least five times to the her nephew’s campaign in July and September of this year. Three of the donations were for $5 apiece, and two of the donations were for $25. Records compiled by The Huffington Post show she gave a total of $260 to the campaign.”

I am researching Trinity Financial Partner
Hut! Hut!
(quoting Rush from a couple days ago :0)
I can see this back firing. Since she is such a “nice lady” and “model citizen” it may just drum up a whole lot of sympathy for illegal aliens. Nothing seems to stick to the Teflon Manchurian Candidate.
Me thinks this is the dagger if it gets reported by even 1/3 of the MSM, Mr Obama...Checkmate.

This is and AP story. It is getting out across the nation. What did Barry know and when did he know it? Especially since he has been a US Senator for the last two years.
Very interesting. I think there is probably such a web of connections here that it’s going to make you dizzy to look at it.
Please buzz up the article on Yahoo after reading.
What is going on it that B Hussein Obama couldn't pass a basic security clearance to work in any classified gov't position.
The FBI or CIA would trash his application in a heartbeat.
America, WAKE UP!

Shes hurting every taxpayer in this country, wake up.
And what a ping! Thanks, bitt!
Younger! Obama was ONLY 43 when his aunt was ordered deported. How could he have known or cared?
We need to know what he told her.

Did you see this? Unbelievable. Do-as-I-say-not-as-I-do Obama. Wonder if he’ll put her on the payroll? Nanny for his children? Housekeeper? Cottonpicker? Probably artist—She’ll “draw”
She qualified for public housing how exactly?
I think you are right. I had a thought, and I am going to say it. I have been up all night and maybe I am punchy but here goes.
This one financial institution Trinity Financial Partner, I looked at their motto or whatever they called it. First this financial thing is for upper income type people, says so right up front. I then looked at their motto or whatever they called it. First thing was to honor God.
That made me think of Trinity Church, the one Obama threw under the bus, and I got this goofy idea that maybe they are using the church to funnel money to Obama.
Anyway in the process I ended up with this huge page with a list of various publictions by that church. I had assumed that stuff was long gone, but one of them said this:
Obama says that Wright is not only his pastor, but he also is his friend and mentor. And Wright is one of the people to whom he turns help him explain how his liberal positions jibe with his faith.
I’m sure Obama will be paying back the government for his aunt’s care. We’re a bunch of schmucks.
how selfish of you!!!! sarcasam/
Good point.
What did Obama know, and when did he know it.....
