AP: Obama aunt from Kenya living in US illegally
San Francisco Chronicle ^ | October 31, 2008 | EILEEN SULLIVAN and ELLIOT SPAGAT

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.

Yeah, gotta love (sarc) the line by AP attaching McCain’s name to the issue. Hey, AP, McCain wants her to have a pathway to citizenship!!!!

” This person spoke on condition of anonymity because no one was authorized to discuss Onyango’s case.”

It was not immediately clear how Onyango might have qualified for public housing with a standing deportation order.

Really? Not clear? Naw..... /sarc

Obambi’s illegal Auntie is the one to whom Joe the Plumber’s wealth will be spread around.

They try to tie Bush in in two paragraphs further down in the article.

Hmmmm...maybe this was the reason for kicking the non-kneepad wearing press off the plane earlier today, to minimize the risk of being asked about this.

This is good news for a small section of the Obamasses, it illustrates the need for the beneficence of his programs.

On the other hand, for the rest of America, it's a big nail in his political coffin.

If an immigration judge issues a deportation order and nobody hears it, does the order make a sound when it falls in the woods?

This would be fine for fun and games a couple of months away from the elections, but it will be a waste of time to pursue this now.

We have plenty of ammo to use against Obama.

I spent NOT ONE SECOND on the birth certificate and other swatting at butterfly issues.

Go for the jugular with only the good stuff until Tuesday.

If you don’t think this will have an impact in Pa, Va and Ohio you’re nuts. And McCain/Palin don’t have to lay a glove on it.

“in case he really did jump the shark....”

No doubt. Could signal a feeding frenzy on the other side.
