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.

"Kenya is in eastern Africa between Somalia and Tanzania. The country has been fractured in violence in recent years, including a period of two months of bloodshed after December 2007 that killed 1,500 people."


Notice no mention of Odinga, the Jihadist who caused the killing after losing the election. I guess they don't want talk about the fact that Obama is Odinga's cousin and that Obama campaigned for Odinga's Presidential Run.

“Didn’t she donate to 0bama’s campaign? If so, isn’t that an illegal campaign contribution?”

I was thinking the same thing. I wonder if Obama will have to give it back.

Nah.

I thought I read yesterday she has a job as a “Health Advocate”.

She must be doing health advocacy that Americans won’t do.

It is sure interesting that the AP released this article.

Very interesting for them to release it. And, will be even more interesting to see which daily metro papers pick it up. I sent the AP link to my metro paper, trying to nudge them into printing it.

Many states give tax payer funded benefits to illegal aliens w/out proof of citizenship. She’ll probably be able to vote multiple times. In Arkansas, we tried to pass a ballot initiative that would have required proof of citizenship for taxpayer funded benefits. It was sabotaged by the Democrat Attorney General Dustin McDaniel. Arizona’s Prop 200 passed and has forced illegals to leave the state.

Ah, taking benefits Americans...well, can't, since they're being given to illegals.

Do we have any doubt that Obama knew that his aunt was living here illegally? How can we trust him to enforce our nation’s laws on illegal immigration when he hasn’t bothered to even clear up his own aunt’s situation? How can anyone take this arrogant self-centered stuffed shirt seriously? He is a joke! I hope they hit this pathetic loser hard with this one. It is a pathetic situation, but illegal immigration enrages the majority of Americans, especially when they are in public housing and illegally collecting welfare. This one might stick!

I doubt McCain, and/or his campaign staff, even knew this broad existed!

Heck, even Obama seems to have forgotten she “exists”!

You're right. Obama had to know.
