WASHINGTON - Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama said Saturday he didn't know that one of his relatives was living in the United States illegally and believes the appropriate laws should be followed.
The Associated Press found that Obama's aunt had been instructed to leave the country four years ago by an immigration judge who rejected her request for asylum from her native Kenya. The woman, Zeituni Onyango, is living in public housing in Boston and is the half-sister of Obama's late father.

There are half a dozen Onyango's living on my street. I'm sure it would be easy to get confused.
Imagine that your nephew is a high powered Harvard-educated lawyer, with a high political profile. You're not going to ask him for help with the immigration authorities?
Right.
Obama is a detestable human being who takes advantage of "ignorance"...
The Obama bus!
I sure hope it becomes a headline on Drudge with the footnote of is Barack legal too!
This is plain horsecrap that the Democrats run a guy who is suspect at best.
This is not the Aunt I knew.
This is not the Rev. Wright I knew.
This is not the Tony Rezko I knew.
This is not the Fr. Phleger I knew.
And I didn’t know about Bill Ayers past.
Who's they? You mean the dem controlled congress?
He took her money for campaign contributions but he doesn’t know anything about her. LOL !! He’s a real family guy lol
Illegally in the US;
Told to leave;
Staying in taxer funded public housing;
Nephew about to become POTUS.
And we wonder why this country is in decline?
That's not what he said.
He said: "...any and all appropriate laws be followed".
Keyword "appropriate". That's a loophole you could march a tribe through.
Being an illegal alien also means it is illegal for her to contribute to nObama’s campaign.
If the FEC had some cojones and wasn’t a total, feckless joke, thay would go after this. But we’ll never hear about this from them.
Time to defund the FEC. They don’t do anything.
Did Auntie--an illegal alien---use a stolen ID to get a job in the US? Did she use a fake ID to contribute to a US presidential campaign?
FReeper Calpernia turned us on to candidates using stolen ID's to fraudulently file documents with the FEC.
FReeper Calpernia also suggests all candidates, their staff AND their donors be E-verified.
Well, he claims to know the best way how to spread your money around.
“I can’t talk about it, I just pray for him, that’s all,” she said, adding: “After the 4th, I can talk to anyone.”
Someone reached her to shut her up. "
A normal person couldn’t make this stuff up if you tried!
He didn’t know about her illegal status...but did he know she was living in a slum? Not good enough Obama.
I actually believe him when he says he didn’t know about his aunt. I don’t think he knows or cares ANYTHING about all these relatives the press keep finding who are living here illegally or are living in poverty around the world.
If this country elects this Muslim no-name with no leadership record except community organizing, we deserve whatever we get.
I believe our side is taking it on Tuesday, though. No way can I imagine that our enemies will triumph, in having a U.S. President with the name “Hussein” anywhere in their name.
Yet, we, the TAXPAYERS, are paying for her housing, food, health-care, etc.!!!
How the **** did she get into PUBLIC HOUSING anyway?! Is there anyone in charge who is willing to step forward and get this mess of WELFARE FOR ILLEGALS (& others) CUT OFF?!
How much more of this crap will we pay for if Obama is elected?!!!!
Obamanation is pro-amnesty so why does he want to deport his poor illegal alien Auntie?
Oh, it’s just a temporary political expedient to try to get him past Nov. 4.
Normally he would say “that’s not the illegal alien Auntie I know - but let’s grant her amnesty!”
