Boston Housing Authority: Aunt Zeituni okay by federal rules (the excuses begin)

A Boston Housing Authority official said yesterday the agency was never notified of a deportation order issued for Barack Obama’s aunt, who has been living in federal- and state-funded public housing in South Boston since 2003.

BHA Deputy Director William McGonagle said Zeituni Onyango, 56, a native of Kenya, met the criteria to live in federally funded housing when she applied in 2003. The Associated Press reported yesterday that an immigration judge instructed Onyango to leave the country in 2004 after her asylum request was denied.

“The deportation order, based on my understanding, based on what I’ve read in the newspaper, was issued after she moved into public housing in Boston and we would have no way of knowing if there was an order or not,” McGonagle said.

Auntie sure knew.

Iam just curious——IS SHE REGISTERED TO VOTEE??? we already know that she has illegally contributed to his campaign

[tobyhill]

Especially being on welfare and illegal then giving taxpayers money to Obama. Obama claimed he's returning the money to her but it really wasn't hers to give away like that. I'll bet auntie ain't worked a day in her life.

Barack should have his Aunt move in with him in Chicago until she can clear this up.

[I got the rope]

I don’t think so. I’ve been looking all day.

Too late now. If she doesn’t get deported there will be different kinds of riots in this country.

And to think she was in DC for O’s swearing in and he had “no idea” how she got there, right? All the way from Kenya. Very “spur of the moment”.

Who else is he hiding here?

[mabelkitty]

He also knew she wasn’t a citizen and took the money any way.
Perhaps we need yet more overhaul of election finance in this country.

[Eagles6]

Yes, would be big if it proved that she was registered to vote.

[webschooner]

lots of CYA going on.

“It is a massive, absurd loophole that we can fix very easily,” Hedlund said. “We’ve got some people in the Legislature that think it’s acceptable because these people are vulnerable and need housing, but it shouldn’t be at the expense of some of the 100,000 people who are on the waiting list here in the commonwealth.”

OUT. NOW!!!!!!!!!! We work and pay taxes for THIS??????

This explains it:"We have no affirmative responsibility I am aware of to further check on their status after they are initially deemed to be eligible".

You understand? "No controlling legal authority".

F’n liar. Somebody’s palm was greased.

"One neighbor said Obama’s aunt had not been home since Thursday."

Where is she? Did Someone's campaign whisk her away for a few days?
