By now, most people have heard about The Associated Press report that Sen. Barack Obama has a distant aunt - his deceased fathers half-sister - living in Boston who is an undocumented alien. They may also know that Zeituni Onyango, from Kenya, was denied political asylum by an immigration judge four years ago.
As Josh Micah Marshall at Talking Points Memo reported Saturday, Rep John Conyers (D-Mich), chairman of the House Judiciary Committee wrote an angry letter to Michael Chertoff, secretary of the Dept. of Homeland Security, saying the disclosure, by at least one federal law enforcement official, according to The AP, was very disturbing and warrants an investigation.
In fact, the disclosure wasnt just disturbing - it was either illegal, or it was approved directly by the U.S. attorney general. And, it endangered Onyango and any of her family that continue to live in Kenya.
According to the U.S. Code of Federal Regulations, 8 CFR 208.6, it is illegal to disclose that a noncitizen has applied for political asylum, without her explicit consent or at the discretion of the attorney general.
The Supreme Court, in United States v. Ray, explained the reason: because the applicant or her family could be subject to retaliation in their home country.

Ghouliani spent $60 million in the primary and ended up with one delegate (that he shared). Ghouli's campaign is recorded in history as the stupidest, losingest campaign ever.
Conservative-hater Mehlman (ousted as RNC chair) sent Ghouli out to campaign----Mehl's plan was Ghouli would pick up chits for his prez run. Every candidate Ghouli campaigned for lost---conservatives were appalled when Ghouli showed up.
McC's second big mistake---Lieberman leeching onto his campaign. Pukeneo stooge Lieberman was sucking up to McC as he wrote a $100K check to Dems to "preserve" his liberal creds. He wants it all--no matter who wins, Lieb gets a job.
Lieberman is a material threat to our system of government---imperiling the crucial "checks and balances" opposing parties bring to the table.
This is the first time I’ve heard the ‘political asylum’ angle. What keeps every illegal from claiming such a circumstance?
Actually, anywho DOES have a number for her right now on 111 Flaherty. Its ........cookcounty, now you've done it. Todd Stroger and his boyz will get you for that.But Obama couldnt find her!!!!! Im just a dumb truck driver and found her in 2 minutes!!!!
;-)
According to the Boston Globe, her application for housing was approved in 2003 and she was classified as an “eligible asylum seeker” at the time. Her application for permanent status wasn’t denied until the following year.
Apparently public housing in MA doesn’t update status with the INS.

Dear Obama,
I know where Auntie is...
Please come and get her....
She needs a ride to the polls..
Cordially,
Nana
I’d like to know how much that “small stipend” amounts to, and if it covers her living expenses, including her phone and taxi rides. She’s getting money from somewhere else if she can afford multiple donations amounting to $260 for her nephew. I’d also like to know whether she’s declaring that “small stipend” as income for tax purposes, and whatever other federal benefits she receives.
Robocalls going out about this.
“he last-minute, under the radar issue some Republican groups are pushing this year appears to be the news that Obama’s aunt is an illegal immigrant.
Stephen Medvic, a professor of government at Franklin & Marshall University in Lancaster, Pennsylvania, tells Politico he received a robocall on that subject, and on Jeremiah Wright, last night.
Here is a transcript of the call:
Barack Obama. His pastor preached God damn America. His aunt is living in America illegally. This illegal alien aunt is living in public housing. Barack Obama accepted illegal campaign contributions from his illegal alien aunt. Call Barack Obama at 202-224-2854 and tell him you are against illegal immigration. This message was paid for by NewModelsUSA.org and is not authorized by any candidate or candidate committee, 866-283-3421.
NewModelsUSA.org appears from its spare website as a vendor, and doesn’t appear to have filed with the FEC or elsewhere. The contact email listed on the site bounced back, and the number goes to anonymous voicemail. The only other place the firm appears on the Internet is on the website of the Winston Group, a Republican consulting firm, which didn’t immediately respond to questions about the call.
Rick Wilson, a consultant to the National Republican Trust PAC, which is airing Jeremiah Wright ads nationally, said his group had not sponsored the call.”

I had read on WND, that not only the lady in Boston was in the United States, but Auma, a relative of Barack,was also in New England . The inference was that the State Department would not release details because of the policy of protecting persons. Persons at risk if they returned to Kenya.
It claimed Auma was "stranded" in New Hampshire. Thus, although she is hard to find, she could be in the U.S. Last seen February 2008. She does have full rights on entry to the United Kingdom. Hardly an dangerous situation, if deported.
A distant aunt? How is an aunt distant? Doesn't Obama have a distant uncle in the Boston area too?
“I found her address on zabasearch.com”
Hey thanks. I’ve used ussearch for years...just for general info, not paying for further research, etc.

I joined Experience Corps because
I felt that I should help the children in my community. I love people and enjoy interacting with them. My friend had so many wonderful things to say about her work with Experience Corps. Also, I was idle, and this was a chance to get involved.
I know I'm making a difference when
I see the change in children I have worked with. All children are fine as long as they have a good foundation, but there is no foundation without literacy.
My favorite part of tutoring with Experience Corps is
Being able to help children succeed. As an older adult I feel I have much to give young people - as well as my peers. Experience Corps has given me that opportunity.
Working with students teaches me
Just how much I can impact the education of children in the school system. I learn different strategies and approaches to help children and also to improve myself. In addition, being an Experience Corps member has taught me that I can be a leader in my community.
THE SHAPE OF THINGS TO COME:
US World Net Daily reports Obama’s Kenyan sister is “stranded” in NH after visiting the United States during the Iowa caucus campaign, WND has learned. Auma is involved with Obama’s presidential campaign.
Violent political unrest in Kenya has prevented Obama’s half-sister from returning to her native African homeland.
Auma Obama is now stranded in New Hampshire and indefinitely in the US, according to US security officials.
But Auma is married/separated from an Englishman, lived in England, and had a child in England. The State Department views the situation in Kenya as too dangerous for Americans, as well as Auma Obama, to return.....nothing about England being unsafe.
On the bright sidewhile shes “stranded” she can establish several identities and be ready to board the US gravy train.....like Obamas illegal auntie in Boston (there’s also an uncle).
An Obama family photos pictures his half-sister Auma, her mother Kezia Obama, Obama’s step-grandmother Sarah Hussein Onyango Obama, half-brother Abongo Obama, and three other half-brothers (names of Obama’s four other half-brothers not listed).
Obama will insure they’ll all get “stranded” here.
Somehow, trying to make light of a looming situation (who knows?). This tune rang through my mind. It is a Streisand special and she can belt out a great song. Something about.....
"The luckiest people, the luckiest people in the world".
Chuckle.
People.......people who need people........ are “The luckiest people in the world”.
“I want everyone to know that I think it is great that the Feds are now investigating this leak to protect an illegal alien (other than Obama, the Kenyan) from harm rather than going after less important matters like investigating whether Obama (have I mentioned he’s a Kenyan?) is a natural-born citizen of the United States to protect the entire population of the United States from harm.
That guy Mukasey really has his priorities in order, no doubt imbibing great wisdom at the feet of his Presidential master.”
The article only mentions a request for an investigation. Where did you get the information that an investigation has started?
