In a WBZ-TV interview last week, Onyango, 58, came across as an ungrateful free-loader. Until May, when she was granted asylum by a judge, the native of Kenya had been living in Boston illegally for about six years courtesy of Massachusetts taxpayers. Yet Onyango managed to say with a straight face that “I did not take any advantage of the system. The system took advantage of me.’’ As for living expenses, Onyango said her sustenance “comes from heaven.’’ And a monthly disability check.
Onyango, and many like her, get to kick back in public housing despite deportation orders hanging over their heads. And no one is the wiser until an undocumented immigrant’s nephew runs for president.
Not that fairness is keeping Onyango awake at night. She seemed surprised by the TV reporter’s questions about staying in public housing while living illegally in the United States.
“They gave it to me,’’ she responded. “Ask your system. I didn’t create the system.’’ Fair enough. The question has been posed. How much longer does Massachusetts want to be played for a fool?

Caller to Howie Carr show, to tune of “Pennies From Heaven”
“Every time it rains, it rains
Food stamps from heaven”
There are millions of Dem/Obama voters who have this exact same attitude. No matter what you do for them, its never enough. And you want to know the really scary part? Like Aunti Zeituni, they truly believe they aren’t really getting anything from the state (that is, the taxpayers). Its the sense of entitlement run wild.
She’s right. She is a victim of the system. The democrats give these people just enough to eke out a living and depend on government for survival, but fight back any attempt to grant them freedom and self sufficiency. Who says that slavery is dead? Democrats are like drug pushers.
That’s a MAN, baby!
Yikes! She looks like a guy in drag.
YOU BEAT ME BY 15 SECONDS!!!
“But the hands of local housing officials are tied by a 1977 court ruling — federal, no less — that has been widely interpreted to mean that no immigrant — legal or illegal — can be denied a state-subsidized unit “solely because they are not citizens of the U.S.”
State by state and the federal government as well needs to fix our legal system which is a joke. Cities too need to go through the books and sort through what is now centuries of nonsense.
Which one? The “undocumented immigrant’s undocumented nephew” or ‘That’s a MAN”?
“That’s a MAN”. GMTA!
APPLES DON’T FALL FAR FROM THE TREE! We have known this from the start now many more are starting to see it for themselves. The community organizer and chief is nothing more than a community organizer in presidentail clothing. No matter how you dress up the clown he’s still a clown
Absolutely right!
There is NEVER enough you can do for the entitlement-minded.
Look at low down payment mortgages. There is NEVER enough!
Looks like Michelle in drag....
Obama's Illegal Aunt: "You Have The Obligation to Make Me a Citizen"
We are the victims of our own elected officials,of the lawyers and judges that prosecute an agenda.
The crazy aunt speaks for her nephew as well.
Lets see...who was President in 77...why good ol' Peanut One J. Karter another PROGRESSIVE!
And I cannot express how violently angry they make me.
Years back we needed to use government assistance. The case workers seemed perplexed that my husband said he wanted to only use it for about six months until he was able to secure a job and be stable. They said they weren't used to be people using it for such a short amount of time. The food stamps were a much higher amount than we needed. We would hit the sales and stock up for after we were on our feet again.
