Boston radio talk show host Howie Carr brought up on his Monday's show that Onyango Obama, President Obama's long lost half uncle ("Uncle Omar") who was arrested by Framingham, Massachusetts police last week, charged with DUI, and found to have a warrant out on him by immigration authorities at ICE, has a valid social security number and a Massachusetts driver's license.

...A number of commentators are mentioning that President Obama's uncle may have benefited from a policy from the days that go back to former Massachusetts Democratic Governor Michael Dukakis, whereby illegal immigrants were assigned identification numbers that looked similar to social security numbers. A 1989 Associated Press article with the headline "Mass. Aliens Given Fake Social Security Numbers" describe how these numbers were released: (bolding is mine)
Massachusetts welfare workers assigned hundreds of dummy Social Security numbers to illegal immigrants to enable them to receive millions of dollars in state benefits.Federal officials said Wednesday, there's nothing illegal about it. But Gov. Michael Dukakis says it's got to stop because it goes against his new efforts to crack down on aid to illegal aliens, which he says the state can no longer afford. The practice started after Dukakis issued a 1985 executive order barringstate agencies from asking people applying for state services about their citizenship status. But citizens or not, the computerized welfare records required a caseidentification number for each person, and that had to be a nine-digit number since for most people the ID is the same as their Social Security number. Welfare spokeswoman Michal Regunberg said the department issued its own control numbers, which started with a three-digit prefix not used by the Social Security Administration.

Obama sets new standards all the time.
Jimmuh Carter no longer has the most embarrassing idiot relatives.
Was he able to vote??? I wonder if he’s on the voting registry?
And what are the chances that this illegal alien has voted in past local and national elections?
Chances are pretty good.
I don't think there is anything else that needs to be said here.
OMG! Willy Horton is BACK and he’s OBAMA’S UNCLE!!!
ROTFLMAO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
amazing.
And Aunty Z? I do not remember anyone asking the same question about her.
Runs in the family.
We’ll never know.
Just like I’ve always wondered why when local presstitutes report about the voter fraud here in MN, why is it they can tell us their names and their arrest records, but never can seem to tell us WHO it is they voted for?

Although I never jumped on the birth certificate or citizenship bandwagon, stories like these make me want to cut some slack to people who did. I'm not saying where there is smoke there is fire. I'm saying when you have matches and some fuel a reasonable person can anticipate a fire.

>>Prior to 1973, cards were issued in local Social Security offices around the country and the Area Number represented the office code in which the card was issued. This did not necessarily have to be in the area where the applicant lived, since a person could apply for their card in any Social Security office. Since 1973, when SSA began assigning SSNs and issuing cards centrally from Baltimore, the area number assigned has been based on the ZIP code in the mailing address provided on the application for the original Social Security card. The applicant's mailing address does not have to be the same as their place of residence. Thus, the Area Number does not necessarily represent the State of residence of the applicant, neither prior to 1973, nor since.
I read that anyone can change what is on Wikipedia. So I don’t believe a thing that is backed up by that site.
Good point; hopefully the info is mostly correct but who knows!

Better still, check out the Wikipedia page for Obama. I defy you to find mention of anything negative about the Muslim Illegal Alien Socialist.
totally unsupported claim that: "After graduating with a J.D. magna cum laude[36] from Harvard in 1991..."
If you follow that link, (don't trust me -- go to Wikipedia and follow their link...) you will find that it does not go to a source that supports their claim re his degree -- but to a generic page explaining the various "Latin honors".
Did you even find any mention there that there are some serious Constitutional scholars who question his "Natural Born Citizen" status? Didn't think so...
