President Obama’s uncle will fight deportation to his native Kenya, one of his lawyers said yesterday, because he has lived in the United States for nearly 50 years and now considers it his home.
Onyango Obama, 67, a half-brother of the president’s father, has turned to the same law firm that helped his younger sister, Zeituni Onyango, overturn a deportation order and win asylum in Boston last year.
Obama was last ordered deported in 1992, but he remained in the United States until Framingham police arrested him last week on drunken-driving and other charges.
“He does want to stay,’’ said Scott Bratton, who with lawyer Margaret Wong in Cleveland have taken on Obama’s case. “He’s just been here for such a long period of time. He hasn’t been to Kenya in forever. He was young when he came to the United States.’’
Bratton said the legal team is still piecing together the details of Obama’s case, and he did not know why the federal immigration courts ordered Obama to leave the country in 1992 - nor why he never left.

With the help of his older brother, Barack Obama Sr. - the father of the future president - Obama arrived in the United States in 1963 to study at Browne & Nichols in Cambridge, according to a new book, “The Other Barack: The Bold and Reckless Life of President Obama’s Father,’’ by Globe reporter Sally H. Jacobs.

Obama owed the IRS a total of $3,876.52 for the tax years 1987 and 1988, according to a lien filed in the Middlesex South District Registry of Deeds in 1990. Later, the agency filed another lien targeting Obama under the name of Obama O. Onyango, saying he owed them $971.35 in taxes for the 1990 tax year.

There..fixed it.
I stole some money about 20 years ago and now consider it mine.
Why hire a lawyer. This is the messiah’s uncle. sarc/
Move over Roger Clinton.
Don’t you think Uncle Sambo will get a free pass..Remember he knows things about Obama and if he is sent back then we might learn if Obo was really born in the USA..Which we know he wasn’t..
He worked?
First the aunt, now this guy....aunt’s on welfare..while Obama has made millions....people are gonna start to notice...
Sneak into someone else’s home and tell them that you consider it YOUR home and see what happens to you.
Auntie Zeituni got “asylum” b/c that’s where all the endless US tax dollars are-——that suppoort her in a life of luxury.
But asylum requires the applicant to claim a hardship .....that going home would be dangerous.
But Auntie was well-connected in Kenya-—she would be treated like royalty there.
Golly.....let’s hope Auntie did not falsify govt documents to get on the US gravy train (/snix)
I know people from Kenya. They came here (legally) because street crime had gotten so totally out of control you were taking your life in your hands to walk down virtually any street in Nairobi after dark.
Given that criteria, anyone could make a case for being in danger of life and limb if sent home.
Current population of Kenya: 41 million.
Are we giving them all asylum?
He already has a legal team in place.....The United States Departrment of Justice......nuf said.
At Conti’s Liquors. I guess Liquor Store Clerk pays well to be able to hire a lawyer from Cleveland who charges $600 an hour just for the consultation. BTW, IRS has gotten involved.
Aunt Zetuni got upgraded to a waterfront apartment in public housing.
I think One Illegal Obama is more than sufficient in this country. Thank You very much .
can someone explain to me how does one fight deportation when they have already been found guilty of being in this country illegally and ordered to deport?
also why havent the courts figured out that illegal immigrants are a flight risk? Basically short of murder, there is no law that they will follow. these are our new neighbors.
voluntary deportation, what a joke.
