Reporting Jonathan Elias BOSTON (WBZ) ― "If I come as an immigrant, you have the obligation to make me a citizen." Those are the words from 58-year-old Zeituni Onyango of Kenya in a recent exclusive interview with WBZ-TV.
Onyango is the aunt of President Barack Obama. She has been living in the United States illegally for years, receiving public assistance in Boston.
Aunt Zeituni, as she has come to be known, first surfaced in the public light in 2008, in the final days of the Presidential election. Then-candidate Obama said that he was not against the possible deportation of his aunt. "If she has violated laws, then those laws have to be obeyed," he told CBS's Katie Couric. "We are a nation of laws."
Onyango had violated the law, and she knew it.
"I knew I had overstayed" she told WBZ-TV's Jonathan Elias when the two sat down one-on-one.
Zeituni Onyango said she came to the United States in 2000 and had every intention of leaving. Then, however, she says she got deathly ill and was hospitalized. When she recovered, she said she was broke and couldn't afford to leave.
For two years Onyango said she lived in a homeless shelter, before she was moved into public housing. "I didn't take advantage of the system. The system took advantage of me."
"I didn't ask for it; they gave it to me. Ask your system. I didn't create it or vote for it. Go and ask your system," she said unapologetically.
And she's right. The system provided her assistance despite her status as an illegal immigrant.

The list, ping
Let me know if you would like to be on or off the ping list
Give me a dollar!
Wasn’t she granted either asylum or a green card about 2 months ago?
Go back to AFrica and quit sucking off us, the TAXPAYERS, you welfare queen.
This is an amazing story. It needs to be featured in media throughout the United States. Think you will see it anywhere but on Free Republic?
She appears to be a walking, talking plea for legal immigration—and for tossing out anyone who comes in illegally.
So arrogant. And SHE’S the victim?
NO....just like Carter saying that he was SUPERIOR to the other living Presidents!!!!!
This is just one more example of the capitalist system exploiting the huddled masses - ripping off that - cof cof - ‘surplus value’ one reads about in the textbooks.
Enjoy your socialism while you can, Yanks!
She was just another client of the welfare state. The welfare state needs clients to justify their expenses and employment..the more clients..the more they get to take care of them.
Ah, the victim card. I was wondering when that would be played. You have learned your lesson well, Grasshopp...er, I mean Aunt Zeituni.
