Obama’s Kenyan Aunt: 4 Years An Illegal Immigrant!
Barack Obama’s aunt, a Kenyan woman who has been quietly living on welfare in a run-down public housing project in Boston, is in the United States illegally after an immigration judge rejected her request for asylum four years ago, The Associated Press has learned.
Zeituni Onyango, 56, referred to as “Aunti Zeituni” in Obama’s memoir, was instructed to leave the United States by a U.S. immigration judge who denied her asylum request, a person familiar with the matter told the AP late Friday. This person spoke on condition of anonymity because no one was authorized to discuss Onyango’s case.
Information about the deportation case was disclosed and confirmed by two separate sources, one of them a federal law enforcment official.
Onyango’s refusal to leave the country would represent an administrative, non-criminal violation of U.S. immigration law, meaning such cases are handled outside the criminal court system.
Onyango is not a relative whom Obama has discussed in campaign appearances and, unlike Obama’s father and grandmother, is not someone who has been part of the public discussion about his personal life.
A spokeswoman for U.S. Immigrations and Customs Enforcement, Kelly Nantel, said the government does not comment on an individual’s citizenship status or immigration case.
Onyango’s case — coming to light just days before the presidential election — led to an unusual nationwide directive within Immigrations and Customs Enforcement requiring any deportations prior to Tuesday’s election to be approved at least at the level of ICE regional directors, the U.S. law enforcement official told the AP.
The unusual directive suggests that the Bush administration is sensitive to the political implications of Onyango’s case coming to light so close to the election.
One of the sources acknowledged he was not a supporter of Obama or John McCain and said he has no plans to vote on Tuesday. He said that was not a motive for releasing the information.
It was not immediately clear how Onyango might have qualified for public housing with a standing deportation order.
She even made an illegal campaign contribution to the Obama campaign of $260.00. Only American citizens are allowed under law to donate to presidential campaigns. The Obama campaign has not returned the money. And how, on welfare, living in public housing, could she afford to give $260?
I wonder how long it will be before we are told Obama, of course, had no idea she had been ordered to leave the country, no idea she was in fact an illegal alien? Any bets on his knowing she was subsisting on welfare, in a dilapidated public housing project as well? For a man who has spent countless hours telling America how important family values are to him, Christian values, this is indeed strange, isn’t it?
No, not really. We already knew Barack Obama is an arrogant, narcissistic empty suit, a snobbish liar who will do anything to win.

The One (TM) won’t help his impoverished brother in Kenya, so knowingly allowing his aunt to live in poverty in the US would be no surprise.
