Barack Obama’s Aunt is Living in the United States Illegally
There is a new and interesting development in the Barack Obama saga. The latest news, his aunt may be living illegally in this country:
WASHINGTON – Barack Obama’s aunt, a Kenyan woman who has been quietly living in public housing 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.
How does that happen? What does it mean?
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. Estimates vary, but many experts believe there are more than 10 million such immigrants in the United States.
OK, so it’s not a criminal court case, but it is still illegal. I bet the McCain camp is going to have a field day with this one. This has been a rough night for the Obama.
Only 4 more days of this madness then we can get back to worrying about our jobs again.
