Deportation hearing for Obama's illegal immigrant aunt set for April 1st


                    (AP Photo/J. Scott Applewhite)

Boston, Ma. – Zeituni Onyango, aunt of President Obama and illegal immigrant from Kenya, is scheduled for a deportation hearing on April 1. Since being ordered deported in 2004, Onyango has resided in the U.S. illegally; living five years in Boston's taxpayer-funded public housing. This will be the third effort by the 56 year-old to avoid deportation. Onyango came to the U.S. in 2002, seeking political asylum from the violence in Kenya.

President Obama stated that he hasn’t been involved in the matter and that it should be resolved the same way as any other case. Some critics of the President see this issue as a test of his duty to enforce laws concerning immigration. Regarding Onyango living in Boston public housing, critics also point out that there are countless legal immigrants and citizens on waiting lists for the accommodations.

Executive director of the Center for Immigration Studies, Mark Krikorian, stated that if Obama’s aunt is finally deported, it could “raise the president’s credibility enormously on immigration enforcement."

    Why is obama's aunt concerns his political career if there is nothing more to write about obama why don't we just sit quietly and support his political career because like it or not he is the president and a human being like any other individual that has rule this country.

    Chingo,

    Your brilliant punctuation and subject-verb agreement aside, your arguement is a bit juveline and hypocritical. "Sit quietly and support his political career..." Seriously?

    Just like the liberals did with George W. Bush when they voted Obama into office, right? Just like they're doing right now in California regarding the democratically passed proposition 8, is that correct?

    In other words, if Obama's politics are in line with those of Chingo Derrick's, we should all keep our mouths shut instead of insisting on our President's unbiased enforcement of his duties, am I getting that right?

    Please don't respond. Thirty-seven English teachers died as a result of your last post.

    Chingo:

    There issomething to support? This guy hasn't done a thing to cheer about. His tv appearances like this week's press conference appear more suited to a campaigning candidate than to those of an elected official as he hectors and belittles the naysayers who would doubt the judgement of "The One"...

    And there is still the lack of an original copy of his birth certificate...

    And BTW, our Constitution rules this country and he is president under it. At least until the Kenyan birth question is answered.

    ACTION ALERT: write/call to deportation Judge to kick Obama's crooked aunt out of the USA(Kick Zeituni's patootie out!) -they closed the hearing on 4/1/2009 so the fix is in. Web Search"Back in Boston, Obama's aunt fighting deportation".The same judge ordered her deported on 4/16/2003 and 8/11/2003. She refused to leave and went into hiding. She has used false identification, voted in elections, contributed to elections and has received free housing and medical care in the $100,000's. And is now saying she wants aslyum because to be sent back she will be harmed. What a lie, OBama is a hero in Kenya and she has many other relatives there and around the world who are not harmed/afraid.

    • Document Fraud INA §237 (a)(3)(C);

    Let's hope they get her deported IMMEDIATELY this time. Just who does she think she is to snub her nose at our immigration laws? Yes, who?

    The same with all the other ILLEGAL ALIENS in this Country. Who do they think they are to snub their nose at out laws? They have all these ILLEGAL ALIEN BABIES, paid for by the American taxpayers, then we have to give them free medical care, school them and everything else.

    This illegal immigration has caused more problems than anyone could have ever imagined. It's got to come to an end.

    I believe it is time for all 50 States to pass a State law, like Arizona, Oklahoma, Mississippi, Missouri, South Carolina and a few others. It is time for these ILLEGAL ALIENS to go back to their home Country and get out of this Country. The problems they are causing will not go away until the ILLEGAL ALIENS are out of this Country.

    NO ILLEGAL ALIEN HAS A RIGHT TO BE IN THIS COUNTRY FOR ANY REASON!

    I came to this country legally 3 years ago and myself and my husband( who is a us citizen) have so far spent thousands on all the applications that you need to first get here then to get a work permit/greencard and now my son and myself are at the end of the road and we can claim citizenship next fall. I work hard every day in my job and dont receive any government handouts so why is this woman getting her housing and god knows what else given too her when someone like me who pays her taxes keeps her bills in check have to live hand to mouth paycheck to paycheck and cant even have a say in how my taxes are spent or should I say wasted. I think this lady is taking right liberties and she should be sent home (her 5th hearing wow that lady is either stupid or thinks her famous nephew is going to help her out) either way she should get back to Kenya

    Nothing will happen to her. Our laws are not inforced in this country. Look at our border to the south. Look's like a sive. We have a President that may just have violated the law by not being born in this country. Seem's no one care's, except the people and we have no voice from the people in Washington that are suppost to be there taking care of business for us.

    Obama is not above the law.

    Neither are his relatives.

    The judge should obey the rule of law

    and deport her and all others.

    Obama should have the compassion to

    help her financially in Africa.

    He and Michelle, after all, are wealthy people.

    Obama is hollow when he talks about wanting

    to fix a nation and he himself cannot

    do his little part to help his relatives.

    let her in the country. president is doing alot for us to get us out of this economy and make us better. we should force our law to let her in united states and gave her a status.

    president Obama will never say anything about her because he got to respect his job But deep down we know that she is his family member and he will never think bad of his family member. Please let her get a status. This would be a little gift from us to President Obama and his family.

    You people are so evil, the United States is a country made of immigrants. Also, stop talking about the president of the United States in those horrible words and comments. I am sure you are a bunch of ignorant and non educated people. Oh wait! Actually you are afraid of the fact that White people will become the minority group in this country! Well it has to and it will for a fact happen. You have no other choice but to deal with it. As for the lady by the name of Donna, you are simply a hater and want everyone to go through everything that you went through. Well, guess what? You are simply a miserable person who will remain unhappy for the rest of your life. Not everyone has to spend thousands to get their legal status. Unfortunately for you, that is your luck so deal with it and by reading your statement it is good for you that you had to go through all your difficulties.

    The President's Aunt arrived here in 2000. She has been ordered back on a few occasions now which she has ignored. Danger? Excuse me but many of the President's relatives living in Kenya attended the innaugration (so did this aunt) and returned to Kenya. Point- as a social worker I've had people waiting 8 yrs for public houseing - she got the best (handicapped no less) WE are footing the bill?

    WHY - the President/wife (tax returns) report millions in income. HE doesn't know? The aunt has told reporters of the # to times she's visited Illinois, WAY before his election. As a social worker I can tell you SOMEBODY in high places pulled strings to set this woman up on US GRAVY train (food - housing - stipend check - all medical) for LIFE.

    This proves that our immigration laws are a joke - and that if the President can't take care of his own - FORGET ABOUT US.
