Obama's Kenyan Aunt Battles Deportation

February 15, 2010 by  

Obama's Kenyan aunt battles deportation President Obama’s paternal aunt Zeituni Onyango, who is a citizen of Kenya and living in the U.S. illegally, appeared in a Boston court recently to fight a deportation order issued in 2004.

Onyango, who is wheelchair bound, testified before Judge Leonard Shapiro about her asylum request, according to media reports. Her previous request filed in 2002 was denied both in first instance and on appeal, but the 57-year-old remained in the U.S. nonetheless.

The latest round began in December 2008, when the deportation order was suspended pending a new asylum bid. Judge Shapiro did not issue a ruling last week, and attorneys have 30 days to file written closing briefs. The hearing may be continued on May 25 if there is no decision before then.

The case has come under fire from immigration reform proponents, such as Ira Mehlman of the Federation for American Immigration Reform, who said it is symptomatic of what is wrong with the U.S. asylum adjudication process.

"Her case is all too typical, where you have people who have had countless bites at the apple, continuing to press appeal after appeal…and never actually being removed from the country," he said, quoted by OneNewsNow.com.

Mehlman added that this only encourages immigrants to abuse America’s asylum policies.

A spokesperson for Obama said the president is not involved in any aspect of the case.

"This is a legal issue, and the president strongly believes that the law should be followed by everyone," press secretary Robert Gibbs told reporters last week, quoted by CNN.

  • BooHoo

    It would appear she has leverage. No one would believe an accident, and further investigations Kenya-side would then develop, like with the bro in the village hut. All someone has to do is give that bro some help in getting here, and he can backup his father’s sister’s claim that Obama was born in Kenya. Heck bring ‘em all over and let Obama twist in the wind they would cause. Safety in numbers and they all would confirm Obama’s birth in Kenya… EVEN his Indonesian relatives (by marriage of his mom to the Indonesian) – offer them the red carpet to America. Put them all together and let them start Kenyan Pride organizations that will give them income and let them setup statues of Obama in Kenya and put that statue back up in Indonesia. Give Obama a lot of publicity, and help his relatives TELL THE WORLD THE TRUTH NOW. It’s gonna come out anyway, and they will all look like goofs and dunces and cowards and enablers of a liar if they don’t come out and tell all. So, it’s their heritage that is at stake, not just Obama’s personal situation. THE TRUTH SHALL MAKE YOU FREE… TELL IT NOW. AND BRING ALL OF OBAMA’S KENYAN AND INDONESIAN RELATIVES TO THE GOOD OL USofA AND GIVE THEM A MICROPHONE.

    • duckmd1

      I agree, Boohoo, but do you think that any of NOBAMA’s relitives who would pose even a “little” threat, would make it to the States alive?? Not! NObama has spent over $2 million hiding ALL of his records, people who investigate this and speak out about his past are dying faster than the people connected to Clinton’s past–what is their body count so far?
      Not one of “our” spineless, scumsucking, “elected officials” will even address this problem–not now that he (obama) has been in office for over a year!! What would people think of them for not “vetting” him before he was sworn in?? OH MY!! That is why the whole world is laughing at us, and now we are so indebt to China, Germany, the European Pact that they can and will dictate what we do as a “power” in the current world affairs!! Be afraid! Be VERY afraid!
      As far as the Aunt goes—well she goes–give her a row boat (with a hole in the bottom) and a weeks worth of food and water (maybe another food stamp card, maybe Cuba takes them if she can make it that far)! And close the boarders to all illegals, NO ammnisty! Look up the penalties for illegals in China, Turkey, Iran, etc. They do not have a problem with “illegals”!

  • Joel Kruskie

    What ever is said, B.O. still stinks!

  • http://Yahoo haraldr

    if that was me,(or You) we would be long gone.

  • Merv Baer

    If that is the Aunt who stated that B. Obama was born in Kenya it seems that the good folks (aka Birthers) should rally to her aid and get her statement into prominent circulation.
    Fox News could do this easily.
    Should she be proven correct she would be the ‘Smoking Gu’ needed to chuck B.O out of the Whitehouse.
    Her reward for this should be U.S. Citizenship

  • Texas Grandma

    I’m not a “Birther”,but if Oboma has nothing to hide,why not put every piece of paper showing that he is(?) a legal natural born citizen and is legal to be president,on the internet(you know the media that got him elected)?

    Why hasn’t he or his “people” done that? Because he is illegal and his gang of liers,thugs and thiefs know it! Why hasn’t the “Media” interviewed his Aunt? What are they afraid of?
    Maybe it’s THE TRUTH!

    • G-Ma Terry

      I throughly agree… He has a lot to hide.. Open up the Hospital Records where he “says” he was birthed… His original certificate (required by law)has never been produced showing that he is a bonified U.S. Citizen…All that has been produced is a Faxed copy… Not acceptable for anyone else, why is it acceptable for him ??? and his Aunt has been here more than long enough.. Get her off our tax rolls and send her back from whence she came.. Send all illegals back and get them off our payroll…. G-Ma Terry from Florida USA…

  • Carl

    If Auntie Z was being paid by a community organizer to keep quiet about his birthplace, he could win the race for the White House via US Senate!

  • http://zoomtown.com CHARLIE

    Since when is Obama so concerned with the law as he hasnt followed it yet…His law….Why not with the ilegals? Of course thats votes for him where his Aunt cast only one…He speaks with a forked tongue and anyone with commom sense knows this….mind you I said those with commom sense… Wake up people ,,get your back bone back and start insisting the constitution be followed….

  • http://victorbarney@embarqmail.com Victor L Barney

    If we actually checked his “papers,” President Obama probably would be deported with his “paternal” (Father’s sister) aunt Zeituni Onyango!

  • marilyn

    Unfortuniately the illegal aliens are not only here to stay but the chosen ones such as the Mexicans are going to be legalized, even as they have committed many crimes. Why? because they are needed for votes, over and above the objections of the American people. Nancy Palosi gave them ten million dollars in the fall of 08,for lawyers as was said by Sen.Peter King of N.Y. Thousands of Americans have died at the hands of these people beyond the drug cartell, and yet they keep being rewarded.

  • Mark from Baton Rouge

    I did not vote for him, whats his name?, he even lost Louisiana big time where the population is 45% black. Send them both home without a parachute. We are becoming a communist nation because of him we deserve what we get for not thinking and knowing how to vote. We are the laughing stock of the world…now more than ever.

  • Boo T

    His aunt is just one of hundreds, if not thousands, of people who want to live here, because we are the greatest nation on earth. And if her own nephew would learn to believe that then maybe we could make some real progress (not progressive). If you don’t know who you are and where you come from, you can create any kind of reality you want. Scary, huh?

    • http://victorbarney@embarqmail.com Victor L Barney

      Yes, but it doesn’t mean that she is eligible to be President!

  • Fed Up

    Send them BOTH back to Kenya where they were born. They can move into the shack with “Scary Barry’s” brother!

  • TILIYEAH

    who paid for the wheel chair, plus her medical,her rent,..food stamps..we the tax payer..enough is enough…are we to support the world as ombama has indecated..spread the wealth..meaning take my hard earned money and give to the ONYANGO’S OF THE THIS WORLD.SEND HER BACK..who is paying for lawyers court cost this in only one of thousands.. AND THE PRES SHOULD PAY FOR HER FLIGHT BACK.
    WAKE UP AMERICA WE HAVE BEEN HAD.

    I say..to all immagrants welcome to america, after you have legal rights and medical proof of no T.B, AIDS, OR ANY COMMUNICABLE SICKNESES…WITHOUT EXPECTATION OF FREE HOUSING, FOOD STAMPS, OR 3% INTERST RATES, WHILE WE AMERICANS PPAY 10% OR THE GOING RATE.

    • http://Don'thaveone Sally

      I agree however, Obummer lifted the ban on HIV positive people. They can now come into the States.

      • JC

        Yeah it’s open season…on “us”.

  • http://yahoo.com Jack from Seadrift

    Let obama take care of his “OWN” family! Move the “Aunt” into the SAME House that (He) lives in. And while your at it, bring his Brother in from “Kenya” also. Let’s put them all in the Same house. Or even better.let’s just put them “ALL” back in Kenya, where they came from?

    • Edward O’D

      Just DEPORT! I would really be unhappy with a “known” ILLEGAL ALIEN living in the White House. I am more than a little disturbed that there already is one living there who refuses to provide a real birth certificate rather than the certificate of live birth which Hawaii officials have already admitted any foreign child can get.

      After deporting the aunt Obama should be required to re-imburse all agencies who have expended monies providing food, shelter, and housing for his ILLEGAL ALIEN aunt.

      • Joe H.

        Edward,
        the problem is he would try to pay with taxpayer monies!!!

  • Mary

    He was voted into office, wasn’t he? Somebody voted for him. I just hope they don’t do it again in 2012.

  • http://bellsouth.net.Yahoo.com Douglas G. Waite

    Can anyone who happens to fall over this article please explain to me why this has been going on since sometine in 2004? Let me guess, six years of wasted taxpayer money-due to bull—t the lawers have made up–of course confoeming to the current laws of the good ol’ U.S.A.. Makes me wonder how long this would have taken in 1945? The whole damn govt. is comperised of lawers who have muniplated the system to allow them to leagle away from whatever ills they might commit! At the very least they should be replaced in the next election. (I prefer impeachement & public stoning). Alas who the hell cares what the average (volinteer militry) dumb-ass wandering the st. thinks? I would like th thank anyone who at least bothered to read the article! Says at least your head is not burried in the sand! Guess what? I tried to print & the whole damn thing is blackes out. ANYONE??????

  • maverick2

    Check out the wheel chair act too. It’s probably another conjob.

  • Pat Case

    WHY HAS THE 2004 ORDER NOT BEEN FULFILLED???? DEPORT HER AND HIM!!!!! We are all sick and tired of supporting these illegals in America. He (O)did not come to her aid early on so why should we taxpayers. That is why our ss and medicare,medicaid has diminished. Keeping up these dead beats.

  • Deidre H

    Again, I agree with Joe H.
    I also agree with William Nealey on this.

  • Cel

    This is why we have so many illegals in America. I for one am sick of supporting these people with my tax money. “google” entitlements and see where your tax money go. This should make all hard working American mad.

    It is time our Government stepped up to the plate and “booted” them all out…………….

    Obama included.

    ***

    • FRED LARSON

      WHAT GOVERNMENT?? THEY ARE ALL COMMUNISTS IN WASHINGTON…

      SEND BOTHE THE ILLEGALS BACK WHERE THEY BELONG..

    • Susan

      Right Cel,
      Many Illegals take USA jobs. Guess who is help building BAMC hospital on FT Sam TX. Ur illegals!! Govt’ can pay them $10 cheaper than hiring a USA citizen that is trained to do the job.
      Govt’ is USA #1 enemy.
      Vote them all out!!!

      • JC

        Amen Sister!

  • Joe H.

    Deport her! Treat her just like any illegal alien. The fact that she is the aunt of the President should not enter the picture!!!

    • John

      Too Bad that we couldn’t deport obama too!

      • Franciso

        EXCELLENT COMMENT…………wish we could too.

    • Al Spiker

      Put her in a small rowboat and push it out to sea!

      • JC

        Al that’s just cruel…don’t send her alone, send her nephew with her. ;)

  • William Nealey

    if you truely think gibbs is telling the truth about obummer not having anything to do with her case then you still beleive in the easter bunny, she should have been gone long ago. and of course the taxpayers are footing the bills for everything pertaining to her up keep and will continue to do so as long as we keep voting in the incumbant trash we currently have in washington,

    • Alton Robinson

      I wonder how much the gov is giving her, I would bet just about any amount that she is getting almost twice as much as some one that has worked all their life and paid into the system.

  • Inga Hughes

    Isn’t she the aunt that assures he was born in Kenya?

    • http://victorbarney@embarqmail.com Victor L Barney

      Doubtlessly!

    • Michael J.

      Inga Hughes,
      No, that was his Kenyan grandmother who died shortly after her remarks of mysterious causes. Hmmmm, makes you wonder.

    • JC

      I had a friend in Kenya send me a picture. It’s taken on a highway entering Kenya. It says “Welcome to Kenya…Birthplace of Barack Obama” and no, it’s not photo shopped.

  • http://msn BARRY RUBECK

    Who picks up the tab for all these appeals? The tax payer? She is in public housing so I assume we are paying for all of these appeals.

    • Danny

      How many BILLIONS are spent on WELFARE for non citizens?? Obama wants to spend another half Billon on US lawyers for War Crime Folks. Dump Obama, his aunt and all those libs so loose with the Tax Payers hard earned money.

      • kathy

        I came across this just a couple of days ago. Pleasantly surprised to see action in progress.

        http://www.impeachobamacampaign.com

        Maybe this will awaken the arrogant ego-maniacal Communist & his Wife!
        I would love nothing more than to see their tales tucked as they are kicked out of the White House.

  • http://personallibertynewsdesk denny friend

    send then both back that is where they were born.

    • Doozie

      When Obama was elected we still did not know where he was born. To my knowledge, we still don’t. NO BIRTH CERTIFICATE has ever been published as far as I have seen. What I want to know is, how did he even get into Congress without producing a birth certificate. This is the way I feel, If he can’t show the American People that he was born in the United States he should be yanked out of the White House and sent back to Kenya. If he was born in the US then he is eligible to serve as our President. The fact that he won’t publically produce this “Birth Certificate tells me that he has alot of skeletons in his closet. The People didn’t vote him in per say. The Electral College voted him in. The illegal voting registration of ACORN and other groups such as them made sure the “People” voted for him. If they counted all the votes that were illegally manifested, he would not be our president. If this Administration even gets through to the 2012 elections, We the PEOPLE have to stand up and do something about it. This means in the 2010 House Elections, WE can do something about it. So let’s get out there PEOPLE, and JUST DO IT. It ain’t gonna get no better, so we have to change Congress and the Senate. I’m not saying put the same old Republican back in. Let’s get some new blood in that house of NitWits.

      • Doozie

        And, If I may, you can say what you want about Bush, but our problems with the Economy did not start until the House on the Hill was taken over by Dems…….

      • ScouterKen

        Doozie, you are correct about the fact the economy was doing fine BEFORE the Dems.. took over the congress with their outrages taxes.

        On the other hand I know firsthand experience that if a US Citizen is living outside the United States and has a child that child immediately gets citizenship. My kids have, a “Counsular Report of Birth Abroad of a Citizen of the United States of America.” (Just because I took a job working overseas don’t mean I gave up my rights or my children’s rights to US Citizenship.)

        Unless, Obama’s slutty Mama gave up her citizenship, he has the same rights as if he was born in the United States.

        I don’t know why he never showed a Birth Certificate or at least a proof of citizenship like the one I mentioned.

        I do know that George Romney was allowed to run for president in 1968 and he showed his proof of citizenship. He was born in Mexico and there was no problem.

      • Barb

        The way I understand the argument is Oabama’s Mama was only 17 and barely that when she had him in Kenya. In order to be classified a citizen of the US having a baby outside the US you must be of adult legal age which is 18! Therefore he is not a US citizen! If I were him I’ wouldn’t show my birth certificate either and I would make sure my grandma in Hawaii didn’t suffer if you get my drift!

      • Clarence

        Not quite right, Scouter … if an individual is born outside the United States that persons parents must BOTH be citizens of this Country for he or she to be eligible to be President. That is not the case with Obama.

      • libertytrain

        Clarence: from a Constitution site -
        “natural-born citizen
        “Who is a natural-born citizen? Who, in other words, is a citizen at birth, such that that person can be a President someday?
        “The 14th Amendment defines citizenship this way: “All persons born or naturalized in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States and of the State wherein they reside.” But even this does not get specific enough. As usual, the Constitution provides the framework for the law, but it is the law that fills in the gaps.
        Currently, Title 8 of the U.S. Code fills in those gaps. Section 1401 defines the following as people who are “citizens of the United States at birth:”
        * Anyone born inside the United States *
        * Any Indian or Eskimo born in the United States, provided being a citizen of the U.S. does not impair the person’s status as a citizen of the tribe
        * Any one born outside the United States, both of whose parents are citizens of the U.S., as long as one parent has lived in the U.S.
        * Any one born outside the United States, if one parent is a citizen and lived in the U.S. for at least one year and the other parent is a U.S. national
        * Any one born in a U.S. possession, if one parent is a citizen and lived in the U.S. for at least one year
        * Any one found in the U.S. under the age of five, whose parentage cannot be determined, as long as proof of non-citizenship is not provided by age 21
        * Any one born outside the United States, if one parent is an alien and as long as the other parent is a citizen of the U.S. who lived in the U.S. for at least five years (with military and diplomatic service included in this time)
        * A final, historical condition: a person born before 5/24/1934 of an alien father and a U.S. citizen mother who has lived in the U.S.

        * There is an exception in the law — the person must be “subject to the jurisdiction” of the United States. This would exempt the child of a diplomat, for example, from this provision.
        Anyone falling into these categories is considered natural-born, and is eligible to run for President or Vice President. These provisions allow the children of military families to be considered natural-born, for example natural-born citizen

      • Antonieta

        Obama’s mother gave up her U.S. citizenship when she lived in Indonesia after marrying an Indonesian (Obama’s stepfather). At the time, Indonesia was throwing out noncitizens, such as the Dutch who had colonialized that country. In order to get Obama in school, she changed her citizenship to Indonesian and in Obama’s school records, he is registered as an Indonesian citizen. She also had a daughter with that Indonesian and that is Obama’s half sister, Maya. No one ever talks about her and she is one who knows the exact truth as she was probably in school with him.

      • Legion

        Why ScouterKen? He hasn’t shown his birth certificate because his Alinsky’s Rules for Radicals says keep stirring up trouble. McCain was also born in Panama- on a Military Base- the press tried to stir up trouble on that but he immediately gave his papers- and Doctor’s health reports. Zero gave a one pager from his doctor- more mystery. No college records either- hmmmm- did he get a scholarship as a foreign student????

      • Alton Robinson

        Better reread the constitution. What you are referring to is the way Mccain was found to be a citizen, both parents have to be be American citizens. And also the parents should live so many years after their 18th birthday, for that to apply. Bho admits that he used another name when he was adpoted by his stepfather.
        And if you remember or go back and read some of the stories from the chicago newspapers when he was running for senator, he was listed as born in Kenya and he did not deny it then.
        I can’t understand why Mccain was investigated to the fullest about his legal status as citizen, when his father was serving in the military at the time he was born, and both of his parents were citizens.

      • http://Yahoo Dee D

        Doosie you are absolutely correct – it was not Bush Jr’s doing. He was the puppet (too stupid to blow his nose – which I blame his mama and papa for his ignorance as they had the first 5 years to form his personality) that the Republican party and Cheney used for the fall guy.
        The supreme court put him in office, not the people, and he was just a village idiot out of his league. One so simple the rest could dangle him on his strings to do their bidding,

      • Legion

        The only one being dangled is your president pantywaist. Zero is being puppetted by his master George Soros- another Sal Alisky follower. Bush is smart enough to fly fighter jets- you can’t even operate a tricycle- and win TWO elections. He got a BS from Yale and a MBA from Harvard. John Kerry (who got out of Vietnam early because of self inflicted wounds falsely said to be from the enemy) was only a D student! As records released AFTER the election showed. The Supreme Court upheld the states election rules fairly. Unlike in the Minnesota election where Al Franken stole it with trunkloads of ballots in partisan cars.
        You are a real Doozie too- Bush is smart- he just talked folksy- listen to your osama obama Bolshevik Barry talk off teleprompter- hot damn is he a tongue tied idiot babbling away- the press is ‘Just’ starting to ‘notice’ this as his popularity plummets to the high 30′s-

      • Captain

        Dee D You need to take a deep cleansing breath. Your heart is so filled with hate, it permeates through your opinions and thoughts.

Who do you think “helped” them to do this? Why ,caring staff ofcourse! How do you think these mentally impaired folks voted? Well the answer is in the WhiteHouse.
