Obama’s Aunt On the Lam

This looks like a good opportunity to get the candidates’ stances on immigration policy

Barack Obama’s aunt, revealed this week to be dwelling in a Boston slum, is living in the United States illegally, refusing to leave the U.S. for her Kenyan homeland when a judge rejected her request for asylum four years ago, the Associated Press is reporting.

A person familiar with the case told AP that 56-year-old Zeituni Onyango was told to leave America by a U.S. immigration judge in 2004.

Does Obama support his aunt violating the deportation order, living in the U.S. illegally, and siphoning off American resources (she obviously isn’t contributing)? 

UPDATE: As Power Line points out…

Ms. Onyango was found living in run-down Boston public housing, though she has enough money to have contributed $260 to Obama’s campaign.

Um… it’s illegal for foreign nationals to contribute to a presidential campaign.
