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.

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

    Also, I like the “it’s all small contributions to the Obama campaign” like that we have been hearing - she gave 3 donations @ $5, 2 @ $25, etc until it totaled $260.

    Ms. Onyango was found living in run-down Boston public housing,

    Eligible non-citizens can live in public housing. Noneligible non-citizens can not live in public housing.  Considering that she is under a deportation order, I doubt that she is an eligible to receive housing assistance.

  2. Does she get food stamps? welfare benefits? free health care ? with all the government benefits, she will never leave.  Obama will not offer to support his Aunt. Lets the taxes payers support her.( money that could be used for people here legally and for American citizens is being used for her)
