BOSTON -- President Barack Obama's African aunt is going before an immigration judge for a second time to argue she should be allowed to stay in the United States.

Kenya native Zeituni Onyango is scheduled to appear Thursday in U.S. Immigration Court in Boston.

Onyango moved to the United States in 2000. Her first asylum request was rejected. She was ordered deported in 2004. But she didn't leave the country and continued to live in public housing in Boston.

Her status as an illegal immigrant was revealed just days before Obama was elected.

Obama says he didn't know his aunt was living in the country illegally. He says laws covering the situation should be followed.

A judge agreed to reopen the asylum case.

Poster Comment:

"She was ordered deported in 2004. But she didn't leave the country and continued to live in public housing in Boston."

Obama's aunt has disregarded a deportation decision from a JUDGE and continued to live ILLEGALLY in this country for 6 years on the US TAXPAYERS' DIME. How many of us could ignore a judge and live happily ever after without paying a cent for our upkeep?

Aren't Obama and the missus multi-millionaires?

So how come they are not financially on the hook re: Obama's aunt while she waits her 2nd court appearance to challenge the deportation order?

Why are we paying for the upkeep of this Kenyan illegal when Obama has previously admitted that she is his aunt? She is not our financial responsibility. She is her family's financial burden.

This is ridiculous. Don't the people at INS have any common sense? This moocher should have been forcibly put on a one-way flight to Kenya 6 years ago. "Asylum" my foot - since when has Kenya become a hot bed of political persecution?

Here's your Obama upstanding family link. Lying must be an inherited disease for him and for her.

I notice he is not pulling any string for her to stay and is letting the legal system relating to this take it's course.

I don't see any big controversy here. I mean, if he shows deference and helps, he would be wrong. And he might even endanger his extended family when bad people take the cue he is pulling strings and helping any of them.

I mean, because of this, I don't see him ever visiting his father's homeland again until after he exits the White House for security reasons.

His aunt is not a citizen here and likely will go back. President Obama on the other hand was born in Hawaii and is the head of the Executive Branch of the U.S. Government. He is going nowhere and should not have his citizenship questioned.

That is a dumb game that has no traction and that I never cared for.

Yeah,that's why she was allowed to keep drawing welfare checks and living in public housing,and then moved to another state and put up there with a high-powered lawyer sitting in the wings to defend her and act as her spokescritter.

Hell,she even managed to come up with enough money and the invitation to attend the inaugural .

I'm sorry, I like the guy, and I don't apologize for it. The personal level stuff doesn't matter to me, and it sounds like a level of relationship that breaks no laws and is not hurting anyone.

I am more concerned with the harpy he appointed to the DEA and other things he does that annoys me. I expected him to call for nuclear power if elected and I was not surprised when he did, and I oppose him on this.

I have a higher comfort level with President Obama then I did with Bush, and he so far is pretty much what expected to see. I see him working a learning curve in the job now, and see him moving toward the center as the elections get near, and he'll really do a Bill Clinton in movement if he sees the House become Republican controlled in November, though I don't expect to see this happen.

I do actually appreciate your perspectives, even when I do not agree, otherwise I would not be reading you here. Hey, if I am wrong and he really loses it, I'll live with having made an error.

All of us have been wrong in our opinions on things on these boards, it's just usually no one admite to it when this happens,

Are you kidding?

This "personal stuff" involves Obama's dear auntie who btw he referenced in his autobiography - she's not a 8 degree removed cousin he doesn't know very well. Obama's auntie is a lawbreaker multiple times - immigration laws and ignoring a Judge's court decision - and he knew about it and did ZERO to encourage to get her freeloading as* back to Kenya where she belonged and was ordered to go.

As for your comment that this "personal stuff" was not hurting anyone - really? - what about hurting the US taxpayer who has supported this Medicaid Freeloading Welfare Queen for all these years and despite the fact that the Courts ordered her deportation in 2004?

The President is the highest elected officer in the USA, a nation that abides by rule of law, or so we rubes are told. By tolerating his dear auntie's lawless behavior, Obama is basically telling us that he and his family members are above the laws that everyone else in the USA is obliged to follow. Why doesn't that bother you?

And furthermore, as a columnist for the Boston Herald pointed out in an article published today, this Obama family "personal stuff" that you claim is not hurting anyone [ illegal aliens living off the dole stateside] in fact is hurting Americans greatly.

"...Aunt Zeituni’s case puts the lie to the old canard that all criminal immigrants are here to work. She gets a stipend from a city program, along with her housing. In fact, as the Center for Immigration Studies points out, illegal immigrant households are far more likely to be on the dole than the average American. She also highlights the obvious truth of the Heritage Foundation study that our 12 million illegal immigrants are a $2.2 trillion net drain on the taxpayers over the course of their lifetimes..."

I'm sorry, but the people who hurt the original inhabitants greatly by rubbing them out to destroy the beauty and greatness of the various biomes of this Continent's crisis about immigration is just high comedy to me.

I have even lost work in the woods planting trees sooner then I wanted because of immigration from the south and I still don't give a rip. Not in the very least.

This was paradise before Columbus, it is a nightmare here since then. Our culture has zero respect for the land, it's plants and animals.

Simple enough?

Say what? How are the crimes of Columbus era explorers against Native American Indians relevant to the subject under discussion - ie welfare freeloading illegal immigrants like Auntie Zeituni costing American taxpayers, like you and me, $2.2 TRILLION over their lifetimes?

Postscript: If environment is so important to you, then you should care about the very real deleterious effects of illegal immigration on our environment - excessive pollution, over use of fossil fuels, population congestion, wanton ecological destruction on the southern borders, etc, etc.

Ferret Mike: Propaganda and whinage.

Uh...got it...you are unable to answer my question because your pro-illegal immigration stance is in conflict with your pro-greenie position.

That's fine. Carry on.

Mine is a perspective of motivation for making the mess. Desperate people on the move is different to me than those despoiling out of greed.

It is a perspective of degree, size and scope of damage. On the whole, the mess they make is ugly, but easily cleaned. Not so with pollution, over building and other desecration of the landscape that is deep, persistent and permanently destroys everything.

It is a perspective of why the pollution is publicized. Namely, those publishing the pictures and whining don't give a shit about the pollution, their target is people.

I spent a long time on LP posting in good faith trying to present my belief system, opinions and views honestly in a way that contributed.

I was banned because I dared disagree with Sally that illegal immigration was the horror and crime of the era.

I am so fucking sick of whining and hair shirt fashions, and hate and ignorance in regard to immigration.

Someone does not like Mexicans, fuck them. That is my perspective. Fuck them, I am sick of the idiotic issue.

You're just sick of getting your butt whipped.

Why do you hang around??

Heh, Butt whipped? When did that happen? I don't go into a full bore argumentive modality because the demographic of who posts here. So I never ever feel stomped on.

I like some of the folks in here whether I agree with them or not, and I get perspective here I can't get at DU, Smirking Chimp or KOS.

That quote was from a rare vent post I have not done in here for a long time. I wouldn't take something I wrote late at night when tired with low blood sugar with ferrets out of the ferret run making attack sorties on my bare feet too seriously. I am the fire and forget sort of venter anyway.

;-D

It's still a free country of a sort.
