Obama's aunt Zeituni Onyango back in court fighting deportation

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

Thursday, February 4th 2010, 9:46 AM

Boston – A hearing on an asylum request by President Barack Obama's African aunt has started in Boston.

Kenya native Zeituni Onyango is arguing Thursday in U.S. Immigration Court that she be allowed to stay in the United States.

Onyango showed up for the hearing in a wheelchair and with a cane across her lap. Lawyer Margaret Wong says Onyango and two doctors are expected to testify. The hearing is closed to the public.

Wong says she is applying for asylum for medical and "other" reasons.

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

Obama says he didn't know his aunt was living in the country illegally and immigration law should be followed.

Obama's Kenyan aunt Zeituni Onyango allowed to stay in U.S. while deportation battle continues

BOSTON - President Obama's Kenyan aunt gets to stay in this country a little longer while her deportation battle continues.

An immigration judge on Thursday heard two hours of testimony from Zeituni Onyango, 57, and gave lawyers until mid-March to file written arguments.

Onyango entered court in a wheelchair with a cane across her lap. She smiled, but didn't speak to reporters. Doctors also spoke on behalf of Onyango, who has said she suffers from Guillain-Barré syndrome.

Obama hasn't intervened for his aunt, who was found living in a housing project here in 2008. She came to the U.S. in 2000 and was ordered out in 2004 after an asylum request was rejected, but she did not leave.

"She really wants to stay in America," said her lawyer, Margaret Wong.

"Credibility in immigration policy can be summed up in one sentence: Those who should get in, get in; those who should be kept out, are kept out; and those who should not be here will be required to leave."

"...for the system to be credible, people actually have to be deported at the end of the process."

US Congresswoman Barbara Jordan (D-TX)

Testimony to the House Immigration Subcommittee, February 24, 1995

Prolly better to live with his half-brother in China - much better living conditions there for the Auntie.

Smoke em if ya got em.

Don't just open your mouth and prove yourself a fool....put it in writing.

It gets harder the more you know. Because the more you find out, the uglier everything seems.

I cannot believe he didn't know that he had an aunt living illegally here in the USA, he's the president of the USA for crying out loud... nobody dug a little into his family's whereabouts and history??

"Family history".... They weren't interested in any part of his history..... that was part of the problem.
