Why is President Barack Obama’s aunt, Zeituni Onyango, an illegal immigrant still here? Well, the Americans for Legal Immigration PAC has filed an arrest request with Immigration and Customs Enforcement and has issued a public demand for President Obama to deport her. According to ALI-PAC, she is currently under a court’s order to leave the country or be deported.
Girlfriend is moving from state to state. She is currently living in Ohio and has vowed to fight against being deported. Four years ago, an immigration judge instructed her to leave the country after her request for asylum from her native Kenya was rejected.
“President Obama has promised the American public that his administration will honor the principles of open government, the Constitution and the Rule of Law,” said William Gheen of ALIPAC. “Obama must either deport his aunt or destroy his own credibility by showing her favoritism.” Source: Boston Channel
You will recall that last year, Onyango was found living in Boston. Obama said then that he didn’t know that one of his relatives was living in the city illegally and believes the appropriate laws should be followed. So, now that we are all on the same wavelength, why is she still here? Did her status change or is she deliberately defying the court? To be honest, nobody would be complaining about her if she was not related to President Obama. Her immigration status would continue to fly under the radar. So, since she is his relative and her situation is common knowledge to all, she needs to go back to Africa and not become an issue for him. The last thing we need is some family drama for the President coming from someone he barely knows.
