Obama's aunt back in Boston for deportation hearing

I think this woman should be deported because she is simply an illegal immigrant, there is nothing different from here than the many other illegal immigrants. Nonetheless it will be hard for Obama because she is family

Auntie Zeituni needs to leave just like anyone else who was staying here illegally. And her case should be open to public eye just like anyone else's. If she stays, Obama is just a hypocrite. Our tax dollars at work...subsidized housing for illegal aliens.

bye bye auntie. don't worry, we'll spend the money on other moochers - legal moochers this time.

I am an unemployed citizen. Can I get the apartment?

Why should some distantly related person be given preferential treatment above the currently long list of US citizens in need of subsidized housing? I think the state of MA should sue Auntie for the money it spent on her illegal housing swindling. Accountability...Obama certainly talks a good show but when the tire hits the road, where is he? She is as close a relative as his father was. Rolling stone....

come on Maria. the truth hurts. print my politically incorrect comments.

This is a no-brainer. We can not throw out of the country the aunt of a sitting president where she is likely to be killed or tortured by enemies of the US. Get real!

ADIOS!

The fact that she is having to go to court and face possible deportation is the ONLY thing left to make me believe Wall Street darling and Thief in Chief Barack Obama is not hopelessly corrupt.

simply pathetic; what more can one say.

Apparently BamBam is not his "aunt's" keeper.

Hypocrite.

How did she get public housing if she was illegal?

another "hardship case" that's been here illegally for years, sponged of us, and will undoubtedly get asylum from the sub-primate suckups to our supreme idiot in chief.

can we at least ship her off to cleveland?

Everyone in this country is an immigrant and/or a descendant of an immigrant except for the original Indians - i hope the judge realizes that and grant Ms Zeituni a stay in this great Nation of USA.

So now we have secret courts. Say goodbye to America, folks.

Please President OBAMA ... After Tens of thousands of Nicaraguans, Hondurans, Salvadorans and others whose countries have been hit by war, earthquakes and hurricanes have routinely been granted protected status ( TPS ) ; Why Haiti not cualified for TPS after Four tropical storms pummeled the country last summer. Hundreds died and hundreds of thousands lost their homes as the storms washed away roads, bridges, and crops?

I would imagine that there was some sort of documentation process when she moved into public houseing. Would'nt she at least have to be a resident of Massachusetts? Therefore maybe she should be allowed to stay in the county, sending her back would cause choas, seeing that she certainly could be a person of interest for criminals, but she should be taken out of public houseing. She can stay with her family back in Clevland.

just one question ,how do these people who are illegal GET MY TAX money and all the things that should be for the people that have the right to it . have you ever try to get anything if you work keep on because you can drop dead before you get help I'm, crossing over and than just will pretend not to speak English . but we the working class are to quiet so let it be it /i don't care president or not auntie should go back home illegal is illegal .

she can stay if we can deport Dubya.

BOSTON GLOBE WROTE "Zeituni Onyango, a tall, frail-looking woman in her late 50s who walks with a cane, "

Oh come on already with the sympathy nonsense. This woman has milked this country dry, broke campaign contribution laws, and who knows what else. Deport her and send a message. Allow her to stay and we will have 100,000 more just like her that we cannot afford.

STOP THE INSANITY.

Shes here Illegally deport her ! and anyone else in the US.
She is takin up public housing that legal folks could use

Who are we kidding??? In the end, somehow, some way, she will be allowed to stay in the U.S.

ONYANGO NED TO GO BACK TO KENYA SHE IS ILLEGAL HRE IN THE U S A . IMMIGRATION NED TO SEND HER BACK HOME SHE IS HERE ILLEGAL OBAMA NEED TO TELL HER THAT .LINDA

What if a veteran needed a home, would she give up her tax-payer funded apartment to an American who fought for the country? She said to reporters" Stop wasting my time" when they wanted an interview. Arrogant.

Guess I'm not surprised to see such inflammatory comments from people posting to a Boston-area web site.

She is not the only one here illegally,if they were to sent home all the people that are here illegally the country would be empty,if she have a good lawyer she cant grant asylum she needs to stay were she is.A lot of people here in this country that dont have any papers and you dont see these kind of public expose i think because she is the president 's aunt thats why

Some of you people are nutty, Milked the U.S dry?! Save your indignation for teh fat cats who have ACTUALLY bled the country of its financial stability. The fact is, the woman will probably be deported regardless of whether she has a legitimate claim, because Obama's people will see the P.R nightmare it will be if she stays. Fox News et al will bleet for months, maybe years about it. It will crop up at re-election. They won't let it happen.

But seriously, some of you are just being plain mean-spirited. Your worst day is 100 times the best day of billions of people living in 3rd world countries. Perhaps those of us living in comparative luxury should speak with a little more compassion.

She and how many others are here illegally. At least said what you really want to say. Get rid of her because she is black and because we have a black president. It's time for some of you to wake the hell up. Stop showing your igorance!!

I am a Naturalized Us Citizen. However, judging from 99.9% of the comments on this issue, it is crystal clear that the vast majority of folks posting comments does NOT have a clue or understand immigration laws and how things work. Once an individual have documentation showing LEGAL entry into the United States up on or close to the Expiration of their visa or time granted to stay in the us, that individual can file for an extension or adjustment of status; Not because they want to, but because current immigration laws allow it. When a Cuban fled Cuba ILLEGAL as hell with NO Papers, under the DRY FOOT WET FOOT Policy, the moment this ILLEGAL Cuban foot touches any DRY US land, that Illegal Cuban is instantly process and given a Permanent Resident (GREEN) Card to reside PERMANENTLY In The United States. On the other hand, when a Haitian flee Haiti under Tougher inhumane conditions, they are immediately send back NO Questions Asked. Why The Double Standard??

The country voted Obama HUSSEIN in as our President. I hope he does the opposite of past and actually follows through with his speeches to get votes. He has always said what people want to hear to get where he wanted. Well it worked again. He's in office. OUR Troops home HAHHHH ... yep he brought em home alright to send em off to Afghanistan. The same worn out troops who have served this country with crap pay, suffer mind and body life alterering injuries and can't get the medical care they need. The spouses, kids who lost moms or dads to war that get kicked out on to the streets from housing befoer the grass even has a chance to grow on top their graves. WHO CARES ABOUT ONE OLD WOMAN , CHRIST THEIR ARE MORE IMPORTANT THINGS TO BE CONCERNED WITH.

She wasn't conspiring , she just needed a frigin roof over her head in a country
where she can live w/o fear. Leave her alone. This country has much bigger issues.

White Americans have forgotten about the potato famine, war in europe, the catholic church, and a host of other events that lead to immigration 3 or 4 Generations ago.

Some people get so wrapped in what they perceive as "fair" that they lose sight of reality. To many people his Aunt is his Aunt, not a distant relative. Family extends beyond the folks you grew up in the house with in our world of extended family.

She is the presidents aunt, and based on that the US has an interest in keeping her here safe and sound.

All those illegal russians, latin americans, mexicians and hsipanics need to be deported also. not only obama's aunt who happens to be black. what about those clannish nasty indians. they needs to go back to india. these are that same people begging the the anglo saxon people to stay along with the other non colored races but a black person should be deported out of the millions of other illegal groups in the usa. the person who asked that haiti should be included. Haitian should remain in haiti and seek aid to rebuild their country why leave stay and make a difference. stop begging and crying to live in the states when you are desperately needed in haiti

Get rid of ALL OF THEM. My County is going broke housing, feeding, educating their kids and providing medical care for them. I don't give a hoot about Obama's aunt. Ship her off with the rest of them. If not, then change the laws, take away all border protection and allow anyone to walk right in. I'm sick and tired of this 'legal vs. illegal' babble. If I, as a fourth generation American, do something illegal, I will be prosecuted. If someone with absolutely no roots in this country does somethig illegal, they will be sheltered, glorified and aided by various groups funded by MY tax dollars.

Everyone in this country is NOT the descendant of immigrants! Descendants of slaves such as Irish SLAVES, Chinese SLAVES and African SLAVES are NOT immigrants! She is an ILLEGAL immigrant and should be deported immediately!

She needs to stay. If she is sent back she may be kidnapped and held as a hostage, tell me that does not effect or affect you if a relative is kidnapped because of your job.. It is now a matter of national security that she remainds here.

Here's a question: in order to get the public housing did this woman use a fake social security number? Did Obama's aunt commit identify theft?

Grow up! She is the President aunt for pete sakes! Its going to cost us more money if something should happen to her.

who cares? Obama doesnt care IF HE DID HE WOULD HAVE STEPPED IN. U all are giving her more attention. NOW DID U HEAR ABOUT THE $43MILLION DIVORCE IN CT (CONNECTICUIT). If BERNIE MADOFF can stay in his 7MIL apt while waiting why shouldn't she? (yea now i know bernie is locked up but he was free for a while)

SOME OF YOU PEOPLE ARE SO RUDE.............DO ALL OF YOU REALIZE THE WE ARE ALL IMMIGRANTS IN ONE WAY OR ANOTHER.. THIS MAKES NO SENSE IF A PERSON NEED HELP YOU HELP REGUARDLESS OF WHERE THEY ARE FROM ...IF THE SHOE WAS ON THE OTHER FOOT ...I BET YOU WOULD NOT THINK THE WAY YOU DO..........AND IF SHE HAS PUBLIC HOSUING..... THEN IMMIGRATION KNEW SHE WAS HERE..............EVERYTHING THAT GOES ON IN THIS COUNTRY THE GOVERNMENT KNOWS THERE IS NOTHING THAT IS A SECRET DONT EVER FORGET THAT !

From what I've read/heard there are over 100,000 illegals aliens living in government subsidized housing in this country. This has got to stop and his aunt needs to go back to where she came from (send her to an undisclosed location). I recall Obama (when she was outed and living in subsidized housing in Boston) saying if she broke the law they should deport her. I for one am sick and tired of supporting illegals -- ship them to where they came from. My neighborhood (part of Boston) has been invaded by illegals -- they don't assimilate and they don't want to learn English. To the ones that want to give carte blanche to the illegals come to East Boston and you'll see what illegal immigration can do to a community -- it used to be a clean and beautiful part of Boston -- but has been ravaged by illegals.

I swear people always feel that they have to blame Obama for everything...The man hasn't been president a year, yet everything Bush's corrupt a@@ did is falling back on Obama. You guys need to get a life and blame the REAL person for the issues that's going on in America...To me this is a no win situation for Obama no matter what happens. If she get's deported, Obama will he a hypocrite for not standing up for his Aunt. If she get's to stay Obama will be the bad guy because you all are complaining about Tax Payers dollars. Why won't you all go and blog about your boy Bush for putting the ecomony in the state that it's in now and please just admit that you are all sour about having a BLACK yes I said it BLACK COMMANDER IN CHIEF. You all really need to start blaming the person who is causing all of this, and it is NOT Obama...This man has done more in his first few months than Bush did in his whole 8 years. It's like you can't take a black man who is actually smarter than most white people and escpecially smarter than that dumb a@@ no talking president George W. Bush

"This is a no-brainer. We can not throw out of the country the aunt of a sitting president where she is likely to be killed or tortured by enemies of the US. Get real!"

Get real yourself. By your reasoning, we should all Obama's many Kenyan relatives (turns out he has some Irish ones, too, on his mother's side-do they get to come?) here because they "might be" killed or torturned by enemies of the U.S Are we going to provide them all with Secret Service protection HERE (at taxpayer expense, of course). After all, they're more likely to get harmed here by random street crime than by enemies of the U.S. in their own country.

Aunt Zeituni is NOT AN IMMIGRANT. She is an illegal alien who has received due process twice and thumbed her nose at it, and us, because she didn't like the outcome. Now, she gets a third try because her nephew's the President. As for the original Indians, they weren't so "original", but crossed to this continent from Asia over a land bridge. But so what if our ancestors were immigrants or if some of them were even illegal aliens? How does that excuse breaking the law NOW? If my grandfather had been an embezzler or a thief, would that make it OK for me, 100 years later, to do the same and expect to get away with it?

Barry Soetoro will find a way to let her stay, on our dime of course. He will not deport any illegal alien as it would then apply to him as an illegal alien Indonesian or Kenyan citizen. He will introduce amnesty later this year as he needs all the illegal aliens legalized as he can before the 2012 election, that's his only chance of re-election. To him they are not illegal aliens, but rather undocumented democrats.

Stop drinking the Kool-Aid Obama Baby. It is obvious that you are fixated on Obama's race and not his borderline communist policies. And to your analysis that this whole economic situation is solely the result of eight years of former President Bush, then perhaps you need to do a little research on the Glass-Steagall Act, Community Reinvestment Act, Frank, Dodd, Reid, etc a little more there sunshine. Please stop playing the race card as well. That has nothing to do with Obama's clearly evident incompetence as Commander in Chief and is a typical calling card for the left to avoid the real issues.

And some of you should realize that not everyone from Africa or a Third World country has it all that bad, or if they do, it's because of their own choosing and that of their countrypeople. For example, Obama's father returned to Kenya after getting a graduate degree in economics from Harvard in the hope of being a "big man" in Kenya's government. There are elites even in Third World countries. India, for example, has an affluent middle class about equal to the ENTIRE population of the U.S. The trappings may be different (servants instead of dishwashers and clothes washers) but they're still middle class.

I hope they do the right thing and deport her...to many people are trying to get in legally and it would'nt be fair one tiny bit to let her stay.

She meant so much to him that he claims he didn't even know she'd been in this country (illegally) for several years. His family means so much to him that his half-brother lives in poverty in Kenya. If any of them mean so much to him, he can pay for their upkeep IN KENYA.

IF she is Payng her taxes just like any lawful american citizen she should stay if she works and is helping towards todays economic crisis why she shouldnt she be given a chance to stay there are alot of people here in this country thats a citizen here and is wasting time there just taking up space while others in countries is willing to come here for a better oppurtunity and make use of it so if she is paying her taxes and is a working class she should stay because its not fair for immigrants or immigrants who comes here from there kids and being thrown out of the country for there parents mistakes or anyone elses and those who are payin taxes and doing what they are suppose to be doin what she's doing Brack obama is not a hypocrite he has all right to help a fmily member out because if it was yall in the situationhe wouldnt be a hypocrite then because you want him to help yall out so to all immigrants out there fight for whatever you want and remember our preident is Black and Afraican cheers to change!!!!!!!

WHY DOES IT TAKE SO LONG TO ENFORCE ILLEGAL IMMIGRATION LAWS IN THE U.S.A. ? I BET NO OTHER COUNTRY HAS THIS PROBLEM? WHY WHY DOESTHE U.S.A.? FIRST OF ALL GET HER OUT OF TAXPAYER SUPPORTED PUBLIC HOUSING. IF NOTHING ELSE SEND HER TO LIVE WITH OBAMA? AMERICA AND AMERICANS DONT EVEN KNOW IF HES LEGAL CITIZEN OR NOT? AMERICAS HAVE TO FORCE ENFORCEMENT OF ILLEGAL IMMIGRATION LAWS. THE SENATE WONT THE WHITE HOUSE WONT AND MOST CITY OFFICIALS WONT BECAUSE OF MONEY AND FUNDING MATTERS THANKS

There is a saying in the immigration game: "The alien plays the system until he wins." Fradulent marriage and asylum claims are two of the most well-played scams. Add that to the fact that the ranks of the immigration- court judges are filled with fomer immigration lawyers from the open-borders American IImmigration Lawyers Association, and you should me able to guess how this otherwise ope-and-shut case will play out. Any be

Send Auntie and the other 20 million illegal aliens in this country back to wherever they came from. They are ILLEGAL. If she stays, what about the rest of his African family and the relatives of relatives of relatives? I read his father had 3 wives. What about his family from Indonesia? Should we just let them all stay if they can sneak in? Then what about the illegals from other countries? Shouldn't they be able to stay? Wouldn't it be discrimination if we sent them back just because they weren't a member of Obama's family? Let's get real. THE LAW IS THE LAW - your feelings have no say in it. Send her home to Kenya. If she means so much to Obama, let him buy her a house and support her in KENYA.

You can get a apartment too.. if you not scared to live in the housing projects?
so unless you willing to live in the housing projects... shut your mouth citizen

Her case is more serious because she has ignored a previous deportation order. She just refused to leave. Once a person is ordered deported and in the system, that situation is rarely reversed, especially if the person has no source of income. Those immigration raids last year were all based on the government going out to get people who had already been ordered to leave.

She'll get special treatment. I really doubt they would deport a relative of a sitting President. If she does get to stay, Obama should suport her financially.

Not only this one non-citizen Kenyan should be deported, and the laws of the United States constitution respected, but all non-citizen Kenyans who reside or work here outside the law should be removed. In fact, everyone who cannot produce proper lawful identification of birthright or lawful presence should be removed. That is the law of this nation. Those who are against these laws, are against this nation.

HMMM. Wonder how she got housing could it be her little nephew used is senae power and acorn and rezco and... to many to list to get her into housing for the american people to foot the bill if wanted people to beleive in his change she should have been gone by his doing not letting proceedings go on behind closed doors you know she aint goin nowhere no and it will be all his medeling that keeps her here so no one finds out he to is illegal!!!

As I read all the comments, it amazes me how so many people are more concerned with President Obama being incompetent and less about the issue at hand. Maybe if you all would stop being so damn prejudice and read the actual case you would know it isn't about him, it's about her! Ignorance is such bliss. Most of you guys are such flaming idiots. Wake up, no matter how much you attack him, the truth remains, he is still "COMMANDER IN CHIEF", deal with it!

Obama, thewre are millions of people from all other countries who are living here that are illegal and the American constitution has taken nothing buty money from them by crooked lawyers. There are people who has lived in the United States for over 15 years and still is fighting to get their citizenship. I believe that if anyone live here in our country past 15 to 20 years deserve the rights of citizenship and it should not cost them thousands of dollars either. There are people with families and has raised their kids here in our country and arent citizens yet. But they are scare to even apply because of fear of deportation. Give these people a break. You have hsipanics that are illegal and are commiting crime daily in our country, you have people from Syria and Iraq who have visas and is given the right to live on a green card as an american citizen, Is that really fair? They pay no taxes either. This lady has cause our country no harm and has done no one evil. Let her stay

I think OUR President OBAMA is staying out of this situation only because he knows that this country still has racial problem and the news reports will have a field day with this mess only because they are waiting for him to mess up. Basically, I think that this is a free damn country and if people or coming over here to better they lives then so be it. For the person who left a comment about obama need to stick to what he said during his campaign to get people votes. In case you haven't notice that's all he's been doing tryin to clean up what BUSH messed up. Yet you people can't see that because you to busy tryin' to put him down. I think if he wants to help his aunt that is just fine because if anyone of us was in his shoes we will do anything to keep our aunt in this country.

So glad I don't live or have anything to do with the city of Boston. What a nasty set of people you are.

The President's aunt is much less a crimainal than George Bush and Dick Cheney. Yet these repulsive conservative idiots feel as if we should forget their crimes against humanity and the constitution and move forward. What these repugs have cost this country with their misguided values is incalcuble. This woman is the Aunt of the sitting President. If Scooter Libby can recieve a pardon for revealing the name of a CIA agent, which is treason,why not this woman who desires only to avoid torture in her country?
REPUBLICANS ARE THE REAL ALIENS.

Wow! I never knew Boston could be full of bigots, haters and lynchers. I strongly believe you guys are not the children of the Irish immigrants who once had to face the mobs at the revolutionary era just because they were immigrants. I used to think MA is the place for liberal minds who appreciate humanity. Hope, i'm not wrong.

you all should look within your consciences and ask yourself how you will be judged.We are all trying to crucify this women because she,s trying to live.Who amongst you would choose to die if there is a way to live.Leave her alone! The bad blood that some of you are spewing is un american and self centered.Whatever happened to people,s hearts.You are blaming people for hating Americans meanwhile they are reacting t the HATE Americans are showing to the world.For petes sake, we are all humans trying to live better and there,s no need crushing humans in our quest to do so.READ SOME HISTORY, dummies

WELL,, I HAPPEN to know some of the back story. It seems that the woman had a lawyer who was supposed to be working on her status--and he dropped the ball. The family and friends were paying him--and he did nothing. That's how she missed her court dates. They have since hired this woman lawyer who is evidently highly regarded and highly capable.

I strongly believe she should be able to stay and given legal paperwork to do so. We all just want to be able to live a good life. Its easy for people to send others back when they are born here and doesnt understand what actually happens when that person does go back. They dont have a life back in their country or family. Most comments on here are ignorant and heartless. It contracdicts everything America should stand for. America is a land of opportunity. It shouldnt deport people back who are just trying to have a better life.

There seems to be quite a few members of the Obama family sponging off the social services in Europe as well...what a diaspora

Shame on all of you, you know very well that you are all immigrates. None of you would last one second in the presences of God. Thank You Sandra77. I lived in the USA from Feb. 1957 until Mar. 2004. I was born 29 March 1956. Since my Deportation I truly do not ever want to live in the USA again even though all my family including parents are alive and well, living in the USA, I have no desire to set foot on blood land again except to see my mothers last days on earth. No, I don't want any part of the USA. And don't think in your heart that I've commit a greater crime than you have, because I haven't.

All illegals should be deported or their supporters charged for the cost of keeping them on the public tax dollar.

Leave her alone! Be truthful to yourself... Would you deport your own aunt if you were the President?

SOM E OF U PPL R SO INGNORANT. WHY DOES WHEN SOMEONE IN PLACE OF POWER FAMILY IS INVOLVED IN SO TYPE OF ISSUE, WE AUTOMATICALLY JUMP TO CONCLUSIONS? WHY? DO WE NOT HAVE OUR OWN ISSUES THAT ARE MORE IMPORTANT? AND WHO SAID THAT OBAMA WAS GOING TO TRY TO KEEP HER IN THIS COUNTRY? THE PPL THAT NEED TO REALLY WORRY ABOUT THAT WOMAN IS HER. HOW ABOUT FOCUSING ON THE ILLEGALS THAT HAVE BEEN HERE FOR YEARS AND ACTUALLY CONTRIBUTED TO OUR NATION AND ARE DEPORTED, WITHOUT A FAIR TRIAL. OR WHEN PRIOR PRESIDENT(S) SENT ALL THE RELATIVES OF TERRIORISTS BACK TO THEIR COUNTRIES TO SAVE THEM FROM PERSICUTION. OR HOW WE ARE A NATION THAT MAKES OUR OWN DOLLAR AND WE ARE TRILLIONS IN THE HOLE. QUESTION THAT, NOT SOMEONE WHO HASN,T EVEN SAID ANYTHING ABOUT THE ISSUE YOUR SO WORRIED OVER.

I am APALLED at the hatred, zenophobia and just plain ignorance shown by the majority of these posters. You should be ashamed to call yourselves Americans.

Would you all do that to your aunt, I am African American and if my aunt was in Africa, OR ANY OTHER COUNTRY SHE DID NOT WANT TO BE then she will have the right to do as she pleases THIS IS AMERICA PEOPLE . NO ONE SAID ANYTHING TO YOU WHITE PEOPLE WHEN YOU STOLE THE INDIANS LAND YEARS AGO DID THEY.

It's interesting that this is even being discussed? How is she any different than some of the lazy US citizens that are in this country? If taxpayers want to complain, complain about the citizens who refuse to get a job and live off of the government. Complain about all the benefits that they receive for not working, while you're at work busting your tail trying to make ends meet. Most "illegal immigrants" work twice as hard as U.S.citizens, because they're usually supporting those they left behind. They take the jobs that us as Americans feel we're too good to take. And contrary to the beliefs of many, this is not an Obama issue. This woman was in this situation prior to him becoming President, so stop making this an Obama issue.

You people are so cruel, You need to take a look at your history. Rich America set it's own self up for failure. If you go to any other country, the people STICK TOGETHER. If you really cared about were ya tax money is going, bush would have never been in office for 8 yrs. I hope they do let his aunt stay, why not? This has been going on for years. Of course they are going to try to link any thing to Obama to try to make him look bad, because he is Black. I bet all the people who are saying negative thing about this voted for bush & needs to blame there stupidity on Obama.

There are so many illegal russians, latin americans, mexicians and hsipanics need to be deported too. I dont think it is fair to target just one person.

Deport the illegal immigrant NOW! And, force Obama to show the long version of his birth certificate so the American people can decide if he was actually born in American and or constitutionally able to become president.

IMPEACH OBAMA !!!

If she is deported to Kenya she probably will be subjected to a very very severe hardship not ruling out persecution. She comes from a partof Kenya that is still very volatile politically. I do not know her case but i think Her life might be in danger when she returns to Kenya. If You remember Less than 2 yrs ago Kenya had all sorts of problems. Those sentments are still running wild. Her life is safer here with her nephew the president.

IF OBAMA'S MOTHER IS A US CITIZEN THEN OBAMA IS A US CITIZEN BY BIRTH FROM THE MOMENT HE WAS BORN REGARDLESS OF WHERE HE WAS BORN

Everyone sounds so corrupt,,it unbelievable,,Obama is not responsible for his aunt being in the united states illegal,she is just his aunt, he didnt bring her here,,im preety sure he's smart enough not to get involved in the judicial case, i wouldnt and i'm no rocket scientist.

How many of you really know anything about her "illigal status"? As all of you pointed out, this is a civilized nation of laws. She should be afforded due proccess like everyone else. We spend billions helping nations, even those that hate our guts, because we are at heart a compassionate people. So what's wrong with lending this woman, whoever she is, a helping hand in her time of need? It's not like she is using tax money to dine in 5 star restaurants and luxuriates in penthouse suites.

I can't believe that the Boston Housing office did not turn her apt over to a US citizen who deserves it since November...........
She is an Illegal who the US court system ordered he deported 4 years ago!!!
Is this the same US Justice system that Obama has a license to practice law with???
This is clearly a person who we do not want in the Country........One who disobeys the law and courts.

We should demand Justice be served..........If she can defy a court as an illegal, than I guess that means everyone else can too!!!

The President should be ashamed of this and should have had her sent back home...............If she gets free and is allowed to remain here, the president and our court system will loose credibility in the eyes of the world.

I feel that President Obama's aunt should be allowed to remain in the United States. She realizes the danger in returning to Kenya. Many of you need to think, would you want one of your loved ones deported, or would you yourself want to be deported in a circumstance like this? If you believe in God and all that He stands for, then you would stand up for the right thing. Fast and pray for Obama's aunt as well as for Obama himself. He was made Commander-in-Chief for a reason. It's obvious that he's a gifted and intelligent man. Let's forget the color of his skin and stand behind him. He needs our support.

Send her back! She was declined assylum in 2004 and ordered out of the country then! It is not fair to the people who want to enter this country fairly, who file papers and wait on waiting list and enter their names in lotteries. They do things the RIGHT way and then come here and actually WORK and PAY TAXES. Meanwhile, Auntie cheats and gets in and DOES NOT PAY TAXES and lives in subsidized housing. She also gave $260 to Obama's campaign (I always thought only citizens could contribute by law?). She can afford to makecampaign contributions but not to pay her own rent? She also has no job!

It may or may not seem fair, but once Barack was elected, she was all set.

Would definitely be a career limiting move for someone in INS to deport her.
In the end, she gets citizenship regardless of what some low-level functionary does.

Sure, let Aunt Zeituni stay and work through the system. After all, are we not allowing Obama to serve as POTUS even though he himself stated in his own book that he does not qualify as "natural-born" as our constitution requires? His own "birth cert" shows that both his parents were not US Citizens, a fundamental prerequisite for natural-born status, as anticipated by John Jay when he suggested that requirement for the Presidency. Or is there something else?

Well if she must get deported any money she has put into social security must be returned to her as well as all the millions of people who has worked with a legal social security number. If you look int the social security guide lines you will see that people who get deported cannot get their money they put into social security, so who keeps that money? Fight for your money aunt obama

Maybe she could live in the big white house with bama, michie, michies mom and the girls
