Obama's Aunt Onyango An Illegal Alien - Disregards U.S. Laws

Obama's Aunt Onyango Did Not Leave As Instructed
- Entered On Tourist Visa And Never Left...

Barack Obama did not know a relative was living in the United States illegally for the past nearly four years prior to today's Associated Press report, "but obviously believes that any and all appropriate laws be followed," the campaign said Saturday in a statement.

The Democratic nominee last heard from Zeituni Onyango, who attended his swearing-in ceremony to the U.S. Senate in 2005 and is a half-sister of Obama's late father, two years ago, when she called to say she was in Boston, the campaign said. Campaign officials said they did not assist her in getting a tourist visa and had not known that she was living in America.

Aunt Refuses To Leave - Asylum Request Denied

A person familiar with Onyango's immigration status told the AP Friday that she "was instructed to leave the United States by a U.S. immigration judge who denied her asylum request... Onyango's refusal to leave the country would represent an administrative, non-criminal violation of U.S. immigration law, meaning such cases are handled outside the criminal court system. Estimates vary, but many experts believe there are more than 10 million such immigrants in the United States.

"Information about the deportation case was disclosed and confirmed by two separate sources, one of them a federal law enforcement official," the AP reported. "The information they made available is known to officials in the federal government, but the AP could not establish whether anyone at a political level in the Bush administration or in the McCain campaign had been involved in its release."
