"Auntie Zeituni" first visited the United States in 1975, about the time Pres. Obama was 14 years old. She traveled back and forth between the U.S. and Kenya a number of times, and according to her, there may be a few more lost relatives living illegally in the U.S..
In 2002, Zeituni Onyango requested political asylum from violence in Kenya and applied for, and received, public housing in Boston also. She was ordered deported in 2004, the year a federal judge denied her asylum application, but remained in the country. Reporters from the Times of London tracked Onyango to Massachusetts shortly before the 2008 election.
She was given an immigration hearing In early April 2009. But for whatever reason, it was decided that she will get to stay her until her next immigration hearing in February 2010.
Obama didn't know his aunt was in U.S. illegally; but stated that all laws should be followed when he was questioned about her.
Well..... he knows now....
Here illegally; lived in taxpayer-funded public housing since 2002; ordered deported in 2003 and again in 2004; moved to Ohio in 2008; went to Obama Inaugaration in 2009; now back in Boston.
I don't think the political asylum thing will work because when your nephew is a powerful man, with nuclear weapons; would a government want to antagonize him?
But her 'visit' here is the same as most illegal immigrants - come and visit and then stay. Do you think that a government that can't drive illegal immigrants back across the border is going to spring for a plane ticket to Kenya?????
