 Rule of Law: Obama Must Deport His Aunt

The national organization, Americans for Legal Immigration PAC, is
filing an arrest request with Immigration and Customs Enforcement today
and issuing a public demand for President Obama to honor his rhetoric
about the Rule of Law by deporting his aunt Zeituni Onyango.
Zeituni Onyango is an illegal immigrant, who is currently under a
court's order to leave the country or be deported, and has been living
in taxpayer subsidized housing in Boston for five years. She is
currently a fugitive from justice and is staying with friends in
Cleveland vowing to fight against being deported now that her nephew is
President.
"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."
Americans were shocked by recent revelations that President George
Bush issued a secretive executive order prior to the elections
requiring Homeland Security to clear all immigration arrests with the
White House beforehand to assure that Obama's aunt Zeituni Onyango did
not become a political issue during the campaigns.
Obama recently repeated his claims of support for the intrinsic
American principle of the Rule of Law. On January 21, 2009 he stated on
CNN and other national networks, "Let me say this as simply as I can.
Transparency and the Rule of Law will be the touchstones of this
Presidency."
The Rule of Law is a principle considered to be a core concept of
what America stands for. The 'rule of law', in its most basic form, is
the principle that no one is above the law. Thomas Paine stated in his
pamphlet Common Sense (1776): "For as in absolute governments the king
is law, so in free countries the law ought to be king; and there ought
to be no other."
The principle is intended to be a safeguard against arbitrary
governance, whether by a totalitarian leader or by mob rule. Thus, the
rule of law is hostile both to dictatorship and to anarchy.
"Actions speak louder than words, Mr. President," said William
Gheen. "If you do not execute the deportation order for your aunt, then
your lip service about the Rule of Law is no CHANGE from George Bush."
ALIPAC supporters are being asked to contact talk radio shows, the
White House, and Immigration and Customs Enforcement to demand that the
principle of the Rule of Law is restored in America, and that Zeituni
Onyango leave the United States America or face deportation by months
end.
