    Illegal Alien Uncle of President Obama wins approval to stay in US; faced deportation

    Uncle of President Obama wins approval to stay in US; faced deportation to Kenya

    By Maria Sacchetti / Globe Staff / December 3, 2013

    A federal immigration judge today allowed President Obama’s uncle, Onyango “Omar” Obama, to remain in the United States, following a hearing in which the name of the president was invoked by the 69-year-old Kenyan who has been living here for some 50 years.

    US Immigration Judge Leonard I. Shapiro issued his ruling from the bench. He said he believed Onyango Obama was a gentleman, a good neighbor, paid his taxes, and met the criteria for legal permanent residency, commonly known as a green card.

    “Welcome to America,’’ Shapiro said to Onyango.


    During the hearing, Onyango Obama testified, “I do have a nephew. He’s the president of the United States.”


    He also contradicted the White House’s assertion that the president had never met him. Onyango Obama testified that his nephew lived with him in Cambridge for three weeks while the future president was a student at Harvard Law School in the late 1980s.


    Shapiro based his decision on a federal immigration law that allows people who have lived in the United States since prior to 1972 to apply for residency.


    “Thank you, Your Honor,” Onyango Obama said after Shapiro’s ruling.


    Onyango Obama, with the help of the president’s late father, came to the United States in 1963 from their native Kenya under a student visa, which was renewed before finally expiring in 1970. He has not obtained any other right under US immigration laws since then, but said he obtained a valid Kenyan passport that was renewed a couple of years ago.


    Immigration judges’ rulings obtained by the Globe through the Freedom of Information Act show that Onyango Obama was ordered deported in 1986 and 1989 and then lost his appeal in 1992. The issue of deportation arose again after Onyango Obama was arrested for drunken driving in 2011 in Framingham, where he lived.


    In that case, he admitted that prosecutors had enough evidence to convict him and served a year’s probation, attended an alcohol education class, paid fees, and the case was dismissed, a court official said.


    After his arrest, he allegedly told an officer, “I think I will call the White House.” But Onyango Obama today testified he did not recall saying that to the officer.


    Shapiro is the same immigration judge who approved an asylum request for Onyango Obama’s sister, Zeituni, in 2010. She attended today’s hearing to show her support for her brother and to testify on his behalf, but Shapiro said he did not need to hear from her.

    He was involved in a drunken case.
    The White House said it expected the case to be handled like any other immigration case. Many illegal aliens are deported every single day; why he won't?
    In the drunken driving case, Obama admitted to sufficient facts, meaning he did not plead guilty but acknowledged prosecutors had enough evidence to convict him. A judge continued the case for one year without a finding, saying the charge would be dismissed if Obama did not get arrested again during that time.
    So after a year he can continue drinking and driving? Until he kills somebody.
    Illegal immigration is a serious problem compared to a virus or a plague if we don't fight it on time the consequences would be catastrophic.
