Thread: Partying in D.C.:Obama's Illegal Alien Fugitive Aunt

Partying in D.C.: Illegal alien/deportation fugitive Aunti Zeituni Onyango

Well, isn’t this special? After overstaying her visa, ignoring a federal deportation order for years, escaping apprehension in Boston, and taking refuge in Cleveland, the destitute illegal alien aunt of Barack Obama somehow found her way to Washington, D.C., for her nephew’s inauguration.

Federal immigration officials couldn’t find her, but she was spotted by several media outlets and partygoers around the Beltway.

The Cleveland Plain Dealer reported:

Ohio Democrats put aside the state’s financial troubles and cold weather Sunday night to celebrate its part in electing Barack Obama to the White House.

Just a few blocks from Obama’s soon-to-be residence, elected officials, former officeholders, proud volunteers and party activists from the Buckeye State noshed and drank at the Renaissance Mayflower Hotel, a historic luxury hotel…

… One special guest who commanded attention at the party was Zeituni Onyango, 56, Obama’s aunt from Kenya who has been in this country illegally and is getting help in her immigration fight from another ball guest, Cleveland attorney Margaret Wong.

About 900 people, who each paid $300, attended the ball, which was put on by a special committee set up for the event.

It sold corporate sponsorships — ranging from $10,000 to $75,000 — to help underwrite the cost of the ball and related activities. Among the sponsors were Duke Energy, Nationwide, the Ohio Education Association and Penn National Gaming.

The NYTimes, which doesn’t seem to have caught up to the news that Onyango ditched her Boston public housing for sanctuary in Ohio, added:

On Monday, some of Mr. Obama’s Kenyan relatives milled around the lobby of the Mayflower Hotel here, their colorful headscarves earning them more curious glances than even the sports and pop music stars in the room. Zeituni Onyango, the president’s aunt, explained that their family had always been able to absorb newcomers.

Pointing out that her male relatives used to take on multiple wives, she said, “My daddy said anyone coming into my family is my family.â€

We're getting it rubbed in our faces, folks. Special treatment for his "special" aunt.

And this surprises who? Why auntie will probably move from Boston into the white house in the room right next to the mother-in-law. Soon we will be supporting the whole clan.

Guess Aunti has been rescued from under the bus — giving Hope to deportation fugitives across the country that Obama will look the other way at their cases, too.

Don't hold your breath.....on second thought, please do.

What a slap in the face to all people celebrating Obama's ignauration. His aunt needs to be treated like an illegal alien and that means deported like one too. I hope he doesnt plan on having her live in the White House too. I guess the MSM didnt cover this part of the news.

she was ordered deported in 2004 and didnt obey the law.
throw her in jail and then deport her.

there should not be a hearing again in her case because the answer was given in 04.

This is the exact kind of conflict of interest situation the natural born citizenship requirement was hoping to avoid. By allowing an unqualified person to take the office, we got what we deserved.

The free housing she received cost more than $100,000.00. But who's counting? She also got free food, medical, and a job etc. They might as will throw in a pension too.

Shhhhhhhhhhhhhh don't give them any ideas

So Obama is ordering everyone in his administration to take an "ETHICS" class. He should do the ethical and law abiding thing and stop protecting her and other illegal aliens
