Obama's aunt says US obligated to make her citizen

BOSTON - President Barack Obama's aunt, who lived for years illegally in Boston before being granted asylum in May, said the United States has an "obligation" to grant her citizenship.

"If I come as an immigrant, you have the obligation to make me a citizen," Zeituni Onyango told WBZ-TV in an interview that first aired Monday. Onyango came to the U.S. from Kenya in 2000 and was denied asylum by an immigration judge in 2004. She was granted asylum earlier this year by the same judge who said she could be in danger if she returned to her homeland.

She said she had intended to return to Kenya but fell critically ill and was hospitalized. When she was discharged, she was penniless and lived in a homeless shelter for two years.

She told The Associated Press in an exclusive interview last December that she was paralyzed for more than three months because of an autoimmune disorder called Guillain-Barre syndrome and had to learn to walk again.

"To me, America's dream became America's worst nightmare," she told the TV station in her first interview since being granted asylum. It was after her illness, she said, that she was assigned public housing.

"I didn't ask for it; they gave it to me," she said.

She said she resented being used to attack her nephew, who has never intervened in her immigration case. "Don't drag my child into it," she said. She said she feels as if she's been treated as "public enemy No. 1" since her residency status went public.

Onyango, the half sister of Obama's late father, still lives in public housing and collects $700 monthly disability. She doesn't work, but said she volunteers time at the Boys and Girls Club and with the Boston Housing Authority.

Obama
I count the day's until you are out Of the WH you are not fit to Be The President . you & everyone IN the WH are Bad Newes I have watch TV this lady said the right thing & you had a smile On your face

Obama, you and yours have been a plague upon this country since the day you assumed your position in the WH. However, your days are numbered. Tigers eat their young and so do Democrats.

she needs to be deported as well......

THIS COUNTRY IS IN NO WAY OBLIGATED TO MAKE HER A CITIZEN AND, HOW IS SHE COLLECTING $700 A MONTH IN DISABILITY IT WAS BECAUSE OF HER NEPHEW THAT FOR THE FIRST TIME SINCE 1975 THAT THOSE ON SOCIAL SECURITY DIDN'T RECEIVE A COLA AND THERE MIGHT NOT BE ONE ISSUED FOR 2011.

So Americans on Welfare should be angry because she took their share.

She is taking from an American.

Kenya is also mad because she made claims in her asylum case that they were persecuting her and would do her harm.

I think she should be brought up on charges of perjury.
