"Obama says he wasn't aware of aunt's immigration status" by Scott Helman and Eric Moskowitz, Globe Staff | November 2, 2008
Aides to Senator Barack Obama confirmed yesterday that the Illinois senator has had some contact with his aunt in Boston in recent years, but they said he was not aware that she was reportedly in the country illegally.
The Associated Press reported that Obama's 56-year-old aunt, Zeituni Onyango, who has been living in a South Boston public housing complex, had contributed $260 to Obama's presidential bid in small installments, but with federal law prohibiting foreigners from contributing to political candidates, his campaign said it would return the money.
WTF?
Onyango attended Obama's swearing-in after he was elected to the US Senate in 2004. Obama last heard from her about two years ago, when she called to say she was in Boston, according to his campaign. Onyango is paid a small stipend for working as a health advocate in her housing complex.
?????? No jobs like that for Americans, but for the illegals....?
The Boston Housing Authority, which oversees subsidized housing developments in the city, said yesterday that residents who apply for federally funded housing must prove their legal citizenship or residency, but those applying for state-funded public housing do not.
And yet I need ID in triplicate and a butt probe?
When Onyango applied in 2002 for public housing, her asylum request was pending so she was an eligible noncitizen, said Bill McGonagle, deputy director of the housing authority. The authority was not notified by the Department of Homeland Security that her asylum request had been rejected, and does not track immigration status on its own, McGonagle said. Onyango, who moved into the federally subsidized Old Colony complex in South Boston in 2003, moved to the West Broadway complex this year after requesting a transfer for medical reasons.
Because West Broadway is state-funded, McGonagle said, her immigration status may not matter. "I'm not sure this will, or should, affect her tenancy," he said. "I don't believe it is the housing authority's responsibility to enforce federal immigration laws."
A spokesman for state Department of Housing and Community Development said last night that as a result of 1977 federal consent decree, the state cannot deny state-subsidized public housing to illegal immigrants.
But YOU can be FORECLOSED UPON, Amurkn!!!
The AP said the deportation case was confirmed by two sources, including a federal law enforcement official, but said it could not establish whether there was any political motivation involved in disclosing the information. Democrat John Conyers, chairman of the House Judiciary Committee, sent a letter yesterday to Homeland Security chief Michael Chertoff asking him to investigate the leak.
The AP also reported that Onyango's case had prompted an unusual directive within US Immigrations and Customs Enforcement requiring that any deportations before Election Day be approved at least at the level of the agency's regional directors. "I think people are suspicious about stories that surface in the last 72 hours of a national campaign," said Obama's chief campaign strategist David Axelrod. --more--"
Unfortunately -- because of the incessant MSM lying and agenda-pushing, I'm skeptical of just about evrything these days.
