Zeituni Onyango – Obama’s illegal alien aunt back in Boston, “private” court date set for April 1st for deportation

As our tax dollars continue to pay for Hussein Obama’s illegal alien aunt Zeituni Onyango public housing, her court date is set for April 1st. She was last seen partying it up with the others like Obama’s muslim grandmother on January 20th. The Boston Globe has the following article:

President Barack Obama’s aunt, a Kenyan immigrant who ignited controversy last year for living in the United States illegally, has returned to her quiet apartment in a Boston public housing project to prepare for an April 1 deportation hearing that will be closed to the public…

…”The case is unusual in American history because it’s a relative of the president involved in immigration matters,” said Mark Krikorian, executive director of the Washington-based Center for Immigration Studies. “It really does present the White House with an opportunity or a minefield. If they follow through on a decision that she should go home, that would actually raise the president’s credibility enormously on immigration enforcement.”

Obama has said that he has not had any involvement in the case and that it should run its ordinary course, White House spokesman Ben LaBolt said.

Onyango’s fate will play out behind closed doors before Judge Leonard Shapiro in Boston. Onyango’s lawyer, Margaret Wong of Ohio, successfully argued to reopen her case in December and have the proceedings closed to the public, according to the Executive Office for Immigration Review, which oversees immigration courts.

Onyango declined two requests for interviews in recent days, and told a reporter to stop wasting her time.

“I’m not happy,” Onyango said, bundled up in a parka against the spring chill as she went to pick up her mail.

Wong has not responded to repeated requests for comment. But her spokesman told the Cleveland Plain Dealer in January that Onyango would present new evidence to back an asylum claim. Onyango has lost several attempts to fight deportation, said immigration court spokeswoman Elaine Komis. In 2003, a judge ordered her to leave the country, and she lost on appeal. She tried again, but an immigration judge ordered her deported in October 2004. Komis would not confirm whether Onyango had sought asylum before now because, she said, asylum cases are confidential.

Shapiro, an immigration judge since 1990, rejected 68 percent of asylum requests from 2002 to 2007, higher than the state and national averages, according to the Transactional Records Access Clearinghouse at Syracuse University. Asylum seekers must show that they fear persecution based on race, religion, nationality, political opinion, or membership in a social group.

Still, immigration lawyers said she has a chance because she managed to get a hearing.

And why exactly is the hearing closed to the public? Me thinks old Zeituni is gonna get some ‘special’ treatment.

    This is wrong! Why are Obama and Bush allowed to break our laws?
    It is NOT OKAY to provide us with a disclosure of what they have done with tax-money AFTER they do it.
    NO MORE BAILOUTS! I think this is just a big pay-off to lenders who gave out home loans to many Americans and Illegal aliens because the government needed to drive the economy and show some money changing hands. Perhaps I give them too much credit. Although criminal, at least this would make sense.
    Suffice it to say, the other motive for the Bailouts is simply throwing out rewards to large companies who are poorly run.
    Either way, I want MY money back-don’t all of you?
    Now, Obama needs to focus on the legal citizens. You know who I mean, the elderly who worked all their lives and now can’t even afford healthcare.

    Americans deserve a voice on how our taxes are being spent, or at least we should be able to assume our government is obeying the law.

    I believe this story illustrates that Obama is helping to harbor an Illegal Alien. I’m not a legal expert, but I think we all understand the term “ILLEGAL”.

    Wake up America, we need to unite to stop this sort of reckless and illegal behavior in our govenment.

    America was built by pioneering immigrants who came here LEGALLY and contributed to the country.

    I’m pretty sure when we invited the tired, weak and poor to our shores, we didn’t imagine it would become this monststrosity. Certainly we didn’t invite folks to come to America, take our wealth, break our laws and be a leach on the behind of welfare for the American citizens.

    Okay, that was the long road to get to my point…
    Impeach Obama and Every successor to the position of President of the United States of America who harms our country. Do this until we get one who does not break the law and stops squandering our tax money like a teenage girl in a shoe store.
