Obama On Aunt: 'Laws Have To Be Obeyed'
(11/3/2008)
"If I come as an immigrant, you have the obligation to make me a citizen." Those are the words from 58-year-old Zeituni Onyango of Kenya in a recent exclusive interview with WBZ-TV.
Onyango is the aunt of President Barack Obama. She lived in the United States illegally for years, receiving public assistance in Boston.
'I KNEW I OVERSTAYED'
Aunt Zeituni, as she has come to be known, first surfaced in the public light in 2008, in the final days of the Presidential election. Then-candidate Obama said that he was not against the possible deportation of his aunt. "If she has violated laws, then those laws have to be obeyed," he told CBS's Katie Couric. "We are a nation of laws."
Onyango had violated the law, and she knew it.
"I knew I had overstayed" she told WBZ-TV's Jonathan Elias when the two sat down one-on-one.
ASSIGNED PUBLIC HOUSING
Zeituni Onyango said she came to the United States in 2000 and had every intention of leaving. Then, however, she says she got deathly ill and was hospitalized. When she recovered, she said she was broke and couldn't afford to leave.
For two years Onyango said she lived in a homeless shelter, before she was assigned public housing despite thousands of legal residents also awaiting assistance. "I didn't take any advantage of the system. The system took advantage of me."
"I didn't ask for it; they gave it to me. Ask your system. I didn't create it or vote for it. Go and ask your system," she said unapologetically.
And she's right. The system provided her assistance despite her status as an illegal immigrant.
ORDERED TO LEAVE THE COUNTRY
In 2004 a judge ordered Zeituni Onyango out of the country, but she never left. She stayed, hiding in plain sight. In 2005 she attended her nephew's swearing in as the junior Senator of Illinois. In 2008 she was invited to, and traveled to D.C. for President Obama's inauguration.
However her nephew, she says, never pulled any strings for her.
"Listen. Obama did not know my whereabouts."
'HEAVEN' PAYS HER BILLS
Onyango hired a top immigration lawyer from Cleveland to help fight her case. We asked how she afforded that lawyer, when she claimed poverty.
"When you believe in Jesus Christ and almighty God, my help comes from heaven," she responded.
'PUBLIC ENEMY NUMBER ONE'
When asked about cutting in line ahead of those who have paid into the system she answered plainly, "I don't mind. You can take that house. I will be on the street with the homeless."
"To me America's dream became America's worst nightmare," she said adamantly. "I have been treated like public enemy number one."
GRANTED ASYLUM
She is still living in South Boston public housing, unemployed, and collecting about $700 a month in disability, she says. And now, Zeituni Onlyango is in this country legally.
In May 2010, Onyango's case went back before the same judge who ordered her out of the country in 2004. This time she was granted asylum in the United States. The ruling said a return to Kenya might put Onyango in danger.
Did her nephew, the President of the United States influence that immigration judge? "No influence at all, from nobody, from nowhere," Onyango said.
Watch the second part of Jonathan Elias's exclusive interview with Zeituni Onyango Tuesday night at 11 p.m., on WBZ-TV.

Godfather.
as the godfather (in the movie) said, "a man who does not take care of his family is not a man"......
"Well, you tell him that I don't talk to suckas."
So you would have no problem if say a president gave his brother a job over others who may be better qualified because "a man who does not take care of his family is not a man" think about that
"Well, you tell him that I don't talk to suckas."
What is wrong with that is that Obama is not calling as a regular person, he is calling as the President. I for one would be pissed if i was following the rules to enter the country and i have been waiting and here i see another person gets in because the President of the country got her in. that is nepotism.
"Obama helps his Aunt become a US Citizen"
or
"Obama refuses to help is own family"
pick one...either way, the man can't win...
it sounds like the guy who won the lottery and all the sudden he has relatives coming out of the wood work.
Godfather.
i don't think i have ever seen you say anything positive about obama
lets remember this line when a republican does something similar.
i am not basing Obama at all and your right he can't win if he attacks this as i am helping my family but lets say he comes up with a plan for immigration then its not "I'm helping my aunt, I'm helping all immigrants"
true I suppose but I do call it like I see it or feel it and in this situation with his aunt I feel for him.
Godfather.
come on now, we both know you're basing obama over this...as for the rest of your post, I have no idea what you are saying...
i would love to see a republican with an illegal immigrant aunt[/quote]
thats not the point. the question is should a President do something for 1 person and not everyone.
good point...that f-er better get me Xmas gift...you know, if he gets one for Michelle, he better damn well get me one...
case in point, the vice president of our hospital just yesterday called our office to get his wife in for a same day appointment at the end of the day for a problem that has been going on for 3 months and we fit her in and stayed late even though it was a monumental pain in the ass, but fortunately or unfortunately important people get stroked and that is how it is...
"Well, you tell him that I don't talk to suckas."
no not bashing him at all. all of my posts have been about one line that gimme said which was basically a man should help his family or he not a man. that scary for me because it leads to unfairness and corruption when you have alot of power.
sorry about the rest of the post was on the phone at the same time.
hopefully that a joke because if its not it sad.
I know that how it is but that doesn't mean it the right thing.
than i am sorry to say but the aunt has to wait then. nothing comes easy when your the president and I know Obama understands that.
funny thing is, i bet if she was some relative who didn't like obama and was happy to criticize him at every given opportunity, the Republicans would be falling over themselves to get to her with promises of shit loads of cash and guess speaker spots at Tea Party events.
hail hail Zeituni Onyango. i can just imagine it. she would be the darling of fox news and Sarah Palin's best friend.
they would be more than happy to have her in the Country then. illegal or not.
i shit you not.
Maybe but maybe not.
ok whilst i dont believe any one is an illegal alien i dont believe obama has any obligation to make his aunt a citizen based purely on blood.
take a good look
this could be the day
hold my hand
lie beside me
i just need to say
The Godfather was a crook......
Obama is not taking care of her the tax payers are......yet Obama is loaded but still does not take care of his family....
"I didn't take any advantage of the system. The system took advantage of me."
"I didn't ask for it; they gave it to me. Ask your system. I didn't create it or vote for it. Go and ask your system," she said unapologetically.
Well she had to fill out papaer work to get tax payer money so she did ask for it
"If I come as an immigrant, you have the obligation to make me a citizen."
Her additude is what struck me as odd.....Americans owe her? How did she come up with this.
The Godfather was also a character in a movie..this is real life.
she seems to have the same attitude a lot of illegals have "let me in ..you owe me !"
Godfather.
What pisses me off is her attitude that we owe her something and taxpayers are the ones paying for her ungrateful ass. :x There are thousands of people like her that are here illegally and think that we are somehow obligated to give them the same rights that we have . It's obvious that Obama had some strings pulled. I mean what do you expect he's the president and favors like these are a common thing in politics. I do find it funny that she says that Jesus is paying her bills for her. :roll:
you can pick your friends, and even pick your friends nose if they let you...but you can't pick your family...
we all have characters in our family tree...she happens to be quite the character...
