AND THEN HE TOOK HER ILLEGAL FOREIGN CONTRIBUTION$ AMONG MILLION$ OF OTHERS

And Now He Says He Will Be Hiding From the Press Until Wednesday!

The Washington Post:

The Department of Homeland Security is investigating whether its privacy policy was violated after a news organization reported that an aunt of Democratic presidential nominee Sen. Barack Obama is an illegal immigrant from Kenya, officials said yesterday.

The woman, Zeituni Onyango, 56, lives in a public housing complex in Boston and is the half sister of Obama’s late father, who spent most of his life in Kenya before dying in a car accident in 1982.

The Associated Press reported late Friday that Onyango was denied asylum by an immigration judge and that she was instructed to leave the United States in 2004. The AP cited two unnamed sources, identifying one as a federal law enforcement official.

Federal privacy law restricts U.S. immigration agencies from disclosing information about citizens and permanent residents, and DHS policy similarly limits disclosures about the status of legal and illegal immigrants. Asylum-seekers are granted greater protection, because of the sensitive nature of their claims and the risks of retaliation. …

After Obama’s campaign announced yesterday morning that it will refund a small number of contributions made by Onyango, two government officials confirmed that Onyango had sought asylum, citing violence in her native Kenya. One federal law enforcement official confirmed that a federal administrative judge ruled in 2004 she was not legally entitled to be in the United States and that a final order was entered for her deportation.

While such denials can be appealed, cases are generally decided within a year or two, according to federal statistics. Of about 12 million illegal immigrants estimated to be in the United States, about 550,000 are “fugitive aliens” staying in violation of deportation orders.

Reports filed with the Federal Election Commission show Onyango gave Obama’s campaign a total of $265, including several contributions of $5 and $25. The latest recorded contribution, of $5, was on Sept. 19. Only U.S. citizens and legal permanent residents, known as green cardholders, can legally contribute to federal presidential campaigns.

“Given the information that has been brought to our attention, the contributions are being refunded,” said Ben LaBolt, an Obama campaign spokesman. “Senator Obama has no knowledge of her status but obviously believes that any and all appropriate laws be followed.”

Mark Salter, a McCain adviser, called the issue “a family matter.”

It sure is. Aunt Zeituni is claiming asylum from the violence caused by one nephew and negligently abetted by another.

WTC prosecutor Andy McCarthy explains here.

When Obama’s cousin, Communist Raila Odinga, lost the Kenyan election, he ordered his Islamist allies to burn churches until he was given some power. Obama went to Kenya in 2006 and campaiged with his cousin. Obama alone was horribly surprised when a Communist started killing people. It was his first solo foreign policy flight, and he crashed and burned disastrously.

The Post is trying to spin this as a campaign dirty trick, but the real story is Obama’s massive foreign fundraising operation, in which foreigners try to buy us a president. His aunt’s contributions are but the tiniest tip of a titanic, massive money-iceberg

And it’s about Obama’s horrible political judgement, unwittingly assisting a Communist thug, albeit a relative, who committed Ethnic Cleansing.

His Aunt Zeituni was forced to vote against Obama’s dangerous policies with her feet.

We should vote against them, too.
