Obama aunt can stay in US until 2010 in asylum bid


-President Barack Obama's aunt will remain in the United States until at least next year as she awaits a chance to make her case before an immigration judge in her bid for asylum from her native Kenya.
-Zeituni Onyangozay had an initial appearance in U.S. Immigration Court in Boston on Wednesday. At the brief hearing, a judge set her case to be heard Feb. 4, 2010.
-Onyango, 56, first applied for asylum in 2002, but her request was rejected and she was ordered deported in 2004. She did not leave the country and continued to live in public housing in Boston.
-Obama has said he did not know his aunt was living here illegally and believes laws covering the situation should be followed.


should she be deported? Yes or No? Her case for asylum was denied previously.

Yea, i kind of have to agree with you there. It wouldn't be fair if she had a presidential pardon over other people......

You would think since she is the presidents aunt they would give her special privaleges like they do all the celeberties, but I guess that is good that they are treating her kind of like a normal person. For the question on if she should be deported, yes I think they should follow what the law says.
