Color me shocked.
From Michelle Malkin.
America’s systematically refuses to enforce visa requirements, enforce deportation orders and fix our reckless immigration catch-and-release policies.
Obama’s illegal alien, drunk-driving deportation evader uncle, Onyango Omar, is here to stay and Big Labor, Big Business, the open-borders lobby, and both parties are all to blame.
“Barack Obama’s Kenyan-born uncle, who ignored a deportation order more than two decades ago, was granted permission to stay in the U.S. on Tuesday.
Judge Leonard Shapiro made the decision after Onyango Obama, 69, testified that he had lived in the U.S. for 50 years, been a hard worker, paid income tax and been arrested only once.
Asked about his family in the U.S. on Tuesday, he said, “I do have a nephew.” Asked to name the nephew, he said, “Barack Obama, he’s the president of the United States.”
Onyango Obama, the half brother of the president’s late father, has lived in the U.S. since the 1960s. He was ordered to leave the country in 1992, but remained.”
As I have reminded you all repeatedly over the past two decades, Uncle Omar and Obama’s illegal alien Auntie Zeituni are not alone — and you don’t need to be named “Obama” to benefit from our Swiss-cheese system.
BTW, Obama told another whopper involving his Uncle:
In 2011, when the press asked the White House whether President Obama ever met his Uncle Omar, an illegal immigrant living in Boston, a spokesman said there was “no record” of the two ever meeting. Fast forward to yesterday when the Boston Globe’s Maria Sacchetti reports that the two had met – and then some.
Stop. Read. Now. —> After saying they never met Obama acknowledges having lived with his uncle –
Obama’s Aunt Zeituni Onyango, was granted “political asylum” in 2010 after thumbing her nose at our lax immigration enforcement for 8 years:
Onyango was an asylum seeker when she applied for public housing in 2002. She moved into the apartment, run by Massachusetts authorities, after back surgery made walking difficult. A BHA official said that the agency was never notified of a deportation order that had been issued (A 1977 federal consent decree, resulting from a class action lawsuit in Waltham, prohibits state officials from denying public housing to illegal immigrants).Beginning in 2003 she lived in a south Boston public housing project, according to Boston Public Housing Authority (BHA) officials.
……Onyango’s immigration lawyer since 2008, Margaret Wong, stated Onyango could be barred from reentering for up to ten years if she left the US now. Wong stated that Onyango needed to stay for medical care because she could not walk.
Onyango was granted political asylum in 2010. Interviewed for the first time since then, in September 2010, by reporter Jonathan Elias on WBZ-T in Boston, she described living in a homeless shelter for two years in Boston while waiting for her public housing apartment. She said she receives disability checks of up to $700 a month. She made no apologies for overstaying her visa:
“I don’t mind,” she said. “You can take that house. I can be on the streets with homeless people. 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.”
WBZ-TV, September 21, 2010 reported and quoted from the WBZ-TV interview.
Hey, it’s not her fault the immigration laws are ignored and violated repeatedly by local, state, and federal officials who are as feckless as they are corrupt.

I believe that we need to get tougher with illegal aliens.We have over 12,000,000 of them in our country.I have nothing against legal immigration (even though we need a moratorium on immigration).I have a problem with the illegals,because I can’t go into their country illegal.They would round me up and stick me in holding cell and put me on a plane back to America.
Mike,
You should take a look at Mexico’s immigration laws. They’re a hell of a lot tougher.
