Looks like Aunt Zeituni attended the Obama inauguration - and even made it to at least one exclusive ball in Washington.
Quoted Text
Obama's aunt was instructed to leave the country four years ago by an immigration judge who rejected her request for asylum from her native Kenya. The East African nation has been fractured by violence in recent years, including a period of two months of bloodshed after December 2007 that killed 1,500 people.
Despite the deportation order, Onyango traveled to Washington last week for her nephew's inauguration. News organizations observed her attending an inaugural ball at Washington's Renaissance Mayflower Hotel, a historic luxury hotel, with her immigration lawyer, Margaret Wong.
there you repubs go again it was the IMMIGRANTS who made the country not you irish or english who think they own it over here like you so SHUT UP and live with the fact that Obama won
I'd have a battle of wits with you Sal but it would be like fighting an unarmed man. The Irish, English, and Dutch were all immigrants too Sal not just the Italians, you must have been absent from school the day that the teacher taught that. The people who settled this country were LEGAL immigrants as opposed to the illegal ones we're talking about.

becareful of the hole we dig.......we will be swallowed up by it.......pay attention.......the rhetoric from the political podiums makes waves and we bend to them........look at where we have been, where we are now and where we are going.........

They were working at a mushroom plant south of Albany when I was doing some work there and 2 weeks after that they were arrested and deported per the Times Union. A second occasion was when I was working in Saratoga and the whole second story of the restaurant was full of bunks where the illegal Chinese immigrants would sleep when not working and they too were deported a couple of years after I was there. There are many illegal aliens working all over this country and many are finally being arrested and deported back to wherever they came from. Let us not forget the illegal immigrant we all saw, Obama's Aunt, who was at the inauguration some of us have been around a lot longer than you have and have seen much more depending on what our jobs were.
I almost forgot while visiting friends in El Cajon California as we were having coffee early one morning we watched a group of illegal Mexican immigrants walk near my friends yard on their way to Las Angelus and from what I was told this is a nightly occurance but that was b4 we stepped up the Border Patrol operations.
There are illegal aliens/immigrants all over this country......however, short of 'stamping' oneself legal, who can tell? Those incidents you have seen some times have to do with human trafficking for cheap labor,,,,and our fellow Americans can/do encourage this......No?
I'm all for deporting when finding....but, to seal the borders and claim that only illegal aliens/immigrants cause all the crime is ridiculous.....that is just fear mongering by both political parties when it suits them at election time.........
...you are a product of your environment, your environment is a product of your priorities, your priorities are a product of you......

There have been quite a few cases where illegal immigrants have been involved in murders and some have committed serious crimes while being involved in gangs. Like everything there are good illegals and there are bad illegals.
1. 40% of all workers in L.A. County ( L.A. County has 10.2 million people) are working for cash and not paying taxes. This was because they are predominantly illegal immigrants, working without a green card.
2. 95% of warrants for murder in Los Angeles are for illegal aliens.

(All the above from the Los Angeles Times)
Less than 2% of illegal aliens are picking our crops, but 29% are on welfare.
Over 70% of the United States ' annual population growth (and over 90% of California , Florida , and New York ) results from immigration.
The cost of immigration to the American taxpayer in 1997 was, (after subtracting taxes immigrants pay), a NET $70 BILLION a year, [Professor Donald Huddle, Rice University ].
The lifetime fiscal impact (taxes paid minus services used) for the average adult Mexican immigrant is a NEGATIVE number.
29% of inmates in federal prisons are illegal aliens.
If they can come to this country to raise hell and demonstrate by the thousands, WHY can't they take charge over the corruption in their own country?
We are a bunch of fools for letting this continue.
THE U.S. VS MEXICO
On February 15, 1998, the U.S. and Mexican soccer teams met at the Los Angeles Coliseum. The crowd was overwhelmingly pro-Mexican even though most lived in this country. They booed during the National Anthem and U.S. flags were held upside down. As the match progressed, supporters of the U.S. team were insulted, pelted with projectiles, punched and spat upon. Beer and trash were thrown at the U.S. players before and after the match. The coach of the U.S. team, Steve Sampson said, "This was the most painful experience I have ever had in this profession."
Did you know that immigrants from Mexico and other non-European countries can come to this country and get preferences in jobs, education, and government contracts? It's called affirmative action or racial privilege. The Emperor of Japan or the President of Mexico could migrate here and immediately be eligible for special rights unavailable for Americans of European descent.
Corporate America has signed on to the idea that minorities and third world immigrants should get special, privileged status. Some examples are Exxon, Texaco, Merrill Lynch, Boeing, Paine Weber, Starbucks and many more.
DID YOU KNOW?
Did you know .. that Mexico regularly intercedes on the side of the defense in criminal cases involving Mexican nationals?
Did you know .. that Mexico has NEVER extradited a Mexican national accused of murder in the U.S. in spite of agreements to do so?
According to the L.A. Times, Orange County , California is home to 275 gangs with 17,000 members, 98% of which are Mexican and Asian.
How's your county doing?
According to a New York Times article dated May 19, 1994 , 20 years after the great influx of legal immigrants from Southeast Asia , 30% are still on welfare compared to 8% of households nationwide. A Wall Street Journal editorial dated December 5, 1994 quotes law enforcement officials as stating that Asian mobsters are the "greatest criminal challenge the country faces." Not bad for a group that is still under 5% of the population.
Is education important to you? Here are the words of a teacher who spent over 20 years in the Los Angeles School system. "Imagine teachers in classes containing 30-40 students of widely varying attention spans and motivation, many of whom aren't fluent in English. Educators seek learning materials likely to reach the majority of students and that means fewer words and math problems and more pictures and multicultural references."
WHEN I WAS YOUNG
I remember hearing about the immigrants that came through Ellis Island .
They wanted to learn English.
They wanted to breathe free.
They wanted to become Americans.
Now, far too many immigrants come here with demands.
They demand to be taught in their own language.
They demand special privileges ... affirmative action.
They demand ethnic studies that glorify their culture.
NOW . WHY CAN'T WE SEND THEM HOME
