WOULD ILLEGAL ALIEN ONYANGO OBAMA HAVE BEEN GRANTED LEGAL RESIDENCY IF HIS NEPHEW WERE NOT PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES?

Onyango Obama, who has lived in this country illegally nearly 50 years, was granted legal residency Tuesday by a federal judge in Boston.

Onyango is an uncle of President Obama. He is the half-brother of the president’s late father. He came to this country from Kenya in 1963 on a student visa. He did not return to Kenya when the visa expired. He has also ignored several deportation orders.

Onyango told U.S. Judge Leonard Shapiro that he has been a hard worker, paid income tax and was arrested only once. When asked about any family in the U.S., he told the judge he has a sister and two nieces, and “I do have a nephew.” When Judge Shapiro, who obviously knew the identity of the nephew, asked Onyango to name him, he replied, “Barack Obama ….. He’s the president of the United States.”

I do not have a problem with Onyango being granted legal residency even though he ignored several deportation orders while living here illegally for nearly 50 years. He has been a productive resident of this country and paid his taxes. However, I wonder if he were not Barack Obama’s uncle, would the judge have been as generous. Somehow, I doubt it.

During the hearing, Onyango said under oath that in the 1980s his nephew lived with him for three weeks at his apartment in Cambridge, Mass. Last year the White House issued a statement that President Obama had never met his uncle. But on Thursday, the Liar-in-Chief admitted that he had stayed at Onyango Obama’s apartment when he prepared to enter Harvard Law School.
