That might fly if he didn't barrel-butt to Africa to get to know the family and then write two books, making big money off the experiences. He burst into their lives and capitalized on them so if some of them are in trouble, he should help.

But, seriously, if Auntie is here illegally, then he needs to help her resettle back in Kenya.

There are about 15 to 20 million people living in America illegally. About a million of them have applied for asylum. Suddenly one woman becomes front page news. Funny how that happens, isn't it?

A Federal Law was broken by revealing her immigration status and possibly endangering her life should she be deported. In January thousands of people were killed in her native country, while gangs decapitated innocent civilians with machetes. This woman had the unfortunate problem of being related to a candidate running against a desperate party. Not long ago in Kenya, 50 people were burned alive in a church. So your post isn't very "Christian" is it? People apply for asylum all the time, the application is denied and then there's an appeal.

Do I support those who live here illegally? Of course not. But I don't believe we have the entire story and this has nothing to do with the election.

Watta guy!
Obama surely isn't practicing what he preaches. No sharing of the weath in the Obama family.

Stuff that "your post isn't very Christian" crap. There happen to be a large number of political refugees here in my city from Sierra Leone and other countries. They came here LEGALLY and are being helped. We're happy to have them here.

But the waiting list for government housing is very long in most parts of the country. NObama's aunt is taking up a space that an American family or legal resident desperately needs. Auntie NObama isn't just waiting for her asylum application to be processed -- she is wanted by Immigration and needs to face charges.

This is breaking news.
Unless of course you watch CNN or MSNBC.

She is an illegal immigrant living off the public trough.
She also happens to be the aunt that Barack speaks of so wistfully in Dreams From my Father.

By the way Barack Obama has a lot of money. So, why is she living in these circumstance?

He makes $4.2 million a year. I think he could afford to help 3 relatives living in poverty and at least one of them an illegal living off American taxpayers.

Heck, it seems if you make 200K a year you're "rich" Or is that 250K, or 150K? Anyway, by his standards he is far beyond rich, tries to come across as someone who cares about poor people, unless of course it's his own family.
