Obama’s Aunt Has Deportation Order Outstanding?

As trumpeted by Drudge:

Barack Obama’s aunt, a Kenyan woman who has been quietly living in public housing in Boston, is in the United States illegally after an immigration judge rejected her request for asylum four years ago, The Associated Press has learned.

Zeituni Onyango, 56, referred to as "Aunti Zeituni" in Obama’s memoir, was instructed to leave the United States by a U.S. immigration judge who denied her asylum request, a person familiar with the matter told the AP late Friday. This person spoke on condition of anonymity because no one was authorized to discuss Onyango’s case.

Note to Drudge and the GOP: “October surprises” are usually best delivered in October.  If I’m not mistaken, it’s expected that half of this year’s voters will have voted early.

Had this revelation come to light earlier, it could have influenced some voters, and/or invited a constructive debate on immigration policy and the size of our undocumented immigrant population.
