This is a cautionary tale about three of President Obama’s family members—the president, his “Uncle Omar” (Onyango Obama), and his Aunt Zeituni Onyango. To follow the story completely, readers should be current on President Obama’s administrative amnesty, which he sprung on an unsuspecting and incredulous public just before he departed for Martha’s Vineyard.
Obama and Department of Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano define his new policy, now in effect, as an ICE evaluation of 300,000 cases involving aliens in deportation proceedings to determine whether they are hardened criminals, and therefore a risk to public safety, or “low priority” offenders. The latter are released.
At a speech she delivered at the William Jefferson Clinton Foundation and the University of Arkansas’ Clinton School of Public Service, Napolitano brazenly summarized the revised immigration guidelines as “common sense” wherein “nobody is getting a free pass.”
Actually, the policy is idiotic, harmful, and defies Obama’s sworn Constitutional obligation to uphold the nation’s laws.
Furthermore, for Obama to release illegal aliens just weeks before 9/11′s tenth anniversary is a callous display of indifference to the victims’ families. According to the Center for Immigration Studies, 12 of 48 terrorists involved in the plotting and carrying out of the murderous attacks were illegal aliens. Because of the discreet profile they maintained during the days leading up to 9/11, using the current Obama-Napolitano standards they would have been described as “low priority.”
Ditto for Auntie Zeituni. While Zeituni didn’t pose a criminal threat, she fraudulently tapped into a social services pool that drained scarce public resources.
First ordered deported in 2004 after overstaying a visa issued in 2000, Zeituni lived in public housing, which is supposed to be available only to citizens, and collected $700 in monthly disability checks. But an unidentified benefactor interceded and hired famous immigration lawyer Margaret Wong to represent Zeituni in her efforts to remain in this country. The unsurprising result: a Boston federal judge stayed Zeituni’s deportation order. In 2010, Zeituni was granted political asylum and is now a legal U.S. resident.
Only the most optimistic expect a different result from Uncle Omar’s case. Like his sister, Omar ignored a previously issued federal deportation order and has been living in the country illegally for several years. Wong will represent Omar.
But getting Omar off may be tough. On August 24, Omar — who had an outstanding warrant — was arrested on for driving his SUV through a stop sign and barely missing a police cruiser. Omar’s sobriety test indicated a 0.14 level, nearly twice the maximum. The police charged Omar with driving under the influence, driving to endanger, and failing to use his turn signal. Because of his immigration violations, ICE detained Omar.
Under the new immigration rules, into which category will Omar fall: hardened or low priority? Don’t forget that the ICE language includes allowances for protecting aliens “with family ties.”
Most would argue that Omar, an illegal immigrant, should be deported immediately. While he’s not a convicted axe murderer, Omar is a hazard behind the wheel that may kill someone with his car.
Obama, with his eyes on the polls, can be sure the nation will be watching his uncle’s case. If Omar is still hanging around in November 2012, there’s a good chance Obama may be gone by January 2013.

MORE LIKE A ZOMBIE FROM A HIT MOVIE!
Are these ( hardened criminals, and therefore a risk to public safety, or “low priority” offenders) the only risks that these illegal alien offenders would cause the public? What about increased taxes to support them or taking away jobs that United States Citizens and legal aliens could have had?
The ALL AMERICAN FAMILY ?????????????
You are an idiot ! Time for you to get out of your red neck enviroment and see the real world and all the many types of people that make up the real american family. Once again, you are an idiot !
Obummer doesn't have to worry about his family being killed or harmed by an Illegal Alien. They Protection All around them, of course compliments of the TaxPayer! And he don't have to worry about them taking his job. Well he has no job Never Did. And his girls will never have to worry about getting a job. I so hope they don't take after their Parents….. Freeloaders
The Barack Obama Presidential Library is being drawn up and slated for the year 2013 construction as we speak. Move over Jimmy Carter, we have found your replacement as the worst of the worst.

I guess it just runs in the whole family. To hell with the laws, lets go to the USA & milk it for all we can. Never mind, we are all Illegal Citizens, there are enough Democrat Liberals & some Rhino Republicans who will ignore any wrong that we do. After all they give freebees to Mexican illegals & they send lots of money to foriegn countries that hate them. And they give much money to the United Nations, with over 70% of the members voting against them over 70% of the time. Those Americans are stupid, so lets get in on the milk wagon before they wake yp.
It just keeps getting better with this law-breaking racist!!!
Uncle Onyango doesn't look too happy with Obongo's hand touching him. Come to think of it, neither would I.
It's a photoshopped photo, taken from two different photos. And since the uncle's photo was a mugshot, he probably wasn't overjoyed.
Hmmmm,,,,,,,photoshopped huh? Just like Obama's birth certificate. It runs in the family, Jimbo.
That might make sense if the photo had come from Obama, rather than being created by a birther site to provide evidence of some grand conspiracy. Oh, wait, you're right–they are just alike.
You are an idiot ! Move on.

A better description of these neanderthals is the "ALL Kenyan Family". Why can't we put them all in a cage and ship them back to where they came from?

The Imposter Muslin Pres Obama AKA ??? SSN 042-68-4425 Is The Same Number All Obamas Use, Yikeess, Might As Well Bring The Obama Living In A Hut In Kenya, God Bless America And The Tea Party Patriots With Sarah Palin.
That pic is photo-shopped. Look at the differences in the sizes of their heads.
Well, of course it's photoshopped, you can see the dimensional perspectives give
that away.
I think the content is in the article and the photoshopped pic was just meant to be
an attention getter.
obummer won't deport him or his aunt either that has been here for years.
What's the matter with obeying the laws we have? He never will. He took
an oath to uphold the constitution of the U.S. and he's not doing it.
