Portraits in Parasitism: Aunt Zeituni

Posted by Van Helsing at February 4, 2010 3:57 PM

Our Affirmative Action president — who rode into office despite his radical background and lack of qualifications on a wave of political correctness — isn't the only member of his family to exploit America's misguided niceness toward those who don't particularly deserve it. There's also Zeituni Polly Onyango:

President Barack Obama's Aunt Zeituni admits she illegally overstayed her visa. Instead of obeying the law, she went to a judge in 2003 with a bogus request for asylum. She was turned down. She ignored the deportation order and instead filed an appeal. She was told again: It's illegal for you to stay.

She's still here.

Aunt Zeituni donated $260 to her nephew's campaign for president — which is also against the law because she's not a U.S. citizen. How against the law is it? Remember when the president launched his unprecedented attack against the Supreme Court during his State of the Union? His complaint was that foreigners might donate money to influence U.S. elections.

All these crimes extend from the first crime — violating our immigration laws. It is simply impossible to stay in this country illegally without committing other crimes, like tax fraud and identity theft.

But it's not the illegal stuff that Aunt Zeituni's doing that's so outrageous. It's what she's apparently able to do legally and openly.

She is shamelessly — and happily — living in taxpayer-subsidized housing intended for citizens and legal immigrants. Is there some poor American veteran living in a shelter because she's got this apartment? Aunt Zeituni doesn't care — why should she? [Boston Mayor Tom] Menino and the Boston Housing Authority don't.

And now she's back in court, using taxpayer resources with another bogus bid for asylum. She says she can't go back to Kenya because of "political turmoil." Sorry lady, but if that's the basis for an appeal, nobody would have been allowed back in the White House since Scott Brown's election.

Aunt Zeituni's case puts the lie to the old canard that all criminal immigrants are here to work. She gets a stipend from a city program, along with her housing. In fact, as the Center for Immigration Studies points out, illegal immigrant households are far more likely to be on the dole than the average American. She also highlights the obvious truth of the Heritage Foundation study that our 12 million illegal immigrants are a $2.2 trillion net drain on the taxpayers over the course of their lifetimes.

Wait until Chairman Zero turns his attention away from destroying our economy and toward reengineering American demographics more to the Democrat Party's liking. There will be literally tens of millions more where Aunt Zeituni came from.
