Obama's illegal alien aunt seeks asylum in U.S.

President Barack Obama's illegal alien aunt is seeking asylum to stay in the United States. Zeituni Onyango, the 56-year-old Kenyan half-sister of Obama's deceased father, has hired an attorney to represent her at an immigration hearing in Boston on April 1.

Onyango lives in a South Boston slum, and refused to leave the U.S. for her Kenyan homeland after a judge rejected her request for asylum in 2004.

A Boston Housing Authority spokesman told the Boston Herald that Onyango receives a small stipend for working six hours a week as a volunteer resident health advocate in her complex.

Obama’s aunt made a $260 campaign contribution to her nephew's presidential bid from a work address in the city.
