Officials released President Obama’s uncle from Plymouth County jail yesterday after holding him for more than two weeks on an immigration detainer for violating an order to return to his native Kenya in 1992.

If Obama can send us to war without our approval, he could easily have given his Uncle citizenship without us ever knowing or being able to do anything about it..

Stupid laws don't apply to The Emperor or his relatives.
He's dreamy *sigh*
Brian P. Hale, an agency spokesman, said he would not comment on the case because privacy laws and the agency’s policies prohibit it. He said the database is accurate, however.

What happened to the quote on the Statue of Liberty .....

My Dad immigrated here from Germany....but he had Blond Hair and Blue Eyes.
Apparently If you are Black AND from AFRICA and possess the name of one our historically favorite presidents then one need not apply !! Just Simply GO BACK !
In all fairness to the POTUS.
This looks like a distant relative.....for he's only half brother to Obama's Father.
It is also evident that the President's position hasn't much benefited this individual if at all.
Rep. King says Judiciary Committee should question Obama's 'Uncle Omar'
by Justin Sink - 09/12/11 03:56 PM ET
Rep. Steve King (R-IA), a member of the House Judiciary Committee, said Monday that Congress should question President Obama's uncle Onyango Obama to see if he received preferential treatment during his deportation proceedings.
"We have to bring drunken 'Uncle Omar' in front of the House Judiciary Committee, drill down into this, and tell America what's going on," King said on Fox News.
Onyango was arrested last month for allegedly driving under the influence and nearly hitting a police car. He had been held in a Massachusetts jail on charges stemming from a 1992 immigration order to return to his native Kenya, but was released last Thursday.
"If any one of us … nearly ran over a police officer, we would face the full fury of the law," King said.
The congressman went on to say that he believed that the president's uncle would receive preferential treatment from the Department of Homeland Security, and cited the case of the president's aunt, who was discovered living in Boston as an illegal immigrant during the 2008 election. An immigration judge reversed an original court order and granted Zeituni Onyango, the president's aunt, political asylum in 2010.
"I watched as President Obama's aunt, Zeituni Onyango, also evaded [Immigration and Customs Enforcement]," King said. "The sympathy, the bleeding heart, of [Department of Homeland Security Director] Janet Napolitano decided to use an administrative authority to grant President Obama's aunt asylum."
House Judiciary Committee Chairman Lamar Smith (R-Texas) said last week that he believed that Onyango's release on his own recognizance was indicative of unfair influence.
“It appears there is a double standard — one for President Obama’s family and one for everyone else,” Smith said in a news release. “Last year, President Obama’s illegal immigrant aunt was granted asylum and now his illegal immigrant uncle has been released from [Immigration and Customs Enforcement] custody, even though he was arrested by authorities for drunk driving.”
The White House has said that they have not tried to intervene on Onyango's behalf.
“We expect it to be treated — and I refer you to ICE and [the Department of Homeland Security] — like any other immigration case,” White House press secretary Jay Carney said.
But Republicans see the case as an opportunity to hit the president on his recently announced immigration policy, in which officials were instructed to exercise prosecutorial discretion in deportation cases. Under that policy, the government would focus resources on deporting those considered national security or public safety threats.
“President Obama’s backdoor amnesty allows drunk-driving illegal immigrants like his uncle to remain in the U.S.,” Smith said. “His immigration policies are a risk to both public safety and American lives. Why should citizens and legal immigrants be threatened by drunk driving illegal immigrants when the administration can deport them?”
Whereas, President Barack Obama's uncle Onyango "Omar" Obama is an Illegal Alien from Kenya; and
Whereas, Uncle Omar was arrested last week on Wednesday after he allegedly nearly rammed his SUV into a police car in Framingham, Massachusetts; and
Whereas, Uncle Omar blatantly violated U.S. immigration law and is charged with a DUI; and
Whereas, President Barack Obama has time and time again disregarded and demonstrated contempt for the ENFORCEMENT OF IMMIGRATION LAW
Therefore We the People demand President Obama put the country first and demonstrate to the American people that no one is above the law and immediately deport his Uncle, Onyango "Omar" Obama.
