The drunken driving arrest of President Barack Obama’s uncle has thrown
the White House’s new immigration policies straight into the spotlight.
Now GOP politicians and immigration policy groups are vowing to keep a
close eye on the case of Onyango Obama, who is being held in custody as
there is a warrant already out ordering his deportation to Kenya.
“We will be watching this case very carefully,” Ira Mehlman, spokesman for
the Federation for American Immigration Reform (FAIR), told Newsmax.
“He was already under a deportation order, so it raises the question of why
was he still here?”
And freshman Republican Rep. Joe Walsh said, “This is the height of irony.
Just a couple of weeks after the president sends out an executive order his
uncle, who shouldn’t be here in the first place, gets arrested.
“The timing is just exquisite," the Illinois congressman told Newsmax.
“They said 300,000 cases would be dealt with on a case-by-case basis. Is
this guy on that list and who is going to be looking at his case? I trust it is
not the president. There could be a massive conflict of interest here.”
Onyango Obama was arrested on Aug. 24 outside the Chicken Bone
Saloon in Framingham, Mass. after nearly hitting a police patrol car as he
went through a stop sign. Tests showed his blood alcohol level was nearly
double the legal limit. He was held in detention when police learned about
the deportation order.
When told he could make one phone call, he said, “I think I should call the
White House.”
The case has received little media attention in the United States, although it
was widely covered in Britain and Australia.
“If it was me and I had an illegal immigrant jailed for drunk driving, it would
be all over the press,” said Walsh. “But the media have protected this
president from the day he announced he was running.”
The president referred to Onyango as “Uncle Omar” in his 1995 book
“Dreams From My Father.” He visited members of his family in Kenya who
called him “the uncle who had left for America 25 years ago and had never
come back.”
The Times of London tried to find Onyango while doing research on the
then-presidential candidate in 2008 but failed, although it did turn up his
sister Zeituni Obama who was living as an illegal immigrant on a Boston
housing estate.Onyango and Zeituni are the children of the president’s grandfather
Hussein Onyango Obama and his third wife, Sarah. Obama’s father, Barack
Sr., who died in 1982, was the son of Hussein’s second wife, Akumu.
Zeituni, who moved to the United States in 2000, claimed political asylum,
citing violence in Kenya. Her case was denied, but she later won the right to
remain. She was represented by Cleveland attorney Margaret Wong who
has also been retained by Onyango, reported the Times of London.
FAIR spokesman Mehlman said the question of whether DUIs should result
in deportation orders is unclear under the new policy. A spokeswoman for
ICE did not immediately respond to a Newsmax request for clarification.
But the case focuses attention on the new immigration policy, said Mehlman,
and begs the question as to why Onyango Obama was still in the country
despite the deportation order. “It illustrates how our current president and
some of his predecessors have turned our immigration law into a joke,” he
said.
“If we don’t take immigration laws seriously in this country, why should we
expect people around the world to do so?”

I do want to say, and let me make it as clear as possible... [B]This does not affect anything politically in anyway towards Obama.[/B]
Except it will do. You know it will.
Oh wow. I just know something's going to stir up because of this.
Yeah, lizardmen haven't been known to drive well.

What a strange strange situation America has got itself into. 20 years ago we (as a country) could not even contemplate not knowing who (Obama) this man is. but today we elect some foreign mystery figure. Because of the entertainment industry (Oprah) we have elected a foreign communist that we are not even sure of his family or roots. It is truly a sad day in America and the end of America and it's exceptionalism.[/quote]
I would laugh... But then I realised that they actually BELIEVE this.
Forgive me but I don't care all that much. I do suspect that this will come up in the news in more than one way, though.
Considering his family is insanely huge due to having a father with multiple wives, is this really news?

Don't act like these kinds of people aren't in the UK or Australia as well. Just look at the BNP.

How sad.
Well the BNP are just racist bastards, I don't think they're completely retarded. Just complete dickheads.

Yeah, but the BNP is not a majority party (1 seat in parliament is it?), the Republicans, however, make up roughly half your Government. And probably a larger part of your voting public.
Well he isn't the first one to do that. And he sure as fuck ain't the last one to do that either.

I'd actually say the conservatism movement is stronger in Europe than in North America. I mean ours are still piddling around in gay marriage while Europe's are actively talking about how to get rid of races that aren't white
As for Australians, yeah you guys can laugh a bit more

All I'm saying is that acting like one country is or isn't "crazy" based on the actions of a few or even of many. The US itself is little more than a geographical area, its the people in it that define it, but these people are not crazy because they're American, they're crazy because they're crazy. Just like the BNP is not racist because they're British, they're racist because they're racist.
Seriously, this is the best they can come up with? Sure, I know that relatives can cause a stir (Just look at what happened with Jimmy Carter's brother, who was very close to him), but something as detached as an uncle being arrested for DUI is just a cheap shot if someone tries to use it as fuel against his campaign.

Like I said, some people will make absolutely ridiculous connections, like that "ape doesn't fall far from the tree" comment someone made in the comments.

Thank goodness there's less of them to compensate for that.
Excuse me, I might sound dumb.
So what? If he wouldn't be related to Obama or anybody famous nobody would care.
cue fox news headline posts

Now I want to read "Black Man" by Richard Morgan again
The solution is clear. We MUST stop electing communist foreigners into our government, otherwise uncles all over will be arrested for drunk driving!

I don't know of any conservative movement in Europe that makes a difference between races, sure theres nationalist extremists who does that but not any conservatives afaik.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but aren't there some leading parties in the scandanavian region trying to remove muslims or something?
I honestly don't know at this point with all the contradicting shit i've heard.

And doesn't it piss anyone else off that this matters to people? Why does Obama's uncle matter in anyway shape or form?
