Obama "didn't know" about his aunt.

. Barack Obama didn't know his aunt might be living illegally in the United States, as media outlets are reporting, his campaign said Saturday.

"Sen. Obama has no knowledge of her status but obviously believes that any and all appropriate laws [should] be followed," campaign spokesman Bill Burton said.

According to The Associated Press, a court refused four years ago to accept the asylum application of Zeituni Onyango, 56, the half-sister of Obama's Kenyan father. However, she has continued to live in a public housing complex in South Boston, AP reported.

Onyango's refusal to leave the country would be an administrative violation, not a criminal matter.

CNN has not been able to independently verify her immigration status. Immigration and Customs Enforcement spokeswoman Kelly Nantel said the agency "is prohibited from commenting on any individual's status."

Democratic U.S. Rep. John Conyers of Michigan fired off a letter asking Homeland Security Secretary Michael Chertoff to investigate whether someone leaked the information to the media in an effort to damage Obama.

"The AP reports that it 'could not establish whether anyone at a political level in the Bush administration or in the McCain campaign had been involved,' a very disturbing (suggestion) indeed," read the letter from Conyers, who is chairman of the House Judiciary Committee.

"This leak is deplorable and I urge you to take immediate action to investigate and discipline those responsible."

The Department of Homeland Security had no immediate response to the letter.

The Obama campaign did not indicate whether Obama has been in touch with his aunt, whom he describes in his book "Dreams from My Father."

The Boston Housing Authority did not return calls or an e-mail from CNN on Saturday.

No one answered calls Saturday to a phone number listed under Onyango's name.

In his book, Obama writes of meeting his aunt when he visited Kenya as a young man.

"A tall, brown-skinned woman was smiling beside us, and Auma [Obama's half-sister] turned and said, 'Barack, this is Auntie Zeituni. Our father's sister," Obama wrote.

"'Welcome home,' Zeituni said, kissing me on both cheeks."

It is not clear when Onyango arrived in the United States.

She told the London Times that she travels back and forth between the United States and Kenya.

"I have been coming to America ever since 1975. I always come and go," the Times quoted her as saying.

Onyango has donated at least five times to Obama's campaign in July and September, listing her occupation as a "volunteer resident health advocate." Federal campaign finance records indicate several contributions in amounts of $5 and $25.

The gifts would appear to violate federal campaign finance law, which prohibits political donations by non-U.S. citizens.

"The responsibility is the campaign's to ensure the funds they receive are from permissible sources in appropriate amounts," Bob Biersack, a spokesman for the Federal Election Commission, told The Times of London.

Big deal....I've got 2 aunts and I haven't a clue where in the hell they are.


We can't control kin folks. If she's here illegally....she'll get sent back.

I know where all my aunts are. I don't beleive Obama, the guy lies more than Hillary does.

Why weren't her illegal donations caught? Kinda makes you wonder how many other illegal donations Obama took doesn't it? I guess the ends justify the means...

He first met his father's side of the family when he traveled to Africa 20 years ago. He referred to Onyango as "Auntie Zeituni" when describing the trip in his memoir, saying she was "a proud woman."

Obama's campaign said he had seen her a few times since that meeting, beginning with a return trip to Kenya with his future wife, Michelle, in 1992. Onyango visited the family in Chicago on a tourist visa at Obama's invitation about nine years ago, the campaign said, stopping to visit friends on the East Coast before returning to Kenya.

She attended Obama's swearing-in to the U.S. Senate in 2004, but campaign officials said Obama provided no assistance in getting her a tourist visa and does not know the details of her stay. The campaign said he last heard from her about two years ago when she called saying she was in Boston, but he did not see her there.

Why bother explaining? It will only be another in a series of lies. A lot of people in this country already know he's a habitual liar, the rest are jsut infatuated with him like fff and Kolo, they don't care that he lies and will even make excuses for him.

That in itself is the problem she drugs she takes are making her hallucinate. Making her think people are following her around and making passes at her and wanting to visit her.
So it would be best that she takes less not more drugs. :D :D :D :wink:

Nope never did follow YOU around, it just seems you have a fascination with thinking I do. You know the drugs you take that cause you to think you are something special :D
You know the ones that give you delusions of grandeur that you have been addicted to for years and yrs.
Sorry I missed you when you and you broom flew over halloween night. :D
