Why should she get to stay in the US and suck off the taxpayers teat? She has already been to see the judge and lost. Now she needs to go back home. She only came here for Obama's swearing in ceremony when he was elected US Senator. She is using the system and living off the US taxpayer and she has contributed NOTHING to our system.

If Obama hadn't been elected POTUS they would have sent her home on the next available plane. So how many more of Obama's Kenyan relatives should the US taxpayers support?

She is exercising her legal right to appeal an adverse court decision. Do you agree with the right to appeal or not?

Not if the only reason she can appeal again is because her nephew is POTUS.

She's been living off the taxpayers and has contributed nothing to our system. Why should she get to stay? Give me some good reasons??

Are you saying the method by which her appeal was granted is illegal or inappropriately applied? If so, please provide evidence. If you cannot do so, she should get to stay until her appeals are exhausted because that's the way the US judicial system works.

She only came for Obama's swearing in to the Senate, how long ago was that?

I'm saying we've wasted enough time/money on her. She has already had an appeal and lost so ship her home.

Care to explain how she is 'living off the taxpayers and has contributed nothing to our system'? I'd love to see your proof of this statement.
I'd love it even more if you could prove it wrong, but you can't.

There are little invisible green aliens surrounding you. Prove me wrong.

You make the claim as to her intent, you have the burden of proof. Sorry, that's just the way it works.

Here's an idea, why don't we let the court system work the way it's supposed to. If you can show that the means by which her appeal was granted are illegal or inappropriate, then I will be the first one to agree with you.

I'm still waiting for that, by the way.

Wait, so now we have to DISPROVE your unsupported statements? That's ridiculous.

If I accuse you of being a child molester, is it my job to prove my allegations true, or your job to prove that you aren't?

I don't care if you think I'm a child molester. :p

I have proven it before and I'm not wasting my time proving it again. Too bad, so sad.

No sorry, you made the claim, the burden of proof lies on you, not on Robor. You have committed the Burden of Proof logical fallacy.

I don't know it and I am somebody which makes me part of everybody. That would make your claim that "everybody knows it" false. Please enlighten us with some facts to substantiate your claim. If you can't provide any facts to substantiate your claim that she's here living off the taxpayers teet, then stick with the real facts which are that she is apparently in violation of the law. There's no need to go tossing in wild, reckless, unsubstantiated claims on top of it. If she's here in violation of the law, she needs to go back to the end of the line. End of story.

If you don't beleive me I don't care. I know what the facts are because I took the time to inform myself as best I could as to what was going on.

Just because I'm not going to jump through hoops for you doesn't prove I'm wrong in my accusations, so go waste somebody eles's time, or better yet look it up yourself.

Maybe you can prove me wrong?? :p

From the link...

Onyango did a good job as a public health advocate on behalf of the Boston Housing Authority. She also works as a volunteer computer systems co-ordinator for the Experience Corps, a program in which adults over 55 mentor children in their communities.

It also mentions she had a SS card so it sounds like she contributed to the system and community. Now go back under your bridge.

As stated previously I don't care whether what you claim is true or not. It's enough to me that she is here in violation of the law. But if you're going to make claims about her which border on slander and libel, then you better be prepared to provide citations as to where you're getting your information. I have no way of knowing what you may or may not have read elsewhere before spouting off here. So either just stick to the known facts or provide proof of your additional accusations. The burden of proof does not lie on me, it lies on you. Obviously you either didn't bother to read the link I posted for you on the burden of proof concept or were simply too ignorant to comprehend it.

Victory!

Now, too bad she had to go and disobey the orders of the judge. Seems like she's productive member of society. But then again so am I but that cop who gave me the speeding ticket that once didn't seem to take that into consideration before deciding whether or not to issue me that citation. Sometimes otherwise smart people do stupid things and when those stupid things happen to violate the law, they must pay the consequences same as anybody else.

That is for the courts to decide. Immigration law is full of red tape and delays. As I understand it normally a long overstay will get someone a long - and sometimes permanent - ban.

Now politics came into play and she is being given special treatment because her nephew is POTUS

Your going to be waiting a long time. What i've said is true and everybody knows it so :p

I have no idea what it is about immigration that turns you into a raving lunatic, you seem relatively normal in other threads. If everyone knows it, you should be able to at least dig up some semblance of proof for this. How about some links supporting your idea?

An Associated Press story about poor people buying lottery tickets at cheque-cashing shops, from Cambridge, Massachusetts, on May 25, 2003, quotes a Zeituni Onyango, described as out of work and without much money. "It's like when I feel luck might fall I do that, like manna might come from heaven. That's when I buy it," she told AP.

A staff member at the Boston Housing Authority office, 50m from her house, said Ms Onyango had been a volunteer resident health advocate between December last year and August this year. She worked six hours a week for a small stipend.

Ms Onyango is also listed on the internet as a volunteer with Experience Corps, a program in which adults over 55 mentor children in their communities.

Many people have many appeals. If she is being given special treatment because her nephew is the President, then please provide evidence for this by showing how she is being given special and extremely unusual dispensation by the court that other immigrants with similar resources don't get, or that the manner by which her appeal was granted are illegal or improper.

I have no idea if it is or not, and I'm not even asking for a smoking gun... just some idea that her treatment is particularly unusual even for someone who obviously would have significant legal resources at their disposal. You guys are throwing around an awful lot of accusations with absolutely no proof. Sorry, the world doesn't work that way.

What is your point here? That she purchased lotto tickets? That she didn't have much money? That she volunteered? Or were you just trying to prove your earlier statement wrong?

Where's evidence of the part where she was suckling off the taxpayer teet? (Since that is what your original claim was.) I don't see where it says she was using welfare payments to buy those lottery tickets or anything. If this is the best you can come up with then maybe you should take my previous suggestions and just stick with the fact that she's here in violation of the law. No need to paint her as something worse or try to further demean her or slander her character in any way. Being here illegally should be enough to acheive the desired result which is to have her deported.

Nope, it would appear that she is. Of course the reality of immigration law is much more complicated than all that, but I can already see what you're trying to do.

LOL, she's a leech and doesn't want to go back home when she can live off the US taxpayers. Can't you admit the obvious truth? This whole Aunt Zeita thing sure is a pain in the ASS, isn't it. The facts in this case sure seem to have a liberal bias.

I guess you missed the part where she was living in public housing and where she had back surgery. Who do you think paid for that, her insurance company from her 6 hour/week job?

Not if the only reason she can appeal again is because her nephew is POTUS.

She's been living off the taxpayers and has contributed nothing to our system. Why should she get to stay? Give me some good reasons??

Care to explain how she is 'living off the taxpayers and has contributed nothing to our system'? I'd love to see your proof of this statement.
I'd love it even more if you could prove it wrong, but you can't.

From the link...

Onyango did a good job as a public health advocate on behalf of the Boston Housing Authority. She also works as a volunteer computer systems co-ordinator for the Experience Corps, a program in which adults over 55 mentor children in their communities.

It also mentions she had a SS card so it sounds like she contributed to the system and community. Now go back under your bridge.

LOL@U

An Associated Press story about poor people buying lottery tickets at cheque-cashing shops, from Cambridge, Massachusetts, on May 25, 2003, quotes a Zeituni Onyango, described as out of work and without much money. "It's like when I feel luck might fall I do that, like manna might come from heaven. That's when I buy it," she told AP.

A staff member at the Boston Housing Authority office, 50m from her house, said Ms Onyango had been a volunteer resident health advocate between December last year and August this year. She worked six hours a week for a small stipend.

Ms Onyango is also listed on the internet as a volunteer with Experience Corps, a program in which adults over 55 mentor children in their communities.

What is your point here? That she purchased lotto tickets? That she didn't have much money? That she volunteered? Or were you just trying to prove your earlier statement wrong?

LOL, she's a leech and doesn't want to go back home when she can live off the US taxpayers. Can't you admit the obvious truth? This whole Aunt Zeita thing sure is a pain in the ASS, isn't it. The facts in this case sure seem to have a liberal bias.

Be that as it may (which it may or may not be. . .I'm not making any subjective judgements here) it is irrelevant. Just doesn't matter. She was told to go, she didn't, she had her day in court, she had her appeal, she lost both, time to go. Bye auntie!

She only came for Obama's swearing in to the Senate, how long ago was that?

I'm saying we've wasted enough time/money on her. She has already had an appeal and lost so ship her home.

Here's an idea, why don't we let the court system work the way it's supposed to. If you can show that the means by which her appeal was granted are illegal or inappropriate, then I will be the first one to agree with you.

I'm still waiting for that, by the way.
The court system worked. She had her appeal and lost.

Now politics came into play and she is being given special treatment because her nephew is POTUS

Many people have many appeals. If she is being given special treatment because her nephew is the President, then please provide evidence for this by showing how she is being given special and extremely unusual dispensation by the court that other immigrants with similar resources don't get, or that the manner by which her appeal was granted are illegal or improper.

I have no idea if it is or not, and I'm not even asking for a smoking gun... just some idea that her treatment is particularly unusual even for someone who obviously would have significant legal resources at their disposal. You guys are throwing around an awful lot of accusations with absolutely no proof. Sorry, the world doesn't work that way.
You do not have many appeals with the INS.

You get one chance to prove your case against the evidence.
If the court rules against you; you are given (if the INS allows it) a set time frame to put your affairs in order and then you report to a processing center.

The court ruled against her and she ran / hid instead of reporting.

When the INS picks up a runner, they are kept in a holding area and put on a plane within a week to their own country.

In her case, she have been given two court dates since she was exposed; one right after Obama was elected and then the current one which allowed another year for review. That is not normal procedures.

Why is she being handled with kid gloves when there are others that are under a depoeration order and being given airline tickets every day?>
