DHS Confirms: Deportation of Obama’s Uncle on Hold as Immigration Board Re-Opens Case
(CNSNews.com) — The U.S Board of Immigration Appeals has agreed to reopen the immigration case of Onyango Obama, delaying the deportation of the 68-year old Kenyan who violated an order to leave the United States in 1992.
U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), a division of the Department of Homeland Security, confirmed to CNSNews.com on Tuesday that Obama, who is the president’s uncle, was granted a rehearing last week and his case is being re-opened.
“The Board of Immigration Appeals (BIA) remanded the case back to Executive Office for Immigration Review (EOIR) for reconsideration. It is inappropriate for ICE to offer any further comment on this case,” Brian P. Hale, ICE assistant director for public affairs, said in a statement to CNSNews.com.
The Cleveland, Ohio-based immigration law firm of Margaret Wong and Associates, which is handling Obama’s case, said the delay may allow the Kenyan national to apply to stay in the U.S. permanently.
“We are delighted that the Board of Immigration Appeals has decided to reopen the deportation case of President Obama’s uncle, Obama Onyango,” Wong said in a statement.
“Mr. Onyango now has an opportunity to stay in the U.S. and apply for permanent residency,” the statement said. “Mr. Onyango is the brother of the U.S. president’s late father and came to the U.S. in the 1960s on one of the last boat lifts.”
In 1989, an immigration judge ordered Obama, who has been in the U.S. since 1963, to be deported. He appealed and the appeal was dismissed in 1992.

Why doesn’t the Black Lord just absolve him of his crimes against the laws of this country, and bestow instant citizenship on him as a reward for them?

Why not send him to Ireland? They all know obama in Offaly. Set him up in a Section 8 and he can drink for free at obama’s cousin’s Bar. Healey’s in Monegall. Case closed.

I want his DNA taken before he goes anywhere. I want 0bama’s aunt’s DNA taken too. And the DNA of his half-brother living in Kenya. Then I want Barry’s, Mooshell’s, and the kids too.
Then I want a comparison by an expert with no knowledge of the names associated with the DNA sample results. Bet it shows Uncle Obongo, Auntie, and the half-brother all related. Also Mooshell and her two daughters related to each other but not to the Obongos. Barry’s DNA will not be related to any of them.
Prove me wrong. Or at least please try!

Sooo umm, if O’Booga-booga there is allowed to thumb his nose at our laws, why even bother to pretend to enforce them? Or even have them anymore? And if we can choose to ignore laws we find inconvenient and have no enforcement of anyway, can I stop paying my taxes then for example?

He can stay, but you gotta neuter the monkey-nurtured bastard first.

@whom — The people that don’t want the immigration laws enforced are the same lot that say, “You can’t legislate what goes on in the bedroom.” Does that mean I can hide money from the IRS under my mattress?
These people have no brains. Which is what makes them perfect democrats.
