Obama's Illegal Alien Aunt Gets Another Year in the U.S.

Boy, is our immigration law screwed up (from Michelle Malkin):

Zeituni Onyango, the Kenyan aunt of President Obama, emerged this morning after a brief, closed-door hearing in US Immigration Court and smiled broadly.

“Praise God,” Onyango said softly, holding her head high as she was surrounded by a throng of men in suits.

Judge Leonard I. Shapiro continued Onyango’s case until Feb. 4, 2010, which allowed her to stay in the United States until at least that date, according to Fatimah Mateen, a spokesperson for the court. At the initial appearance, the judge explained the deportation charges against Onyango and detailed her rights. Mateen briefed reporters in the lobby of the courtroom, standing beneath a framed photograph of Onyango’s nephew, President Obama.

“Ms. Onyango case is being treated just like any other case before an immigration judge,” Mateen said.

Ain't that the sad truth. You can be in the country illegally, and admittedly so, and yet we can't just throw you out.
