Obama's aunt has been living in the country illegally, should he deport her?
The lead of the story from AP:
Barack Obama's Kenyan aunt lost her bid for asylum more than four years ago, and a judge ordered her deported. Instead, Zeituni Onyango stayed, living for years in public housing.
Here's the full article:

Should he deport her?
Should he put her in prison for staying illegally and then deport her?
Should she be made to pay back the money that she has stolen from you and I by living in public housing on welfare?
Should she be held as a spy and shot?
Does this family understand that laws are supposed to be obeyed?
What do you think?
Perhaps I should expand my statement, as the chief law enforcement officer in the country, should he insure that the law is followed?
Should he also equally enforce this law and eject all that are here illegally?

Obama's aunt should have been deported long time ago. I bet there's an arm length in play in her case (Obama might have some friend behind his aunt case). I understand that it's not his call, but I believe that there's a conspiracy at play in the matter. Any citizens focusing in Obama's politics, he is saying one thing and doing another. I distrust him before the election, and I still don't trust him to this day. I have to wonder why is it that the mainstream media doesn't do any investigation about her(Obama's aunt) case. Are they still giving Obama a free passed?

Obama did say while this grew to develop into public that she must be concern to U.S. rules. As a life like count number she's no longer likely everywhere. President Obama ought to no longer order INS to check out/start up deportation recommendations. and that i could wager a paycheck no person in INS has the nerve to do on their very own authority. to accomplish that is occupation suicide and beneficial bring about some IRS audits. the only way something will take place is that if human beings develop sufficient stink. An outrage-sure. So why are not you sending letters on your Represenative and Senators?

what a pointless article. why make an issue out of a non issue?
In response to your statement, "as the chief law enforcement officer in the country, should he insure that the law is followed?"
"Obama has said repeatedly that he didn't know his aunt was living in the United States illegally and believes that laws covering the situation should be followed" <----- this quote is from the article you posted.

The President's job duties do not include deporting people, that's up to the INS. Besides, he's a little busy running the country right now.

I think she should be treated with the same respect that others get in the same or similar situations. The only reason this is news is because it is President Obama's Aunt, this situation is face be thousands of people every day with no media attention, now that it is his Aunt it is news worthy.

Obama has wisely kept his mouth shut. (It's the ONLY wise thing he's done.) And he should continue to do so.
Her deportation has been in motion long before he won the election. Using his influence so that his illegal aunt can stay in this country would seriously backfire on him.
And he knows it.

She should be deported only after the govt. deports the 20 million mexicans that are here illegally.

if he was the president of ICE then yes he may have to, but seeing he is the president of the united states, he has no say, just sway
