Bush Administration Was Worried About Media Interest in Obama’s Aunt
The Homeland Security Department still is requiring high-level approval before federal immigration agents can arrest fugitives, a rule quietly imposed by the Bush administration days before the election of Barack Obama. Obama’s aunt has been living in the United States illegally.
The directive makes clear that U.S. officials worried about possible election implications of arresting Zeituni Onyango, the half-sister of Obama’s late father, who at the time was living in public housing in Boston. She is now believed to be living in Cleveland.Read More
Do you really think that Obama is keeping his hands out of this situration? Do you really think that Obama didn’t know all about his aunt living in the United States illegally? And the biggest question, what was Bush worried about Obama’s election for? Don’t this sound alittle strange to you that Bush was worried about Obama not being elected ? Strange indeed!
I suspect Bush was worried that picking her up would look bad and actually help Obama.
I guess you’re right, my spin wheel turned the wrong way, I had it repaired in a democrats shop!
You’re talking about a guy who let two Border Patrol agents rot in prison until his last hours in office. Bush deporting somebody? That was never his style…
Bush had some good points and he had some bad points. I didn’t like all he did, but at heart the man was good and tried to do what he thought was best for the country. I still think he was a better choice than Kerry or Gore.

“No one is talking about mass deportations,” he said. “Our approach is one of attrition where you make it difficult for an illegal alien to get a job in this country or to access our social services, so that over time, illegal aliens stop coming to this country and the ones already here go home.”

rjjrdq-Depoting 12 million illegals will do nothing except make us need more border patrol. As long as the jobs and benefits exist, there will always be illegals. Think before you speak.
