Obama's aunt who apparently lives in very poor conditions in Boston is in this country illegally. Obama says he did not know this.

Immigration Reform Fail!
Here we go again. Let's have the government investigate who was the leak of Aunty's immigration status:

Why is this moron/hypocrite not calling for an investigation into those Ohio officials that went after Joe the Plumber?

Why not, that wacko Republican rep from Minnesota wants Congress investigated for anti-American thought. Is she trying to make sure that everyone in Congress is a lair and a criminal?
Reread the article, it plainly states:
agency "is prohibited from commenting on any individual's status."
So it seems a law has been broken. By the Republican administration for political gain, again. Just like with Valarie Plame and the Attorney General Firings.
Joe the plumber broke the law by working without a license. Sara Palin was found to have broken Alaska's ethics law and now there's Ted Stevens conviction. There certainly does seem to a be a strong pattern lately with Republicans breaking laws.
And even more disturbing is them then claiming that they had not broken laws, ie Palin saying she was exonerated when she wasn't, Joe's claiming he can work under his boss' license when state rules state he has to at least have an apprentice licence, and now Stevens claiming he hasn't been convicted, when a jury actually did find him guilty.

Thanks for: 1)not answering the question; 2)changing the subject; and 3) completely missing the point. Conyers is illustrating the Obama meme, which is say anything bad against Obama and there will be retaliation. Just this week we have Joe the Plumber being investigated, Obama throwing negative reporting newspapers off his plane, and now this.
Incidentally, I see that you do not seem to care that Obama, who will perhaps be the next president, has an aunt living here illegally and in squalor?

I don't know my aunt's legal status. I presume she's here legally, being white and having family in the country, but for all I know she was born in Mexico and never had the paperwork processed to verify her citizenship before she turned 21.
She definitely wouldn't tell me if she was having problems making ends meet. She's too proud and I only see her a couple of times a year anyway.

Ditto. I haven't seen my aunt in a couple of years. We're not much alike, and she lives several states over. But she could be in Timbuktu for all I know.

Well, have you (or Nathan) written a book wherein you discussed your aunt prominently and lovingly like Obama did with this aunt? If not, nice try on covering for him.

Yet another WITCH HUNT from you, Guido. Just like your fair-and-balanced media outlets, WorldNutDaily and Newsbusters...
You realize that this is his aunt on his biological father's side, don't you?.... He hadn't seen his father in decades, then meets his Kenyan aunt... have you ever read Obama's books? Or do you only read the parts that are exploited by rabid right wing nutjobs for shameless political gain?!?
There's no arguing with you, Guido... because you subscribe to the same old SAY ANYTHING bs that your party's been offering us for years and years now... "trying to play on people's fears to scare up votes."
Once again I ask you: How often do you beat your wife? [:O]

I can't say I've written a book, but if I did, and it were about me, I'm sure I would talk about all three of my aunts and how they shaped my childhood, including the one I haven't seen in nearly 10 years.
People's relationships change over the years, distant people grow close, close people grow distant. It's called life.
Besides, even if he was aware of his aunt's status, Barack Obama is no more responsible for the choices of his aunt than you are for mine.

Oh whatever. The aunt apparently attended his Senate swearing-in ceremony in 2005.
A man who does not know where is Aunt is...what a shame. A man who lets his brother live on a dollar a day...what a shame.
People that vote for such a man...what a shame!
Anyone but Obama!
He is a fraud folks.
According to this Dem, Obama has no political courage:

And I saw my aunt at Christmas in 2006. So what?
Well, was your aunt born in Kenya and illegal in this country?
