I don’t care if she is God’s relative she should be deported and it should be done immediately. I think it’s wrong that the President Elect is overlooking this crime being committed by one of his own family members. Is this how he is going to fix our country by turning a blind eye when it comes to his family and friends breaking the law?
Why don’t people get it that the first crime they commit is by being here ILLEGALLY. Like all the other criminals in our country illegally she should go back to her country and apply for LEGAL immigration status. I am so tired of the American public having to pay the price for the criminals being here!

It seems to me that not only should she be deported, but her relatives that knowingly hid her should face prosecution. We all know how this is going to turn out however. Due to her nephew, whe will be allowed to stay and the US taxpayers will take it in the shorts one more time.

Every time the government passes anther multibillion dollar bail out your money is worth less.
How does the government pay for these bail outs?- First the Federal Government Taxes with the Income tax (which is unconstitutional)
2.When it can’t tax anymore it sales bonds (which is basically a promise to tax you even more because they have to tax to pay back the bonds).
- Then they borrow money, from China mostly and some other countries. Basically borrowing money that young people and our children will get the burden of being drowned with.
4. When they cant borrow or tax anymore they walk down the street from the capital building to the Federal Reserve. Well the Federal Reserve is about as federal as… Federal Express. The private bank says OK how much you need? $700,000,000,000.00 Billion dollars, OK! And they right the Gov. a check for 700B. BUT WAIT the Federal Reserve does not have 700B it has NOTHING! The Federal Reserve just wrote a “bad check”. They basically printed $700,000,000,000.00 Billion out of thin air, a magic trick, a scam, a charade, an illusion.But here is the kicker you may not know about!
The American Tax Payer actually has to pay interest to the Private bankers (The Federal Reserve) on the money that it just created out of thin air!!!So the Goverment takes that money and deposits it as though it actually exist. The Federal Government then starts to give away checks to the Banks that really run the show, so now the banks (AIG ETC.) have treasury checks that they deposit, they then inturn loan money bassed on these deposits, in which customers pay them interest. Pretty sweet deal for these guys ( the bankers). But what happens is that as all this “new money” emerges into the economy prices start to go up, and before you know it your making the same amount of money but it is worth-less. And not only that! But tax payers are actually paying a private bank backed by our current politicians and government INTEREST to print money out of thin air (which steals the value of our savings and purchasing power) The interest payed to the Federal Reserve and China on money owed is more then all the money collected from the Income tax, ALL THE REVENUE FROM THE INCOME TAX DOES NOT EVEN COVER THE INTEREST ON THE MONEY BORROWED BY OUR CORRUPT, INCOMPETENT, NON CONSTITUTIONAL ABIDING POLITICIANS~! time to wake up

This woman may very well deserve to be deported, however she is President- elect Obama’s relative…it won’t hapen. That’s what’s worng with US politics, in order to further their own agenda, they will let certain people do as the please with no consequences.

Hey andy, What does this have to do whith President Elect Obama’s aunt?
Mr. Martinez,
Do not throw rocks if you live in a glass house.
Mike, you are right about those who harbor. It is a violation of law. Do you know how many persons in the US could be charged with harboring or knowingly aiding and abbeting an illegal alien?
But the law also allows for people to fight any charges under our laws, regardless of their stautus in the United States. Isn’t this a great country? I wouldn’t have it any pther way.
What can I say Aurora to make you happy? How would you like to be in her shoes and be denied your constitutional rights?
