Any faith I had in the justice system in this country is quickly dissipating. Aside from the events surrounding our own situation in the Montgomery County, Maryland prosecutor’s office, today we read how the President’s uncle, who was ordered out of the country twenty-one years by an immigration court, had his day in court yesterday and the judge decided that Onyango Obama could stay because he is of high moral character, well except for the fact that he’s in this country illegally. The Associated Press reports;<\/p>\n
His immigration status didn’t become public until his 2011 drunken-driving arrest in Framingham. Police said after the arrest he told them, “I think I will call the White House.”<\/p>\n
Asked about the exchange by a prosecutor on Tuesday, he said he might have said that but couldn’t recall.<\/p>\n
The charge was dismissed after he completed a year of probation and 14 weeks of alcohol education classes.<\/p>\n
The judge said he considered testimony about Obama’s character, including letters from people who praised him for being a “kind and decent person,” and considered the drunken-driving charge and allegations of discrepancies in what he told immigration officials 20 to 30 years ago.<\/p>\n
“He appears to me to be a gentleman,” the judge said.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
He’s a gentleman who ignored a court order to leave the country two decades ago. There’s more at Michelle Malkin<\/a>‘s place.<\/p>\n

A Detroit family is being ripped apart after immigration officials gave a 40-year-old married mother 24 hours to leave the country despite having no criminal convictions, a husband who has lived here for decades and three U.S.-born children.<\/p>\n
Cile Precetaj, who came to the States seeking asylum 13 years ago, was ordered to report for deportation at Detroit Metro Airport at 10:30 a.m. today for a flight back to her native Albania, after receiving a letter from authorities Monday telling her to pack her bags.<\/p>\n
However, in a desperate bid to buy time, she deliberately missed the deadline, and is now waiting at home, with her family around her, until authorities take her to jail where she will be held until another flight is organized.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
