A specious argument at best

"'Whether it's the president's aunt, my aunt or your aunt - anybody who's seeking asylum is seeking that status for a very important reason,' said Ali Noorani, executive director of the National Immigration Forum."

"Because they wish to stay here despite a valid deportation order, and after losing several appeals, solely because their distant nephew is now the President" isn't a very important reason at all, Mr. Noorani. To imply that everyone who files an asylum claim is genuinely in fear for their lives is disingenuous, and robs the credibility of those who really have a true asylum argument.

"Since Kenya gained independence from Britain in 1963, periodic tensions have arisen among the Luos - Onyango's tribe - and some of Kenya's other tribes, including the Kikuyus."

The illegal alien apologists are really beginning to spectacularly grasp at just about any straw to help justify Ms. Onyango's continued presence here, aren't they? Should we now allow the entire population of Kenya to emigrate here because of these nebulous "tensions"? Good Lord, we have daily "tensions" in this country. Maybe, if I list all of them on the application, Kenya will accept my asylum bid if I'm ever caught there illegally.
