As another of President Obama's illegal alien relatives gets preferential treatment, King renews call for Congressional hearings

Washington, D.C.- Congressman Steve King (R-IA) today released the following statement renewing his calls for Congressional hearings into President Obama's recently announced program that grants Executive Amnesty to illegal aliens. King's statement is issued in the wake of media reports that President Obama's drunken, illegal alien uncle, Omar Onyango Obama, has been released from the custody of U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement. Prior to his release, "Uncle Omar" Obama was being held subject to a 1992 deportation order, which was uncovered following "Uncle Omar's" recent arrest on suspicion of driving under the influence, driving to endanger, and failing to use a turn signal. According to the Boston Globe, Federal immigration officials are only willing to confirm that Obama is "not in custody", and they will not reveal whether he was released on bond, whether they are aware of his whereabouts, or whether they are still seeking his deportation.

"President Obama's Uncle, Uncle Omar, has been picked up for drunken driving with almost twice the blood alcohol level that is allowable by law in Massachusetts. It'll be the third time that he's been interdicted with regard to being an illegal immigrant. He's twice before been adjudicated for deportation, this time Immigrations and Customs Enforcement just released him, after they had him in custody, as if he's not going to be a danger to our society."

"The special privileges for the president's family who are illegal immigrants, this is the second one. His Aunt Zeituni was also picked up as an illegal immigrant and finally granted an asylum by ICE, by the Department of Homeland Security. We need to have Congressional hearings into favorite treatment of the White House. This executive amnesty that the President has ordered, that they're not going to enforce immigration law, and who pops up first? Drunken Uncle Omar. I want to subpoena drunken Uncle Omar to come into the House Judiciary Committee along with his attorney, who's the same attorney that President Obama's Aunt Zeituni had that got her asylum."

"We must enforce our immigration laws and we must enforce those immigration laws equally across all society. Justice has got to be blind, it can't play favorites, and I want to have hearings in the House Judiciary Committee over drunken Uncle Omar."

On August 29, Congressman King suggested that drunken "Uncle Omar" Obama could be the first beneficiary of the President's new Executive Amnesty for Illegal Aliens program. With today's revelations, it appears that Congressman King's suspicions were correct, and that the Obama administration may have used the new rules to grant amnesty to the President's uncle.

It is also worth noting that this is not the first time an illegal alien relative of President Obama has appeared to benefit from preferential treatment. Last year, President Obama's illegal alien aunt, Zeituni Onyango, had a deportation order overturned despite the fact that her previous request for asylum, made prior to her nephew becoming President, had already been rejected.
