Zeituni Onyango said she came to the United States in 2000 and had every intention of leaving. Then, however, she says she got deathly ill and was hospitalized. When she recovered, she said she was broke and couldn't afford to leave.
For two years Onyango said she lived in a homeless shelter, before she was assigned public housing despite thousands of legal residents also awaiting assistance. "I didn't take any advantage of the system. The system took advantage of me."
"I didn't ask for it; they gave it to me. Ask your system. I didn't create it or vote for it. Go and ask your system," she said unapologetically.
And she's right. The system provided her assistance despite her status as an illegal immigrant.
so she got a visa came here got sick and went broke, I would not wish that on anyone, you're in a strange place, apparently no friends or relatives to call?
Q's
- why didn't dshe reach out to anyonoe? Why did she come here?
we'll never know unless shes says why she never looked barak up for help.
- did she ever go to the Kenyan embassy and ask for a ticket home, many embassies do that, they give you a ticket if you're indigent and the deal is you're supposed to pay it back when you get home.
- why isn't Obama helping her now? he could buy her a ticket give her money and she can go home.
- why isn't the Kenyan embassy taking any action? has anyone like back channeled them from Obamas side? apparently not.
comment;
IF this was a bush or a reagan or a rep. senators relative laboring under similar circumstances we would hear weekly how this is just another example of rep.s who hate the 'little' people and won't even take care of their own family, which is symptomatic of how they see and treat the poor yada yada yada......
Her apparent anger and remarks are totally uncalled for. Gratitude indeed has a short half life.
