The Globe also reports that even though Onyango dropped out school soon
thereafter, federal authorities didn't get around to ordering him out of the
country until 1989. He bought himself another three years in the United States by
appealing the order but in 1992, the federal government ordered him to depart
yet again.
But he never bothered to leave. As The New American puts it: "Apparently, the
thought of physically putting the recalcitrant illegal alien on a plane with a
one-way ticket back to Africa did not occur to federal immigration authorities."
You really should read the rather long and involved, but highly interesting,
Uncle Onyango saga at the New American and find out how a man can
avoid deportation for 50 years in spite of multiple arrests, over the years, for
selling alcohol to minors and obtain a Social Security card and driver’s
license.
Suffice it to say, being the relative of Barack Obama means never really having
to say you're sorry.
