A report came in to the news media saying that Obama's aunt was illegally living in South Boston. Further investigation of the matter was done. As it turned out, Obama's aunt had been living in America illegally for quite some time. In 2004, a official familiar with her specific case ordered her to leave. Somehow, she was able to allude this decree and remained in the United States.
Now, further investigation of this matter was brought onto the doorstep of Obama. When asked if he knew about his Aunt's immigration status, Obama commented by saying that he "didn't know her immigration status."
This immergence of new information regarding his Aunt's illegal immigration status 2 days before the election may prove to be somewhat difficult for Obama. I believe that if Obama doesn't follow his own rules for his immigration poilcy, it will look incredibly bad for him. How do you thnk this will affect his campaign? Do you think that it could affect voters' descision in whether to choose Obama or not?
