Obama returns aunt's donation after illegal immigrant report
Barack Obama's White House campaign said Saturday it was returning a
small donation from his Boston-based Kenyan aunt after questions were
raised over her US immigration status.

Aides said Obama had not been in touch with his late father's sister,
Zeituni Onyango, 56, for at least four years, and questioned reporting
about her residency status so close to Tuesday's election against
Republican John McCain.

Obama spokesman Ben LaBolt said the campaign was returning 265 dollars
donated by the aunt to her nephew's White House bid.

Foreigners cannot donate money to US presidential candidates. But
aides refused to say whether returning the money was an
acknowledgement that the aunt was an illegal alien.

"Given the information that has been brought to our attention, the
contributions are being refunded," LaBolt said in a statement, without
elaborating.

Obama's chief strategist David Axelrod would not comment on the aunt's
immigration status but said Obama last met her for sure at his Senate
inauguration ceremony in 2004.

"It's not a real close relationship. They have not been in close
touch," he told reporters after Obama addressed 15,000 supporters in
Henderson, Nevada.

Axelrod ascribed ulterior motives to the revelations after The
Associated Press reported that Onyango had remained living in Boston
despite having her request for asylum rejected by an immigration judge
four years ago.

"The American people are pretty suspicious of things that are dumped
in the marketplace 72 hours out from election day," the top aide said.

In a separate statement, Obama spokesman Bill Burton said: "Senator
Obama has no knowledge of her status but obviously believes that any
and all appropriate laws be followed."

The Immigration and Customs Enforcement refused to confirm or deny the
report about Onyango, who is part of a large extended family on
Obama's father's side spread across Kenya, the United States and
Europe.

"We do not discuss the details of any individual's status or their
case," ICE spokeswoman Kelly Nantel in Washington told AFP.
