After his drunken driving arrest in 2011, the world was introduced to President Obama’s beleaguered, 68-year old uncle, Onyango Obama, who has lived in the United States illegally since his teens.

His official deportation hearing date was announced yesterday, and Mr. Obama’s lawyer, Scott Bratton, has high hopes his client will be allowed to remain in the country. “Everybody wants to stay in America,” he said at a press conference.

President Obama apparently agrees wholeheartedly, as he continues to urge Congress to include amnesty for the more than 11 million illegals currently residing here as a key facet of comprehensive immigration reform.
