"Federal privacy law restricts U.S. immigration agencies from disclosing information about citizens and permanent residents, and DHS policy similarly limits disclosures about the status of legal and illegal immigrants. Asylum-seekers are granted greater protection, because of the sensitive nature of their claims and the risks of retaliation".

Of course, this administration has never really been concerned about anyone's privacy....Also, the timing of this story is highly questionable.....

That's what you should be outraged at. She has no legal right to be in this country, yet you and I and paying for the roof over her head.

I especially enjoyed the fact she stated  the Boston housing authority as her employer..
Proof we have too much inept government, as even a simple minded Government would not be paying rent, for someone who has been expelled from the country..

I heard a bit about this on the news yesterday. It never ceases to surprise me how during an election every little bit of information about a candidate, their family and friends can be dug up in order to try to sway votes. The whole thing about John McCain and his black lineage due to slavery was also really interesting to see unfold on the news just as this issue with Obama's aunt is the hot topic when discussing the extended family of candidates this week.

Didn't say thing about INS disclosing the info to AP. They found on themselves, it is not that difficult if you want to.

WaPO another OB mouth piece and the can for OB so, they creating this on their own.

Where was the outrage with "Joe the plumber" that was done by the Obama campaign and his supporters, this was done by the AP.  Nothing to do with administration so get a clue....

Moose doesn't care about fair play, He's just pissed because more dirt about HIS guy came out.

If this was some dirt about McCain he wouldn't care what the source was, he would be too eager to broadcast the news to everyone.
