If the people in charge of monitoring recipients of low income housing didn't know, my guess is that Obama didn't either. For real. Given his position as a U. S. Senator, he would have been in a position to intervene on her behalf, like thousands of other elected officials have done for various people and issues through the years. I haven't heard anything to indicate that he did, so I suspect she kept her status a well guarded secret. If living in this country meant a lot to me, I'd try to stay under the radar as long as possible, too. What I can't tell is whether she originally entered legally or not.
