[FoxNews] A jury in South Bend, Indiana has found that fraud put President B.O. and Hillary Clinton ... sometimes described as The Heroine of Tuzla and at other times as Mrs. Bill, never as Another Al Haig ... on the presidential primary ballot in Indiana in the 2008 election. Two Democratic boodlers were convicted Thursday night in the illegal scheme after only three hours of deliberations. They were found guilty on all counts.
Former longtime St. Joseph County Democratic party Chairman Butch Morgan Jr. was found guilty of felony conspiracy counts to commit petition fraud and forgery, and former county Board of Elections worker Dustin Blythe was found guilty of felony forgery counts and falsely making a petition, after being accused of faking petitions that enabled Obama, then an Illinois Senator, to get on the presidential primary ballot for his first run for the White House.
According to testimony from two former Board of Election officials who pled guilty, Morgan ordered Democratic officials and workers to fake the names and signatures that Obama and Clinton needed to qualify for the presidential race. Blythe, then a Board of Elections employee and Democratic Party volunteer, was accused of forging multiple pages of the Obama petitions.
Immigration reform would make terrorism more difficult, not easier, according to two Republican senators who helped draft the Senate bill under consideration.
Sen. Lindsay Graham, R-S.C., in a briefing before the U.S. Chamber of Commerce Immigration Summit, said having 11 million people hiding in America is less safe than bringing them out and registering them as registered aliens and eventual citizens.
Youll never convince me leaving them in the shadows, some who may be here for terrorist purposes, is smart national security, Graham said. We cant shut America off. I think what we are doing is going to make situations like in Boston less likely to happen.
Last week, following the Boston marathon bombings, a firestorm erupted on whether immigration reform should be put on hold after it became known the suspected bombers were immigrants.
Given the events of this week, its important for us to understand the gaps and loopholes in our immigration system, Sen. Chuck Grassley, R-Iowa, said at the first immigration hearing last Friday. While we dont yet know the immigration status of people who have terrorized the communities in Massachusetts, when we find out it will help shed light on the weaknesses of our system. How can individuals evade authority and plan such attacks on our soil?
Conservative commentator Ann Coulter went even further with a tweet that referred to Sen. Marco Rubio, R-Fla., a proponent of the Senate immigration proposal: Its too bad Suspect # 1 wont be able to be legalized by Marco Rubio, now.
Sen. John McCain, R-Ariz., said Friday he was befuddled by the allegations that immigration reform should be reexamined following Boston attacks. He said a new computer that tracks visas and passport information would actually take better care of who is entering and leaving the country.
Its a compelling argument for better identifying people who leave and enter this country, McCain said. I think that the whole system of better border enforcement, e-verify system, better help us account for people in this country and their activities.
After 9/11, it was learned that two of the hijackers had overstayed their visas and would have been identified as being in the country illegally had the proposed system been in place 12 years ago, Graham said at the summit.

Remember robbery, rape, assault, murder, vehicular homicide are not classified as terrorism. Tally up the body count since 9/11 and guess who's done the most damage to the America public. Doing the work that Americans won't.

But that would mean someone in government would have to send:
a) CIS Agents,
b) A GS-04 to the last 'known addresses' to talk to the two,
c) A GS-04 to the last 'known addresses' to counsel the two and advise them of the vast number of social services in place to assist them,
d) Certified Letters to the two at the last 'known addresses', telling the two to report to a given office, at a defined four-hour window of time, 180 days from receipt of the aforementioned letter.
