By KEN MAGUIRE Associated Press Writer BOSTON -- U.S. Sen. Edward Kennedy said Monday that failing to pass immigration reforms would push illegal immigrants into isolation and create breeding grounds for homegrown terrorists.
Kennedy pointed to several European countries where he said alienation and immigration problems has led to terrorist acts. "Just look what happened in Great Britain, with the isolation of the communities," Kennedy said at a meeting of the Greater Boston Chamber of Commerce. "Look what has happened in France. Look what has happened in Germany. Look where the cells are in terms of al-Qaida. They're all in different communities, which failed to assimilate individuals."
The Massachusetts Democrat is a leading proponent, along with President Bush, of legislation that would grant millions of illegal immigrants lawful status, while tightening border security and creating new measures for weeding illegal workers off of job sites. The legislation has stalled in Congress amid criticism -- especially from conservatives -- that it gives lawbreakers amnesty.
But Kennedy said passing such legislation was critical to the country's national security, among other arguments.
"Why is it that virtually no Muslims in India are members of al-Qaida. Has anybody asked that question?," Kennedy asked. "It's because they all feel they're included."
kennnedeeee, he is full of bull plain and simple. What in theeee hell does he know about it? Just like all the others they sit behind high walls with all kinds of protection. It’s US out here that h ave to worry. Kennnedeee should just sit down and shut up!!!
Here is a link to a list of the PAC contributions Kennedy received during the last cycle. Note the larger sums are on the bottom, and the smaller ones on the top, with multiple donations listed separately by amount: http://capwiz.com/nclr/bio/fec/?id=297&cycle=2005-2006
Only if you let them stay fat ted. On the other hand if you make it hard enough for them to live here the vast majority will leave on their own. Those that remain can be rounded up one by one.
I really can’t decide who is more stupid: Kennedy, who believes that Muslims will be nice if we let them in; or Ron Paul, who thinks Al Qaeda attacked us because we were occupying the Middle East.
The only immigration we need is to kill this bill and to deport the illegals back to their own countries and to build that fence and not just part of it.
It’s really very simple.
Really. Also, has he ever heard the word “partition”? Does he know why Pakistan exists? It is amazing the magnitude of ignorance he takes for granted when he says things like that. And even more amazing that he gets away with it.
Ted, try to keep up huh?

My, oh, my, little Jack Horner Kennedy has his thumb in a LOT of pies, doesn’t he?!?
National Security??????
Hey swimmer... your last attempt created this Alien mess back in 86...The best thing you could do to help us with national security is drop dead and take your latest national amnesty snowjob to hell with you.
Actually, a windmill farm just off of Teddy’s compound is more important for national security.
This is the funniest phony claim yet coming out about this bill. Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha. I can’t stop laughing. This would make a good Comedy Channel routine.
ethos? No.
logos? No.
pathos? Yeah, he’s pretty pathetic.
You might try putting on a neck brace when you say that, Ted.
Go with what you know.
Did you see where they accidentally deported a legal immigrant to Mexico? It seems to me that if they can do it accidentally, they could actually TRY and send the 12 to 30 million illegals back.
Immigration Reform Critical to National Security
Why, yes it is, fat boy, but not the reform YOU want.
foflol!
Good one, potlatch!
“Has he ever heard of Kashmir?”
Sure he has. It’s the special $800 an ounce wool that they make his knickbockers out of.
Remember “East” Pakistan?
Thank you nic!
