Kennedy: Immigration Reform Critical to National Security
fox 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.”

This guy is oblivious to reality. Islamic violence is widespread in India. Has he ever heard of Kashmir? And um Ted please DO try to keep up!!!!
Al-Qaida declares holy war on India

And then there is France and of course thats why the French are not eager to add more imigrants. Belly up to the bar again, Swimmer. This is the funniest phony claim yet coming out about this bill.
This man has lost his marbles–each and every one of them!
And yes, there is Al Qaeda in India–we just don’t hear about it.
I’m tired of this “let’s all be friends and go get ice cream at the end of the game” attitude.
It’s leading to our downfall.
We can’t and we shouldn’t try to please everyone.
Do we give our children everything they want? No.
While it’s nice to have friends, it’s also important to watch your back. A friend could stab you in the back when you aren’t looking.
How can Teddy use European countries as examples. They allowed too much unrestricted immigration and that’s how they’ve gotten into the condition they’re in. He wants us to do the same exact thing.
It’s not the countries responsibility to assimilate people, it’s the immigrants responsibility. Your immigrating to a country, they’re not asking you to come. It’s your responsibility to learn the language and customs. But, why should Hispanics assimilate when everything is made so they don’t have to. All instructions are now in English/Spanish. School districts are required to hire Spanish speaking teachers and Hospitals are required to have Spanish speaking people on duty in Emergency rooms.
They surely have no argument, the UK has a very porous immigration to the point where the ‘perps’ of 7-7, left London to attend training camps in Afghanistan only to come back and commit acts of terror. Yet no one knew where they had gone or when they came back.
France has a system of a sieve they have no idea who is there or who leaves, what kind of a system of checks and balances is this.
Kennedy again has his facts screwed up but like all of his strawman arguments they are molded to fit what he is trying to sell, this time it is the end of the United States.
Good fences make good neighbors, Kennedy knows this all his property is fenced in, with security cameras and sensing devices to warn of a violation. It is ok for him to be secure but not the rest of the country.
But the hypocrisy of the Liberal is such that they think we should have to put up with it but not them.
I am really tired of this one sided thinking where the ‘little people’ are constantly asked to brunt every storm and foot every bill that they come up with for our own good.
Screw them ! This bill is garbage.
I thought Foster Brooks had passed away???
I just can’t let this go.” The lights are on but
no one’s home”…
Yes Al-Qaeda in India,But Kashmir alone is not India..Only in Kashmir you could find Al-Qaeda members,in other places Muslims are secured and living normal live than anywhere in the world..In India you could find Hindu,Muslims,Christians,Buddhas and some other religions all are feel they are Indians..
Kennedy rationalizes like he drives over bridges. Each of his statements is 180 degrees off. Indian trains and stations blow up and he doesn’t consider that terrorism. If we just let everyone in they will all be to happy and asimilated to be terrorists??
Like Mark says, Kennedy’s personal border is fenced and his property rights protected. I am sure that if a bunch of drunken bums snuck onto his estate, the drunks would feel assimilated.
IS GEORGE W. BUSH going to pardon Scooter Libby? Is George Bush a man of compassion? Do you believe Jimmy Carter would have already pardone Scooter Libby? Personally, I am very puzzled about this issue. Seriously, one would suppose that the VP would be whispering in George’s ear: George, pardon him…he’s not that bad, really. He’s not excactly another Manson. C’mon, George, give the guy a break…You can see that the Wilsons are getting a thrill out of watching Scooter suffer.
That lowlife murderer and coward killed Mary Jo Kopechne on this day in 1969 in one of his infidelities to his wife, he got away with murder. How can I or any patriotic American respect that scum of the earth who was spawned by a rumrunning gutless coward and Hitler supporter who sacrificed both his older sons for political gain in WWII, Joe then bought a safe haven for Teddy Boy during the Korean War as an MP in the U.S.Army. What’s even worse is he’s a respected member of the United States Senate just like his traitorous buddy, John F. Kerry.
Pvt. Ted Kennedy doesn’t have the credentials to make even an uneducated guess as to what this country needs let alone his giving it away to foreign nationals in a general Mexican amnesty. Kennedy has no personal investment in this nation because he has never had to defend or protect it nor has he had to earn his way, the whole clan is protected with their trust funds.
Robert, what does Scooter Libby have to do with this post??
2006.06.19 “No Illegal Left Behind” Roundup
See previous: 2006.06.18 No Illegal Left Behind Roundup House Republicans introduce immigration bill The measure, a rebuke to Bush, would bar amnesty for illegal immigrants and require legal-status checks for all workers. WASHINGTON — In a sharp rebuk…
What a clueless moron. That’s all I have to say on him.
Lynn, that is a perfect way to say it, he sure has lost his marbles. Even if he only read the news he would know better then to say such a thing.
Bob, yes it is just the weirdest,stupidist thing I have heard so far. Does he think we are stupid enough to believe him, I have to wonder. sheesh
Mark me too, I agree so much with all you said and this describes it so perfectly.
“I am really tired of this one sided thinking where the ‘little people’ are constantly asked to brunt every storm and foot every bill that they come up with for our own good.”……
Tincan Sailor …LMAO those are great.
Tom exactly, here Kennedy sits with his own place fenced in and he wants to open the gates to illegals for the rest of us to deal with. Burning forrests down, murdering etc. so many things to many to mention but he will be safe and gather up the votes from them for sure.
robert l. huffstutter, what? Not sure what you think Libby has to do with this at all.
But NO I doubt Bush will pardon Libby, I doubt he even thinks about it.
Jack, thanks and your right too he doesn’t have a clue about defending this country and any of the other things you mentioned. He is pathetic!
razOr clueless moron is right. hahaha
Maybe uncle ted should google: muslim violence in India.
Where is he getting his misinformation from; CAIR????
