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."

"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.

[Zathras]

Of course thats why the French are so eager to add more imigrants.
Belly up to the bar again, Swimmer.

“Americas downfall” not critical - as long as Kennedy has a hand, foot any other other parts in it. After almost 45 years of watching Teddy, I’m skeptical of anything he is for and every thing that has his name attached to it.

If these people are capable of such violence, they must be rounded up and deported IMMEDIATELY!!!

I'm speechless.

Get over it Ted, you will never be a JFK or an RFK. You will always be the drink ba$tard that left a young woman to drown. Which is exactly the same thing you will do to this country of given the chance.

[AM2000]

Muslims in India feel “included”? Teddy is ignorant.

[massgopguy]

Has he ever heard of Kashmir?

Kennedy: Immigration Reform Critical to National Security

Well - the drunk is right about that. However, this bill is not critical to national security. He's got his gin mixed up with his vodka.

[nyconse]

What a stupid idiot Kennedy is...there have been numerous terror incidents in India.

[Diogenesis]

That's it. Kennedy exudes contact obliviousness.

But your latest idea to have HAMAS from Gaza replace TSA Inspectors is truly inspired."
