JMO of what Tom Tancredo is saying, Miami, hispanic spanish speaking cesspool, Detroit, they be speaking an English dialect, Ebonics. Detroit are good, especially since there be no Spanish speakers and they be represented by John Conyers.

[MNJohnnie]

Intresting is it not how Tancreado always attacks fellow Republicans. Never attacks the Democrats on anything. Maybe he should switch partys.

[BallyBill]

I didn't even know Miami was in Colorado.

[L98Fiero]

I've spent time in Miami and Atlanta in the last year.

I'll take Miami anyday.

"The 6th District of Colorado resembles a Third World Country."
--Rep. Tom Tancredo [running for election]

[Irontank]

Celebrate diversity? When is the American elite going to grow up enough to confront and admit politically incorrect facts?...Broad ethnic and racial diversity is bad for any community...as this liberal Harvard professor discovered through his own research

Study paints bleak picture of ethnic diversity

[wideawake]

What an utter, utter clown Tancredo is.

He needs to get the last word no matter how foolish he looks.

[seacapn]

Tancredo has a point about the crime rate (perhaps Jeb's single biggest failure, in my opinion, is his inability to bring down the murder/violent crime rate), but anyone who has spent time in real third-world cities like Caracas or Bogota or Port-au-Prince will understand that Miami is NOT a 'third-world' city under most definitions of that term.

"Happy talk" is better than crazy talk.

[zbigreddogz]

Perhaps Jeb wouldn't need 'Happy Talk' if Tom didn't seem to engage in so much 'Stupid Talk'.

[NonValueAdded]

Seems to me Colorado isn't exactly white bread any more. Perhaps Tancredo should deal with his own problems before worrying about Florida.

[colorado tanker]

Tancredo violated the First Rule of Holes.

Quit digging, Tom.

[chiefqc]

Another class act from an a-hole elected offical ready to serve the voters in Washington.

[twonie]

No, Tancredo's next junket should be to the statue of liberty, not to read the inscription (penned, if I be not mistaken, by a Communist poet) but to remove said inscription, if not the entire statue.

[Gideon Reader]

Tom Tancredo has the gift of craping on whatever miniscule chances he may have had for office beyond his backbench seat in Colorado.

Other than comments I have made regarding this geographic area of Tancredo's Worldview, I spent a career in local and Federal law enforcement in and around Florida with the focus on South Florida where the City of Miami. (if THAT is what Tiny Tom has been referring to so narrowly and narrow mindedly)is located.

I am aware of no major or massive illegal immigration problem of the "flood nature" called to point by Rep.Tancredo.

The major influx and threat to the shores of Florida from outside our waters has been the Haitian migration.
That is an ongoing and continual situation that has been a manageable circumstance, with the human survival of migrants being the most stressing area.

Widespread migration from Cuba is not a major threat to management of said migration, and has not been since the 1980 Mariel Boatlift, when Castro at the invitation of Jimmy Carter flooded Florida with many criminals and persons who opposed his regime.
Statutes specifically geared for the Cuban migration has not posed a problem to the sound management of that migration.

There are obviously illegal aliens who have come to Florida through means other than boats or aircraft.
That is a fact of life whether the locale is Florida, Colorado, or Vermont, or elsewhere.
It is a problem that has NOT been addressed by the Federal government whose job it is to address such problems.
The land border crossing points and areas of border breach of Texas, New Mexico, Arizona and California appear to be the Achilles heel of unlawful immigrant management.

There are a lot of people who speak Spanish in South Florida. There are somewhat less people who, in certain self selecting neighborhoods, speak Ivrit (Hebrew). And Portuguese, and Italian, and Creole, and English.

But any language whether spoken with facility or hesitation does not a criminal make. Not a backward and economically depressed or malaria ridden, or clean drinking water deprived, nor dangerous "Third World" sort of place.

Municipal governments in the South Florida have provided fun and scorn for fifty or more years and is a form of abuse not enjoyed by communities in EVERY state in varying degrees, of incompetence and mis/mal and non administration..
So what exactly is the sum of the sadly sung song; "Tancredo's Blues".

He is unhappy with languages other than English spoken in Miami? Whose English? My English? Blackeese or Enbonic English?
New Yorkese? New Jersey English? OK. No accents? How about English English? London? Manchester?,Liverpool? all have strong regional accents and a glossary is needed to understand many conversations.
Rep.Tancredo want an all English speaking First World City lie,...? Like,...? Well. I just don't know what or where such a city is located. Not on this continent.
One would think that Mr.Tancredo would have enough on his plate providing representation to his own specific geographic area which I am quite sure has it's share of economic, social and demographic problems requiring the attention of it's congressional representative.

But it appears that that is not to be. Mr.Tancredo is surely as full of crap as the proverbial Christmas Turkey, and it seems that Tom Tancredo is auditioning for the part of the not ready for prime time Turkey itself.

[livius]

Tancredo is such a jerk. And a grandstanding jerk, at that. I say this as a Florida resident.

[bert]

Tancredo is the Republican equivalent of Charlie Wrangel. He can't keep his mouth shut.

[r9etb]

"Weeellllll, Tom Tancredo......"

"Perhaps (Tancredo's) next junket should be to read the inscription on the Statue of Liberty, along with a stop at Ellis Island," (Frank Nero) said

Perhaps Mr. Nero ought to spend less time fantasizing about Ellis Island and the Statue of Liberty and more time worrying about enforcing US Laws and the continuing gutting and destruction of America by illegal aliens and multiculturalism crapola?
