Miami, Fla exceeds the national average in all crime categories, violent and property.
And we were having such a good time slamming Tancredo--before those stubborn facts got involved. Again.
There are foreigners in NYC?
I disagree with Tom Tancredo on this one. Miami is not a country, it's a city.
That'll leave a mark....
Let's not get too carried away from something via the 'Palm Beach Post'.
Sad pic of what once must have been a nice place.
The better question would be if there are a substantial number of Americans left in that city. The descendants of the 19th and early 20th Century immigrants who gave New York its character and urban culture are mostly in the suburbs or in the rest of the country.
There was only one branch of goverment that wanted to secure the border and that was the house of representatives. The Republican members of the house voted in December of 2005 to secure the border. But the voters threw the Republicans out of control in November of 2006.
The Democrats have always been for an open border with Mexico for years. Even Ronald Reagan was for opening the border with Mexico. What part of the the Democrats won a big victory escapes you. Bush would be a fool not to read the election returns.
If you wanted to close the Mexican border you should have gotten the voters to elect the candidates that wanted to close the border instead of electing those that want to open the border.
The truth is there is not much support for closing the border as many house members found out when they counted the votes.
That picture is repeated 10's of thousands of times in Detroit, but does Tom Tancredo have a bad word to say about that.
Nope.
Double Dittoes!
Colorado * Aurora, CO

* Denver, CO
* Federal Heights, CO
* Fort Collins CO
* Thornton, CO
* Westminster, CO
Are they all "third world cities," too?
Purdy.
Once an 1880s mansion. Now a 2006 crack house.
ROFLMAO!
BTTT.
Every time I drive the 2 hour, or so, trek to Miami I come close to ageeing with the Coloradan's comment. My impression is that the city prides itself on being an oasis of multi-everything as an adjunct to mainland USA.
Q) Whats the difference between Miami amd Cancun?
A)They speak english in Cancun
