"...theone with the worst problem."

OK...I'll play.

Which one has the worst problem?

HEY!!!

Isn't Colorado Tom's State?

It has nearly twice as many illegal aliens per capita as Florida does!!!

Why the hell isn't Tom cleaning his OWN DAMNED HOUSE before he talks about how someone else's windows needs washing?

Re: the relatively modest numbers of illegal aliens in Florida.

Miami does have a terrible problem with massive numbers of unassimilated immigrants. Comparing the STATE of Colorado with the STATE of Florida obscures this problem by mingling immigrant-dominated Miami with the rest of the state, which is very traditional Dixie.

Even so, the problem of unassimilated immigrants in Florida is far, far worse than the deceptive numbers suggest. Legal immigrants are typically required to hold jobs, know English, learn civics, etc. Tancredo was holding up Miami as an example of the effects of unassmiliating immigration. In this regard, Miami's immigrants are very exceptional, in that most were given normalized status through prior amnesties or special refugee status. Legal or not, they do not meet normal immigration standards.
