WASHINGTON - Rep. Tom Tancredo, the leader of the anti-illegal immigration faction in the U.S. House, spent a recent weekend at The Breakers in Palm Beach.

Ninety miles to the south, he found a symbol to bolster his belief that unfettered immigration is endangering the United States: Miami, he told a conservative online news site, ``has become a Third World country.''

Isn't Miami's immigrant population largely Cuban?

1. A lot of Haitians there now.

And a lot of Puerto Ricans, Columbians, etc.

2. it is so bad truckers have to stop in safe areas and call for a window of arrival, if you miss it

you have to wait a logn time for another.. to get into the lot.

3. I somehow doubt Tancredo includes the right-wing corrupt politics in the blame

for Miamis plight.
