Nothing like hearing the opinion of a local.

It appears that U.S. Rep. Tom Tancredo is right on target when he referred to Miami as a Third World country.

Think about this: We, American citizens, are becoming a minority in our own country. The elected politicians are afraid of the radical groups -- or is it because we have too many Spanish elected officials? Since when did speaking your mind in America become dangerous?

Jeb Bush may call Rep. Tancredo "naive," but it is Gov. Bush who is restricted in his mental capacity.

It is unacceptable when a political leader is barred from speaking the facts about cultural assimilation and bilingualism. We should not have to push 1 for English. We should not have to shop and hear nothing but the babble of Spanish. This is America and our language is English.

Shame on Randy Palmer, the general manager of the Rusty Pelican, for lacking the courage to stand strong for America. His statement, "We thought it would be in everyone's best interests to not permit Congressman Tancredo to speak" at his restaurant is clearly understood because he knew he would lose a major portion of his business since this is a Third World country.

Fortunately, we do have a lot of Americans who have the courage to stand strong on this issue. This is a serious issue and needs to be addressed correctly and positively.

Yes, this is very scary. We need more brave politicians like Tancredo to speak up or we may be witnessing the downfall of our country. I don't know how some politicians sleep at night or they are so insulated in their bubble worlds they refuse to accept what is going on? Or they have their own agendas to follow which is scary too.

We need all Americans to speak up!

In the year 2000 and maybe before that, and may still be, Miami had the largest gap between wages earned and the cost of living out of any other major city in the US--something you can directly blame on the Cubans working for less and not demanding equal pay. Found that tidbit on the web at the Bureau of Statistics.

TANCREDO FOR PRESIDENT!!!

I remember that Rockfish. I'm sure that we can safely assume that this has only become worse since 2000.
