Last month Colorado Congressman Tom Tancredo said Miami is like a third world country. Even Jeb Bush took him to task.
But Tancredo will visit Key Biscayne Thursday to give a talk. His topic: the need for immigrants to assimilate.
Why is he going? How about attention:
Tancredo spokesman Carlos Espinosa...said Tancredo wasn't worried about whatever reception he will get in the Miami area.....ny protests or controversy will only draw more attention to the event, he said.
"It's always entertaining. It'll add to the flair of Miami," Espinosa said. "I really do hope we get some protesters. Otherwise, what else are we going for?"

Tom Tancredo Calls Miami A Third World Country
Is there nothing Tom Tancredo won't do for a soundbite?
He's now called Miami a "third world country."
In South Florida to attend Restoration Weekend, a gathering of conservative activists, the Colorado Republican, whose district includes suburbs of Denver, pointed to Miami as an example of how ''the nature of America can be changed by uncontrolled immigration,'' the story says.
''Look at what has happened to Miami,'' the WorldNetDaily quotes Tancredo as saying in an interview. ``It has become a Third World country. You just pick it up and take it and move it someplace. You would never know you're in the United States of America. You would certainly say you're in a Third World country.''
Talk about viewing the world through a cracked lens.
