(CBS4) MIAMI Republican Representative Tom Tancredo, of Colorado, will not make a speech and appearance before the Miami Rotary Club in Miami Thursday after threats were reported. However, it’s still not known whether the congressman, who called Miami a “Third World country” has cancelled his trip to Miami altogether.

The manager of the restaurant where Tancredo was to speak, The Rusty Pelican on Key Biscayne, said Wednesday that the owners didn’t want him to appear on Thursday in order to keep up the integrity and reputation of the business. The manager also said staff members objected to working the party where his immigration talk was supposed to be held, some customers threatened to boycott the restaurant, and the restaurant had received bomb threats.

Tancredo became a controversial figure in Miami, and sparked a tense exchange with Florida Governor Jeb Bush last month, when he compared Miami to a “Third World country” due to the large number of immigrants living there.

He said that immigrants who came to Miami, both legal and illegal, have not learned English and live in insular communities with high crime rates and low high school graduation rates. That has made parts of the city and surrounding areas like a Third World country, he said.
