[edit] Wrong name

As per the Port's website (http://www.miamidade.gov/portofmiami/home.asp), it is the Port of Miami, not the Port of Miami-Dade, and I cannot find any citation on the port's website that it is named after Rep. Fascell. Since the article has been at this name for over two years, I'm going to wait for a week or so before moving the article to the correct name, and hopefully someone can answer why it's here, instead of Port of Miami.

I have corrected the name and moved the article to its correct location. Horologium (talk) 16:46, 10 April 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Narcotics Information

Its patently absurd to suggest that 80% of narcotics in the United States enter via the Port of Miami. That statement should be given a citation promptly or it will be removed. 70.117.149.39 (talk) 23:46, 25 March 2008 (UTC)

I missed that; it was added by an IP editor who seems to have a fixation on drugs and violence. I have removed the statement. Horologium (talk) 00:02, 26 March 2008 (UTC)
