Is Laredo a world of its own?

well it seems that there has been a bad assumption. Just because some one has a Hispanic last name does not make them automatic an illegal.

There is a historical president in the The US taking over Latin American countries for other purposes than just to rule them. The best example is the Mexican American war. It was mainly a war over the border of Texas. US said it was the Rio Grand, Mexico said it was the Brazos river. So we fought a war all the way to Mexico City. We took over Mexico. But we didn't want Mexico we just want Texas and the other half of the nation. And that's what we got. Plus puppet governments are easy to run than local state government. Hope this helps.

It's great Harley riding country.  My brother was stationed there in the military...he loved it.  Lots of horse back riding, historical places, there's some rivers and other places for nature lovers.  It's also close enough to Texas-my brother crossed the border a few times for concerts, etc.  There's also lots of Native American Events in that region.

This is not the first time I have seen this question. I am here in Texas. I came down here to help a company with a Y2K project for a company which was run so poorly that none of the local talent wanted to expose themselves to the client. I ended up getting stuck here. While I have finally gotten to a point where the Texans don't shock me any longer, I can honestly tell you that Texas is a world unto itself. Good or bad it is what it is. The response that Bush is actually from New England is something you will hear allot down here, but as I try to tell them (as kindly as I can), Bush's management style is the worse of the Texas management which I have seen. His style is pure Texas oilman. And as you know Cheney is a Texan, too. The similarities between LBJ and W are not unusual when taken into consideration from a cultural point of view. LBJ gave us Vietnam and W gave us Iraq. LBJ fabricated the Tonkin Gulf incident, Bush fabricated the Iraqi threat. I appreciate your venting, but I don't think getting rid of Texas would do much good. It would only increase the land mass we would have to fence off.

Im not familiar with that town but oklahomas ok exceptfor the fact that its in the middle of tornado alley and twisters rip through there every so often, but I like the fact that it has a lot of native american history.

I would say that I do. I know that there are much more in other states than here in St Louis Missouri, but In my actual neighborhood is what they would consider "little Mexico", and has increased in the last few years, There are other towns near here with large populations of Chinese and Bosnian immigrants. I dont know how many are here legally, but I dont care much either.

There was a great seven-part series on PBS in 1992 for the 500th anniversary of Columbus' discovering "America", or more specifically the Western Hemisphere ala Santo Domingo.  Like many discoveries it was a happy accident in the pursuit of a shorter route to Asia, the spice route, and to India, hence the term the West Indies.  \n\nOne of the more fascinating aspects is the perception of European Exploration through the years.  At the 400th anniversary in the 1890's the west's attitude was one of the white race conquering primitive lands and civilizing the uncivilized.  Here in Chicago, the Columbian Exposition in 1893 showcased the progress of America with the most perfect "White City" as a commemoration of this event.  \n\nA mere 100 years later with political correctness more prevalent(Dances with Wolves as an example) we see more of how unique cultures have been lost to European greed and conquest.  Where was the celebration?  The event became more of a chance for the world to become introspective in examining the pros and cons of this discovery, and seemed to acknowledge plenty of each.\n\nWikipedia has additional observations -- see the link below.

I agree with you about the xenophobia phenomenon, like many occurrences in life these things tend to resurface in a cyclic fashion( nazis, KKK, minute men, crusaders,etc). What once happened will happen again. I'm not so sure about minute men being mexican americans since people of hispanic origin from Texas are texans not mexican americans, remember that they were there before Texas became a part of the USA. I'm not sure either whether Texas at any point in time abandoned its Republic status or it just was not taken into consideration for its annexation they still have a lonely star flag. So, in light of this consideration in case it is true that Texans of hispanic origin form part of the minute men they would be doing this as texans not as mexicans in any case it is xenophobic as well.Then again, it's just my point of view. Thanks.

Thats true...but not all puertorican mister, I'm a educated and want to see my country clean and sweep, but don't include all the puertoricans in your question.  All the trash and bad concept are being brought from states.  Go to the getto and look by yourself.  No generalizes, papa.  Y si eres boricua, no lo escondas.

I could say it's Mexico, but i haven't lived anyplace else.\nI know we have insecurity, the economy is not very stable, the salaries are low, but if you stay away of Mexico, D.F., you can find a lot of great and beautiful places to have a nice life. \nIf you are asking in order to find out if there are some other options, i can tell you that Monterrey is a modern, vigorous, economically growing citty wich is not as insecure as the D.F.\nAnd there are many little and beautiful citties where you can do little business - not big money - but live a peaceful life, like Queretaro, Guanajuato, San Miguel de Allende, wich are colonial citties; Cd del Carmen, if you like the ocean, Michoacan and Puebla that are sorrounded with wooded landscape. \nSo, i don't know if USA is the best country to live in, i've hardly been at Texas a couple of times, but i love Mexico and i've had a great life till now.

I not think that way. I try NEVER to stereotype people because of what another do. Texas like a second home to me. Got a lot of family and friends there.

I have only been to Mexico but I have been to quite a few states within; Tlaxcala, Puebla, Mexico, Chihuahua, Quintana Roo, Veracruz, Chiapas, Hidalgo, and Sinaloa. My husband and I traveled around a bit. I hope to go to some of the other latin american countries soon.

I don't know about Texas, but here in Florida students usually study abroad in Spain. I myself have been to Spain and it is absolutely gorgeous. Being the fact that you've lived in Texas your entire life, a Spanish country might suite you well. Spain truly is magnificant.
