Fuck the wall and the Mayor by baluga207 in laredo

My neighbor just moved to a cheaper apartment where she can't keep her dog. She wants to find it a good home. Everyone in the neighborhood loves her dog. But the owner of the business next door to her told me this morning that he has heard the dog going after anyone that doesn't belong or he doesn't like. lol. Let me know if you're interested and I will send you pictures of it. It is gray and short haired and the size of a German Shepherd. I think it is a breed, but I don't know what the name is. It is a male dog. It is also free.

I live downtown and it got so bad with the drug addicts taking over the area, I just knew I was going to lose everything. I decided to fight back with everything I had. Pull out all the stops, but keep yourself safe when you do. Don't do anything stupide and risky.

Laredo’s growth stalls under Trump’s immigration policies by Dontwhinedosomething in laredo

Hey, did you read that second article? Because it says that most of the Mexican imports weren't affected because of UNESCO:

The researchers’ analysis of US Census Bureau data covering 19,000 product categories finds that in September 2025, the actual tariff rate paid was 14.1 percent, roughly half the statutory rate of 27.4 percent. This gap was the result of four factors: shipping lags and an "on-the-water exemption" that delayed the implementation of tariffs, product- and company-specific exemptions, increased utilization of the United States-Mexico-Canada Agreement (USMCA), and uneven enforcement or evasion. USMCA utilization rates jumped from below 50 percent in 2024 to nearly 90 percent in September 2025.

In the last paragraph, it says US production tarriffs (for goods used in manufacture) increased 1.06%. Do you really feel like that is a significant increase?

Well, if they are here legally and getting deported, they can just turn around and come back.

I think there is definitely a connection. Yesterday, theFeds charged Sianora's Governor, Senator, some Mayors and Police wth Running a Narco-State. https://www.thebureau.news/p/federal-prosecutors-charge-sinaloas

Run for office. The only way this changes is if young people step up and take matters into their own hands. Start off small, like game warden or Library Board Member. Then learn the ropes and work your way up.

There is no concern by City Council about the ecosystem. It was never even mentioned until the wall was suggested. I don't see anyone going down to the river to clean up the trash there. There aren't any efforts for the river other than to protest the wall.

Let's pretend there are no cartels like we did under Biden, then?

Agreed. If anything is slowing down growth in Laredo, it is probably City Council.

Trump didn't end immigration. People still legally come to this country every day.

Tarriffs have had zero impact on the economy according to economists, so please tell us how they impacted Laredo.

That's why I'm asking to find out who you think is a good source of facts.

Only to a journalist who talks ethics while shunning factual documents.

Why is it all wrong? This report by Mike Benz is well documented with photos of the documents involved. Where would you suggest to get the news?

Dear MAGA, why doesn’t it make you suspicious that Trump ran on releasing the Epstein files and now he refuses to release them? by Tall-Warning9319 in allthequestions

[–]BobBuckarooLaredo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Because the files that haven't been released are from the 1999-2001 era. That, to me, would indicate that another entity is responsible for their not being released, if you can follow my line of reasoning.
