LAREDO, TEXAS, USA
My very last video before the Nov 8, 2016 U.S. Election for POTUS, Congress and State Governors.
On my part, I urge any Proud Patriotic American who deeply loves his/her country to VOTE TRUMP for POTUS and GOP for rest of the ballot.
In some 24+ hours we'll know who's the 45th POTUS.

Laredo, Texas, border town with Nuevo Laredo, Mexico, except govt officials I don't think more than 10% of local residents speak any English therefore if you happen not to speak Spanish, this is not the place for moving or working in this very place.
For just visiting, a very safe place, pretty much no gun violence on this side of the border.
Visit and enjoy City of Laredo, Texas, USA.
