While Laredo will always embrace its Mexican heritage, the city is equally as proud to be a part of the great state of Texas, firmly within the United States boundary.

Much like Ellis Island in the east and San Francisco to the west, Laredo is a major point of entry into the United States. It is a beacon of hope that welcomes with open arms all those who aspire to the great American legacy and wish to further the American way in any capacity.

While a negative hyperbolic image of Laredo tarnishes its good name an outcry for a response has been welling in the city and amongst its many advocates.
