South Texas city on the Rio Grande directly across from Nuevo Laredo, Mexico — the busiest US-Mexico land port by trade volume (cross-border commercial truck traffic is enormous). Downtown Laredo (around the historic Plaza San Agustín) and the area near the World Trade Bridge are the typical anchors. US has no DNV; ESTA 90 days. Texas has no state income tax. The structural draws are cross-border commerce employment density and a 95%+ Hispanic / Mexican-American cultural environment (Spanish is the de facto first language). Border-security volatility patterns are real.
