In the video: I-35 Welcome to Laredo sign, last major truck stop on I-35 before reaching Laredo, very last three miles of I-35 before entering Laredo and turning into US 83, Downtown Laredo border crossing into Nuevo Laredo, Mexico, driving by the border fence with a super large Mexican flag in the background (sadly no such large American Flag on the Texas side!!!), Border Patrol vehicles making sure no illegal activities from Mexico into Texas, a large shopping mall and at the end somo photos of Rio Grande, de facto the International Border between United States of AMERICA and Mexico.
Interstate 35 en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Interst... from Duluth, MN and very close to Canadian border all the way south to Laredo, TX and Mexico border.

Most of the people in Laredo speak Spanish anytime and anywhere in their life, at home, at work, on the street, retail stores, etc.
As told by some Spanish & English-speaking locals, around 5% of Laredo residents do not speak Spanish at all.
All Spanish-speaking people in Laredo are either Mexican nationals or Texas (legal or illegal) residents of Mexican or Central America (Guatemala, Honduras, El Salvador) descent.
Visit Laredo, Texas, United States of AMERICA but if you don't speak Spanish at all you'll have a hard time settling permanently in that area including finding a decent and well-paid job.
And if you happen to legally own and carry firearms in your car (my case) don't even think of crossing the border into Mexico!
Enjoy Laredo, Texas, United States of AMERICA!
U.S State Department travel warning for State of Tamaulipas, Mexico (entire border area from Laredo to Brownsville): DO NOT TRAVEL!!!
travel.state.gov/content/trav...
"Tamaulipas state - Level 4: Do Not Travel
Do not travel due to crime and kidnapping.
Violent crime, such as murder, armed robbery, carjacking, kidnapping, extortion, and sexual assault, is common. Gang activity, including gun battles and blockades, is widespread. Armed criminal groups target public and private passenger buses as well as private automobiles traveling through Tamaulipas, often taking passengers hostage and demanding ransom payments. Federal and state security forces have limited capability to respond to violence in many parts of the state.
U.S. government employees may only travel within a limited radius between the U.S. Consulates in Nuevo Laredo and Matamoros and their respective U.S. Ports of Entry. U.S. government employees may not travel between cities in Tamaulipas using interior Mexican highways and they must observe a curfew between midnight and 6:00 a.m. in the cities of Matamoros and Nuevo Laredo."
