City of Laredo Mayor Raul Salinas Publicly Condemns “Why Sara Hates Laredo” Viral Video

Yesterday, Laredo Mayor Raul Salinas went on record to publicly condemn the viral "Sara Hates Laredo" YouTube video rant.



The Mayor called the video "offensive" and "racist," and makes a great case to how the young women in the video criticized bilingual citizens who live in Laredo. He also said, "As long as I am mayor of this city, I am going to defend this city and I am going to promote this city, because Laredo es número uno."

talking about the area I live in and I'm quite far away from the Mexican boarder. She is just a hater and cannot see that what she is trying to discribe as "illegal" behavior is HUMAN behavior. What a ditz!

Jeez. I hope her husband gets his transfer to Henderson County, Texas. It is 96% Caucasion.It also has a lot of Klan Members and meth labs... she'd fit right in.

I love that the mayor answered her sniping about bi-lingualism bi-lingually.

That this cow is getting way more media attention than she deserves. She lives or lived in South Laredo, not the most glamourous place to live, but her whining about the drivers was too much. I am so sure that drivers where she's from are perfect
