Don't know why you may have thought that, I don't recall having seen it stated anywhere.
As for me, when I see NG or AR from Brownsville to San Diego and apprehensions on the southern border drop from 1.5 million to 50 Thousand per year and estimates of capture rates of the illegal border crossers go up from 20% to > 95% I might consider staying home.
Soooo, anybody know any good restaurants around Laredo?
