if half of the stuff on that show Bordertown: Laredo is true, this is likely one to steer clear of.

Texas High School football alone makes this perhaps the best entry level job in the country.

 

[SpeedTchr]

Obviously you know little about Texas high school football if you think Laredo is a factor.

 

[doodah]

I know HS football there is better than in, say, North Dakota.

 

[SpeedTchr]

No, no you don't. Sorry.

Laredo LBJ High School went 6-4 this season. Oh my god, worst team EVA!!!1!!1!!!11

 

[doodah]

I applied a couple minutes ago. Still no messages back :(

Wow. Please tell me that doodah is trying to be the next Pickle_Juice.

Doodah is comic relief. Keep posting dude.

The stuff on Bordertown and Border Wars is all true - and there's worse stuff that they don't show. Be brave and say your prayers every day if you get this one.

I know El Paso is actually a pretty safe town to live, as long as you stay on the US side of the border, in despite the chaos in Juarez, but Laredo has always had a reputation for a little more chaos.

Had a family member who was a customs inspector in Laredo for a few years. One of the most corrupt towns in the country. Practically run by the Mexican drug cartels. My family member was eventually transferred after a hit was put on his head by some of the local business owners.
