It is controlled, as are many South Texas cities, by a coalition of Anglos and Latinos; the latter are often regarded as Tios Tomases (Uncle Toms) by the more dissatisfied Latins. Those who rule Laredo have watched the poverty fight here closely and with some misgivings, fearing political and economic change that could threaten their power...
