Harsh Penalties for Paisano Abuse

By KGNS News

Travelers into Mexico may be able to breathe a little easier as the government is taking strong measures to protect them against abusive authorities.
Authorities in Nuevo Laredo announced there will be stronger penalties placed against traffic police caught extorting Paisanos.
In the coming days the rush of Paisanos is expected once again on our border as they return back to the US after visiting families in Mexico for the holidays.
The government has initiated a taskforce operation to protect the citizens who are commonly taken advantage of on their voyage.
Officials say that if traffic police are caught extorting the Paisanos, they face immediate suspension and will be penalized on a case-by-case basis.

No blog on the Cuellar kid that was arrested last week? Looks like we all know who runs Pro8News.

Sure, let the paisanos do what they want. They trash our city everytime they cross through here. Who cares about them. They work here in the US then go and leave all their money in their real home, Mexico. What do you think?

What about the treatment these paisanos give us Americans. They make a mess in our city not to mention forget about going to a public restroom during paisano season, how they get sh** and blood on the walls is beyond me. They way they have this "I'm better than you attitude so I dont have to wait in line and I'll make my fianl selections of what I want to buy when it is my turn in line and I will choose between 100 different pair of cloths and at the end will only take 1 thing."

Laredo should force Paisanos to drive through the Camino Bridge, or to stay on the far left hand lane on the highway. I don't even use the highway in Dec and Jan cause of them "American Wanna Be's" lol
