Laredo, Texas Mayor Dr. Victor D. Trevino has expressed concerns over President-elect Donald Trump's campaign promise of mass deportation and its potential devastating impact on the economy. Mayor Trevino emphasized that mass deportations would not be a functional way to address immigration issues and could severely harm the country's economy.
