Oh, the Irony: Mexico Moves to Cut off Cheap Gas as Americans Cross Border to Escape Biden Price Hike

As the Biden Border Crisis continues to worsen, and the most inept president in modern history and his war on energy have contributed to increasing gas prices, virtually from the beginning of his presidency, Mexico would like a word: Our southern neighbor is not happy with Americans crossing the border in search of lower prices at Mexican gas stations.

As reported by Reuters on Saturday, the Mexican government has been subsidizing gasoline to soften price spikes, but it has announced that the policy would be suspended in areas close to the U.S. border this week-citing shortages as more and more Americans hop over to fill their tanks.

In addition to blaming everyone and everything but himself for run-away gas prices - as he does with every self-created mess - Biden announced on Thursday he plans to tap the Strategic Petroleum Reserve for the next six months at a clip of one million barrels a day.

Biden's real objective, of course, is convincing everyday Americans how much better off they'd be if they'd give up those gas guzzlers in favor of shiny new EVs - electric cars and other vehicles.

Not that Biden has become desperate, as gas prices have continued to skyrocket, but as we reported in mid-March, the White House reached out to 30 TikTok and influencers and told them to blame rising gas prices on Vladimir Putin's invasion of Ukraine, a demonstrable bald-faced lie.

Incidentally, the average price of gas when Donald Trump left office was $2.38 - not the $1.86 he continues to claim.

Still, the notion of Americans "Fleeing" Biden's America for Mexico in search of affordable gas, prompting Mexican authorities to rise to the threat of gas shortages by discontinuing subsidies that Americans are taking advantage of, brings an ironic smile to the face - if not a tear to the eye.
