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

This report might not reach the level of “Babylon Bee” satire, but it sure pegs the hell out of the needle on the irony meter. 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.
That statement alone is ironic on multiple levels, but it gets “better.”
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.
According to Reuters, the suspension of the subsidy from April 2-8 covers cities in the border states of Tamaulipas, Nuevo Leon, Coahuila, Chihuahua, Sonora, and Baja California, including Tijuana, one of the world’s busiest border crossings. Mexico’s finance ministry said in a statement that the gasoline shortage in the area is due to “an imbalance between supply and demand.”
