Under the Trump administration, our nation was flourishing. The American people saw an economic boom, low gas prices, and an incredibly low employment rate.
The left cannot usher in the “Great Reset” if we prosper, so in the early spring of 2020, COVID-19 swept our land. I am not saying that COVID-19 was not a real virus, but we also know how the left operates, and they never let a crisis go to waste.
The pandemic was used to force draconian lockdowns, unconstitutional mandates, and unprecedented incentives to keep people at home.
The economy came to a grinding halt, the election of 2020 was stolen, and Joe Biden was crowned the winner.
Biden’s policies or lack of policy has crippled the country, and now Mexico is stepping in to help frustrated Americans at the border.
Mexican President Andrés Manuel López Obrador says he feels so badly for Americans being harmed by Joe Biden’s soaring gas prices that he is inviting U.S. citizens to drive south of the border to fill up and take advantage of the cheaper prices in Mexico.
“While we’re waiting for prices to go down, we have decided that we needed to allow Americans who live close to the borderline so that they could go and get their gasoline on the Mexican side at lower prices,” Obrador said via an interpreter on Tuesday as he met with President Biden in the Oval Office of the White House, according to a White House transcript.
“And right now, a lot of the drivers — a lot of the Americans — are going to Mexico, to the Mexican border, to get their gasoline,” he said.
While most of the United States has seen the price of gas fall under $5 per gallon this week, it is still more than a dollar cheaper in Mexico, Obrador said.
“Right now, a gallon of regular costs $4.78 on average on this side of the border. And in our territory, $3.12,” he said.
In California, gas is about $6 a gallon as of Thursday, according to AAA.
Signs in Tijuana, across the border from that state, advertise gas as “Cheaper than in the USA.”
It is insane that this is happening, and the left cannot seem to see the dichotomy in the fact that even as hundreds of thousands of illegal immigrants are streaming across the border to get into the U.S., Americans are heading into Mexico for gas because Biden’s policies have driven prices so high.
The irony was not lost on Republican Rep. Jim Jordan of Ohio, who blasted Biden for the situation.
“For me, the key takeaway was the Mexican president talking about how now Americans are going across the border into Mexico because gas is cheaper there,” Jordan told Newsmax.
“If that isn’t a picture for just how dysfunctional, how bad the Biden administration has been, I don’t know what is,” he said.

The fact is, we need to win big in the upcoming midterms to make some positive strides, or the nation won’t make it till 2024.
