Americans are crossing the border for fuel



The current average of $3.94 gallon price have pushed many Americans who lives near the Mexican boarders to travel to Mexico for fuel, in especial companies that depends exclusively of fuel, such as trucking businesses and cab companies.

Fuel prices in Mexico are a bargain and with the 60% rise on the cost of oil in America people are willing to travel miles in an attempt to save money and keep their businesses running. Diesel in Mexico is half of the average American price and the long journey seems to be working for many businesses owners.

Going to Mexico for fuel is very easy for those living next to the borders, but the problem starts when heading back home. Manu questions needs to be answered to border officials and there is tax to be paid.

    AS IT WAS DURING THE DAYS OF ” PROHIBITION ” THE GOVERNMENT IS , ONCE AGAIN, MAKING CRIMINALS OUT OF HISTORICALLY LAW ABIDING CITIZENS. . . ONLY THIS TIME IT’S A MATTER OF ” S U R V I V A L ” . .NOT DESIRE. ! ! ! . . . WE HAVE NEVER BEEN SO ABANDONED BY OUR OWN GOVERNMENT. . . . IT SEEMS THAT EVERY METHOD BY WHICH AMERICA COULD SAVE HER ECONOMY, THE LIVES OF IT’S CITIZENS, STOP MORTGAGE FORECLOSURES, LOWER FOOD PRICES, ENFORCE THE LAWS WHICH CURRENTLY EXIST REGARDING ” ILLEGAL IMMIGRATION ” AND EVERYTHING ELSE HAS BEEN BLATANTLY ” B L O C K E D ” BY THE GOVERNMENT ! . . . ” W E ” . . ” T H E . P E O P L E ” NOW MUST CONSIDER WAYS TO PURGE OUR GOVERNMENT OF THE CURRENT ELECTED OFFICIALS WHO ARE DOING HARM TO US BY EVERY MOVE THEY MAKE ! ! ! . . .

    IT APPEARS, TO ME, THAT AMERICA NO LONGER IS OPERATING AS A TRUE ” DEMOCRACY ” . . . WE ELECT PEOPLE TO REPRESENT OUR WISHES AND DESIRES AND THEY JUST BLATANTLY ” I G N O R E ” THE CITIZENS ONCE THEY’RE IN OFFICE. . . . WHAT THE HELL IS GOING ON ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ?

    WE REALLY DO HAVE TO TAKE CONTROL OF THE REIGNS OF OUR GOVERNMENT BY WHATEVER MEANS NECESSARY OR WE ARE LOSING THE ” LAND OF THE FREE” AND ” HOME OF THE BRAVE ” . . . WE ARE QUICKLY BECOMING THE ” HOME OF THE SLAVES ” TO GOVERNMENT. . . .
