I grew up in Mexico (but I've lived in Philly for 9 years now. Part of the problem with gasoline in mexico is deffinitley that AMLO's government implemented their policy to end illegal siphoning of gas too quickly, without developing a strategy to cope with the changes. However, a big part of the negative reaction to it comes from the deep political divisions in Mexico: AMLO is the first real opposition president in modern mexican history (The Right-Wing PRI operated a theocratic state for pretty much the entire twentieth century, the the VERY right-wing PAN enjoyed two terms in office before anothe PRI president until last year when AMLO was elected, and pretty much the entire upper-half of the country (who also have tipycally enjoyed a louder political voice coming from their stronger socioeconomic standpoint) utterly DESPISE AMLO for his left-leaning, let's-help-the-poor policies. The issue of corruption in Mexico is another point of resentment toward him. At a cultural level, it is a completely common practice in our country to use personal influence, cash liquidity and other devious means to circumvent the leagal proceedings of things as simple as getting a driver's licence. Like, if your cousin works at the DMV you can get your licence in minutes instead of days, and no one would bat an eye about it. This has been the case for decades. Imagine what it's like in the high spheres of power then. AMLO campaigned on the promise to end corruption, but when corruption/nepotism/cronyism/favor trading is so ingrained not just in your political system but in the fabric of your people, there's gonna be a lot of pushback to anything that you do. Also worth noting: Mexico has dropped the rates at which we import gasoline from the USA by about 45% in January, a policy i believe is stemmed in the notion that it MAKES NO DAMN SENSE to extract oil, sell it to the USA for refining, and then buy it back from them at a marked up price, something that's been done for decades obviously to serve certain people's commercial interests.

Revolting. They _gaslight_ the living shit out of their kids. Especially Cody. Then when he naturally objects to the emotional/psychological abuse from his emotionally/psychologically vampiric parents, they disregard his personal autonomy and totally dismiss his feelings about it but they dont stop there. No no no. They have to add layers of shame and blame to it to manipulate his feelings and make him feel responsible for what's happening and feel personally responsible for how shitty he feels about it. They guilt and shame him for not liking it. This makes the child a ripe victim for the abuser. This keeps the child always vulnerable to their attacks. It makes the child easier to abuse. That is so vile and such a dangerous enviornment for a childs development. This wrecks havoc on how a child perceives themselves, interacts with others, and they take this into adulthood. Gaslighting is soooooooo dangerous so toxic and sooooo devastating and has permanent lasting effects especially when it's done to a young child. It writes on the slate of who they become. It shapes them in a very negative damaging way. Just horrible. His very normal and natural response to everything is exploited and assigned a very negative reaction from his parents all in the name of maximizing his mental/emotional unrest. That is always the running theme and goal with these disgusting parents. They never miss a moment to let the kids know how much they disapprove of their natural reaction to the torment. Especially Cody. These dirtbags clearly enjoy the torment their kids endure from their abuse and they do it all under the guise of a prank. The Prank Umbrella. Typical covert clandestine tactic narcissistic parents employ only it's not quite as covert as they think. These poor kids were saddled with pieces of shit for parents. And no, I cannot say with any degree of certainty that they are narcopaths, but I'm highly suspicious and would not be in the least bit shocked if that's the case. I loathe these people.

Not a trump fan boy, but to say that a wall will not slow down drug trafficking from Mexico and they hide them in other ways is misleading. Most illegals have to be a runner to have a way into the United States by hoping over the many unguarded and weak points of the wall. Its still a major avenue drug traffickers take that is less of a risk considering how much is seized at the border. That is one of many reasons we need a wall on our southern border. Not because of racism, it is a simple answer for most but a wall is the route most countries take for security including Mexico. Wish the shutdown would end and the racism or people using wrong numbers as a reason to support not building the wall is ridiculous in my mind. If you have seen the state of our borders fence and the excess of problems illegals cause our country, it needs to be reinforced. Many presidents have stated that but fallen through, but it wasnt about race then. We cant continue to throw money at non citizens and neglect the people and problems our citizens are facing. Mexicans should stay and fix their countries state while we try to do the same with ours. Running away makes things worse for your country and for us as well. Most Dems andrepublics hardly care about their own people so the fact they care so much about non citizens is a load of shit on both ends. The shut down is being used to blame whoever isnt on ur side to make someone look bad whether or not it ruins peoples lives and financial situation

I really hope someone sees this comment. I grew up in Mexico City until I was 17yrs old (21 now. I'm I've been in mexico visiting since Christmas and will be here till late Jan. as an upper class citizen I have to say I have never been in such a nice and relaxed environment in the city. Mexico has 4 forms of transport around the city that arent a car. Electric scooters, 2 bike services and because if the no traffic Uber is crazy cheap right now. like 5 USD for 30 min drive. Mexico city was flooded with scooters and bikes for the citizens to rent very cheap and they leave wherever they want on the side of the road. As weird as it sounds it's just so pleasant. I do know that my working friends are struggling mostly with rationing the gas they do get. I asked my uber driver how he keeps working and he said he just gets gas in the middle of the might. But overall it's honestly not that bad. most citizens walked to work anyway. What you dont see (which I love) are like trucks anymore which caused a lot of accidents anyway. the gas problems has honestly made the city life so much greener. people seem fine?

I'm Mexican living in Nuevo Leon state and this hasn't really been a problem in here. The states that are being affected are the ones with more corruption regarding gas theft. Gas station owners would buy gas from cartels and gangs at a cheaper price to make profit margins larger. But now those gangs and cartels can not supply to those gas stations and the shortage began. Also people getting gas in panic of a bigger shortage is what is causing all those lines in the gas stations to be huge. People in here are panicking because there was a media campaign during the elections to make look AMLO like a Nicolas Maduro or Hugo Chavez and telling people that if they voted for AMLO Mexico was going to be in the same situation as Venezuela. As a Mexican this whole situation is just annoying cause all the right wing supporters just won't STFU about Mexico becoming some sort of mix between Venezuela and Cuba while the president just wants to cut all the corruption and shit that has been damaging all sectors of Mexico during. well during all our history really.

Ok but what about the countries that built walls and it made a huge difference? Of course theres going to be other ways to get through, but the border is full of places to hide to slip into the US. If theres a wall they can have more cameras and drones and theyd actually be effective because the only way past is over or under. Obviously tunneling is easier to stop then running. Its not going to stop the most elaborate cartels but its going to do a lot still. With the trillions the government spends, a lot of it wasted on useless things such as bureaucratic mistakes, it wouldnt make much of a difference to build the wall. Im open to hearing anything that proves otherwise, but so far I havent heard much besides the wall is medieval despite countries like Israel having GREAT improvements since building a wall.

Regarding the alleged gas shortage, it is not the case. Truth is that several government officials were caught stealing vast amounts of gas and working with civilian thieves called huachicoleros. They were stealing billions worth of gas for years and AMLO turned his back on them. They now have lost their source of gold and the states where folks bought cheaper stolen gas are in a panic. A vast majority of the are Southern Mexicans but in the North many cities have remained unaffected. There is no REAL gas shortage. Legal gas is expensive but available, stolen gas from pipes was cheaper but now hard to find. Though there are still folks from the South that are trying to sell gas through Facebook which is funny but part of the problem.

So let's get this straight, a country riddled with crime and therefore criminals, is unlikely to have some of those crossing illegally or even legally? Laughable. These studies on illegal immigration are deeply DEEPLY flawed and have been disproven time and time again. They are a threat to legal immigrants more than anyone and hurt lower income people. Mexico has a lot of problems, and the idea that alot of people crossing the border illegally are not problematic is ridiculous. Do I support the wall? Not really. Strong border security, yes. A wall? Not so much. And if I'm going to spend taxes on anything it's gonna be universal healthcare. But the idea that illegal immigrants commit less crime is not only misleading but it's flat out a lie.

The thing I find annoying with the shutdown is that everyone wants to point the finger at the other side for being responsibility. I was talking with some friends on the left side of politics today, who were saying that the cost of the shutdown is now greater than the 5billion argument they're having. They then proceeded to blame Trump for it. Surely there's blame to go around on all sides here. Side A won't budge, but blames side B. Side B won't budge, but blames side A. On your comments about Trump pivoting, I saw a tweet the other day along the lines of When I said Mexico would pay for the wall, I actually forgot to add '. through a new trade deal' to my statement. That's shitty revisionist history.
