Why is it that the Mexican government encourages Mexicans to cross illegally to the U.S. for better pay, but -

Question

... it's illegal for a U.S. citizen to enter Mexico to save money on gas? The police will impound their car and confiscate their car keys & drivers' license. Supposedly they have laws against that. Why?

Answer 1

Because the US is a fascist regime, and anyone who argues with that is showing their oblivious ignorance. Actually it's just pure stupidity, because all the information and reality is all around them, and they're just turning a blind eye. My passport is coming, and I'm going.

Answer 2

Don't forget what they do to the Guatemalans who enter Mexico for a better life.

Answer 3

People criticize the US for bad policy decisions but also fails to recognize that the US is more consistent in following international law then most other nations.

Why do things like this happen?

Sad to say, this is the way the world works.

Answer 4

It is not illegal to buy gas in Mexico if one drives legitimately there through a border crossing.  It is a lot of trouble to go to just for a fill up, and would only benefit those that live right on the border.

Answer 5

I don't know, but it sure is obvious that at least one person is showing their oblivious ignorance!

Answer 6

their gasoline is subsidized by the mexican government, for the good of their own people.  that's why it is so much cheaper than in the US

Answer 7

that attitude towards foreign development is why its (mexico) is still a third world dump  

Answer 8

good question do not think that is fair  

Answer 9

okay you were good about showing "proof" of the mexican government arresting US citizens entering mexico for getting cheaper gas, where's the proof of them encouraging illegals to cross the borders? don't be such an ignorant jerk. using this site for rants is what makes Y!A more annoying every day
