Letter to Reoresentative

To Your Representative:
The Honorable Bob Filner


Dear Mr. Filner

I am writing about PEMEX, Mexico’s state oil monopoly, which also sells oil to our country. Mexico has a high corruption rate and there has been PEMEX officials arrested for corruption. Also, Mexican cartels steal from the company by connecting alternative pipelines to a PEMEX pipeline. We are probably buying stolen oil from Mexican Cartels, which is not helping or neighbor country Mexico. 82% of PEMEX exports goes to the U.S., which benefits us a lot. The export is cheap because Mexico is right across the border. PEMEX, being the six largest oil company in the world, is on high demand to privatize it, buy the company will not benefit Mexico, since 40% of Mexico income comes from PEMEX.

We should help Mexico by buying oil from the company itself, and we should know from whom are we buying oil from, not like a past experience that we bought oil from PEMEX, but turns out it was stolen. That is not helping Mexico with their economy, and we are just helping the Mexican cartels getting bigger and stronger and making Mexico weaker and smaller. There is an estimate that cartels steal more than $350 million dollars in gasoline from PEMEX.

The U.S. has to know from whom it is buying oil and how it is getting it from Mexico. We should support the country, not supporting the Mexican cartels. Like we always help Mexico, we should donate $50 million dollars to PEMEX to be an even better company in reinforcing their security and to fight the Mexican Cartels and corruption, in order to get clean and safe oil from PEMEX and not from Mexican cartels. If we are buying oil from Mexican cartels, we may be getting less and cheap oil, and we are also helping the Mexican cartels, which are the ones who export drugs to the U.S. We get a lot from PEMEX so we should take care and support it.


Sincerely,

Javier Bustamante
