Oil is fungible and owes no allegiance to anyone. Its price is determined by the world market. We do not need Mexico’s oil, they need the USA to buy the oil. If they will not sell it many others will be delighted to sell their oil.
I find this article mostly Bravo Sierra. We buy a lot of oil from Mexico because it is cheaper because the cost of transportation are much less due to proximity to the USA.
We do not need them, they need us.
He doesn’t need Mexican oil. We have plenty. It would be nice to add the Mexican stuff into the mix but he would have to induce a real private takeover of Pemex. If that happened that would pay for the Wall easily.
Not individuals - criminals.
Canada is capable of ramping up much more if the US has further needs.
Pemex can pay for the wall...as well as the repatriation of 40 MM illegal aliens.
1. Invade the Baja peninsula.
2. Claim it as American forever.
3. Seize the Pemex offshore platforms and have Halliburton operate them.
4. Use the oil revenues to build the wall and pay for the road to Mexico City via Baja, and to repatriate the illegals in a humanitarian way.
5. Mexico has historically lost territory when it invaded the USA.
6. Declare war if necessary.
7. Scrape splody-headed liberals off pavement.
For me, I chose wall
Just Tuesday, the US Geological Survey released a study saying there are 20 billion barrels of oil under the west Texan Permian Basin. It’s the largest single find ever.
And this never gets old...
“Peak oil is now.” German Energy Watch Group –2008
“By 2012, surplus oil production capacity could entirely disappear..…” U.S. Department of Defense –2008 & 2010.
“A global peak is inevitable. The timing is uncertain, but the window is rapidly narrowing.” UK Energy Research Centre -2009
“The next five years will see us face … the oil crunch.” UK Industry Taskforce on Peak Oil and Energy Security –2009

Exactly! Most people are ignorant of how oil markets function, or any fungible commodity market, for that matter.
Of this we can be certain, peak oil is closer now than it’s ever been.
Illegal voting is a criminal act.
Right. Like a bat needs contact lenses.
No we do not need the Mexican Oil industry ... they need us. And we should be energy independent in about 3 years at the rate Trump is proposing. Suck juevos, Mexico.
Texas oil field in 1903:
So can the U.S. itself. Lots of oil rigs waiting around for the price to go up again.
