So what does one have to do with the other? Lame....
I have absolutely no sympathy for the oil companies. If they have to adjust their forward plans, so be it. I am not going to sacrifice our national security for the sake of someone’s stock options. Cry somewhere else.
A wall stopping people and vehicles from illegally crossing into the U.S. may appear to be a simple and effective solution to illegal immigration, but it sure won’t sound so good to Marathon Oil, Anadarko Petroleum, Exxon, Chevron, Kinder Morgan and their peers. The reason: since Mexico liberalized its energy market back in 2014, it has become an attractive investment destination for U.S. energy companies.
I would venture to say that their investments are safe and sound with a wall. If they are indeed relying on illegal border crossings, than they should lose, and big time. I for one do not believe that is the case.
Oh I see, it ISN'T the OIL, they don't want their criminals back, and with a wall and them getting sent back, they will have to deal with their own cess pool in their own front yard....aaawwweee to bad for them/s ROFL...
Yes corporations hate borders, republics and diffused power. Corps like on stop shopping for all of the corruption needs. We all know that. The new fascism.
Having been in a lawsuit with big oil, let me tell you how they work.
They pay their lawyers, and then they pay yours.
Is this author suggesting that the above companies are transporting crude oil and refined products illegally across the border? If not, then what is the problem with a wall? It will have a gate, won't it?

Funny how NO other country with an enforced and secured border is called hairbrained or controversial...
We need interior enforcement to deal with the current invaders. Start the wall for the future illegal trespassers.
So if they are going to join with the Democrats to try to stop the wall then we are just going to have to join with the Democrats to raise their taxes.
That's the entire basis of the author's theory and it sounds like complete BS to me.
I have a logistical question about building a wall between Mexico and the U.S.
The Texas/Mexico border is the center of the Rio Grande River, extending 1250 miles from El Paso to Brownsville.
Is the wall going to be build in the middle of the river? We can’t build it on the Mexico side, because Mexico would be within their rights to tear it down. If we build it on our side, then it would cut off access to the river, which ranches on this side depend on for water.
Seriously, I am all for stopping Obama’s flood of illegal aliens and deporting the illegal aliens that have already crossed. I just think this issue needs to be clearly addressed or it opens up the entire wall issue to attack.
Wow, my IQ dropped five points reading this idiotic article. The author posits:
1. No government in their right mind would continue doing business with someone who’s building walls along their common border.
2. [The wall] carries some drawbacks for American business, a lot of lost profits, and the need to expand the search for new markets.
No proof, no data, no relevant examples, no extrapolations from known facts...just believe the author’s wild speculations. Stupid beyond belief.
If Hillary gets elected all Big Oil will belong to the Clinton foundation after she arrests all the real owners
These are multinational corporations. Who gives a crap?
Don’t blame Trump...it’s the illegals who are breaking the law.
I’m sure the “big oil” companies can figure out a workaround.
