So Mexico would just hold onto all of its oil? They wouldn't sell it to anyone?

Puhleeeze.

That is NOT what the author suggests or I consider, a valid assumption.

No, what is hinted at herein, is the possibility that Mexico would/could very easily find other "buyers" for their precious oil.

Is that scenario so far fetched as to stretch the credulity/credibility in your mind?

A thought: More Mexicans in Mexico would likely force reform and consumption of its natural resources, weakening oil exports. Under the current system, both Mexican people and Mexican oil go to the US where we make a pretty penny off of both.

In a reformed Mexico US oil interests would take a direct hit, even though Mexico would benefit. I suspect even with pricier oil Americans would also benefit from having a healthier Mexico, but if this guy is right the oil industry has locked out such possibilities.
