Mexico is one of our top four suppliers of oil. Just a thought...
True. But money sent from the USA to Mexico by illegal immigrants (and legal ones) is the leading source of GNP for the Mexican economy.
Without that income, Mexico will falter. Oil will be the only dependable income left.
We have to get over the fear of oil being used as a weapon.
That prospect is dangled over us with every international incident. It is being used as leverage. We need to tough it up or we will never be able to stand on our own ever again.
Mexico has far much more to lose by trying to manipulate us and failing then we have to lose. Frankly, losing 14 million illegal immigrants would help our economy.
