Illegal Immigrants: 30 Million more reasons to drill or not to
By dan | August 10, 2008
The message drill here, drill now – pay less is a success. Still our honorable lady speaker of the house refuses to allow an up or down vote on drilling. She says we have a world to save. That is the point lady speaker. We do have a world to save. We can do that by drilling for oil on our own territories and save the world one barrel at a time.
There is an issue I believe has been pushed to the back of the line and that is the illegal immigrant issue. Both parties are guilty of laziness when it comes to tackling illegal immigration. The numbers of illegal immigrants into the USA are staggering. These people who yearn for the American Dream are 30 million more reasons to drill, or not to drill. source.
So since many do not want to drill for oil here in the United States here is something to consider. We could further reduce U.S. oil consumption by rounding up the 30 million or so illegal immigrants and send them back to Mexico where they can pay less for petroleum products. How much would that decrease the U.S. petroleum consumption? 10%? Super Crunchers could tell us for sure.
I know there would be a reduction of autos on the roads, electricity used, natural gas used, and many other petroleum based products would see a reduction in consumption source. This would decrease the demand for such products. With decreased demand comes increased supply. With increased supply comes lower prices at the gas pump.
Illegal immigration contributes to our oil supply woes. No one is talking about it.
