The Undocumented can't move forward under the President's Executive Orders, but, the petroleum industry should have the right to completely crash the oil market. Amazing.
They don't learn. I don't know if it's methane gas with the profound effect of diminished capacity or what the problem is, but, the petroleum industry expects Americans to be as stupid as they are.

Oil producers are pressing President Obama (click here) to use his executive authority to lift the 40-year-old ban on crude oil exports, which would not require the approval of Congress.
Barry Russell, president and CEO of the Independent Petroleum Association of America, sent a letter to the president on Tuesday asking him to adjust the export control measure and open up a new global market for U.S. crude oil.
"To continue growing as an energy superpower, America must have policies that reflect modern energy markets, rather than policies based on a market that existed in the 1970s," Russell said. "Current law provides authority to the administration to approve oil exports without requiring any action from Congress."...
This is an article from Christmas 2012. North Dakota was undergoing an increase in population with lower unemployment and immigration of average Americans into the state for employment.

Unemployment in the U. S., at 7.7%, remains high. (click here) Unemployment in North Dakota, at 3.1%, is about as close to zero as a state ever gets. Perhaps it should come as no surprise that people are moving there in droves.
North Dakota’s population grew by 2.17% between July 2011 and July 2012, making it the fastest growing U. S. state, according to new Census Bureau data released today.
The rapid growth is a big turnaround for North Dakota, which was just the 37th-fastest growing state between 2000 and 2010. But by last year, its growth had picked up to make it the sixth fastest. This year, it wasn’t even close; no other state grew by even 2%....
It is true that couples will grow families when times are good. But, in this case I am confident the population growth has slowed in North Dakota with the failure of the petroleum industry. There have been layoffs with the collapse of oil prices in the commodities market.
Now, considering by now the people are impoverished and winter is coming; what are they going to do when there aren't food stamps, heating subsidies and housing vouchers? What are those wonderful families who settled in North Dakota and went into debt with their new found fortunes with the complete trust in believing their future was set for a long time? What are they going to do?
The blatant foolishness of the petroleum industry in the USA should be a best seller on a bookshelf. And what would make it a real phenomena is the inclusion of the equally foolish Republicans that pandered to their every breath and word.
I think I posted the deaths occurring in North Dakota on the oilfields. Young men with or without families are perfectly healthy when they report for work and after a few hours at work succumb to fumes and are found dead.
I have been of the generation raised by men who fought on the Korean Peninsula, used the GI bill to buy a home for his family and worked proudly as a union member. Those men believed in PROTECTIONS. They believed in the protections the government, primarily the federal government, could provide to them and in turn their families.
This 'age of human exploitation' in the USA is disgusting. It is completely disgusting to me. We have families called "The Working Poor." What? This is America? It sure isn't mine. I think I rode the wave of good paying jobs with benefits provided by employers that provided a single parent family a real life in a democracy we loved.
The Millennials found it necessary to organize a movement called "Occupy Wall Street." An entire generation of Americans dropped in life without a safety net or a future while the economy was supported by their student loans and high hopes for their education.
What happened to my country? Everywhere I look these days I find reasons to find fault with the USA. Victimization of citizens in their RIGHTS is a complete abhorrence to me.
Prolonged and meaningless wars, for what?
The political extremists in the USA holding on to the OLD COATTAILS of Wall Street while allies go forward with the hopes of their people for a moral life including that of a heating planet. To have scientists scoffed at while historically violent weather destroys homes and lives is alien to me. My life dictates my country is moral and strives to 'set the leading edge' of what is moral and best in this world.
I'm tired of the old Republican paradigm that says wars are good and high profits of companies at the cost of American health, well being and hopes is the best of all worlds.
And to think the petroleum industry with it's imploding market would actually want a USA President to insure their demise for short sightedness or what? Why would an industry slated for extinction actually see their own demise as manageable?
There are no more morals in the USA. This is a prime example.
