Why Does Obama Want To Increase Gas Prices?

He wants to give millions of driver licenses to illegal immigrants. What he wants would decrease the supply of gas and drive up prices.

Obama also voted against strong border control. Currently, illegal immigrants are making over 300,000 babies a year just to avoid being deported.

"Obama (D-IL), Nay [No]"

Update:

Obama takes big risk on driver's license issue

http://www.sfgate.com/cgi-bin/article.cgi?f=/c/a/2...

Update 2:

To Kenny: McCain reversed his position on amnesty. Obama is still for amnesty.

Update 3:

Adam B: That is a flawed argument. Anytime an illegal immigrant is caught driving in California their car is taken away from them. Also, there are 3 million illegal immigrants in California and currently only a few hundred thousand are driving.

Update 4:

"Right now, when officers impound the cars of unlicensed drivers, the

mandatory term is 30 days"

    Well Mr. Obama sure didn't want to support The Gas Tax Holiday...

    ( it will only save you 30 - 70 bucks per vehicle, and only help out truckers across America, and lower shipping cost. Nahhh it’s not a good idea Obama says.) Instead he would rather whine about it and criticize Hillary & McCain for actually coming up with something. ( Ohh no don’t give a gas tax holiday to the American people the oil company’s will only raise the prices!) didn’t hear him come up with any solutions did you?... nope better hold your breath.

    I hate illegal immigration just as anyone else but deporting all these loser wont solve anything it is not rational to think the gov will send millions of people out of the country at once giving these law breakers license is bad too but you have to choose your battles John McCain wants to continue this costly war and continue giving tax breaks to people who just dont need then. We dont need John McCain either way when it comes to border control the country is screwed either way all three candidates are for amnesty.

    Bush /Cheney /Mc Cain did with their association with Saudi Arabia.

    The Question should be : Why has Mc Cains are Mc Cains Senior advisers Saudi Agents/Lobbyist ? Do you realize that McCain just"Cleaned House" by letting 5 Saudi Lobbyist, who happen to be his Senior campaign Advisers .

    How can we trust a President who is surrounded by Americans who work for a country who has supplied money to Muslim extremist who are killing us and Israelis .Saudis have supplied 75% of all terrorist, and continue to do so.Mr. Mc Cain who are you serving? the Saudis or America? How could you betray America by associating yourself with nations who hate us? Are you also getting paid by Arab Countries

    Obama certainly does not consider the big picture. He is a bit myopic. Every little move effects so many others. We really need leaders who are both detail-oriented AND can see all of the little strings each of those details tugs.

    That, my friends, comes with experience.

    Bush/Cheney and OIL Companies have ties. So I think you might be wrong. He doesn't want to increase Gas prices. But I bet you Bush and Cheney does. McCain and Clinton voted against the border control bill also.

    Since Mexico is one of our major oil suppliers, maybe he's hoping that some of the immigrants will bring oil with them.

    Most of these drivers are driving anyway, therefore burning gas. This will just allow them to drive legally. Plus they're experts at car pooling, so that should help as well.
