He very simply cannot produce any links that back up his claim.

Here are a couple that shows his claim is patently false:

http://www.fueleconomy.gov/feg/oildep.shtml

Nearly 40% of the oil we use is imported, costing us roughly $300 billion annually. Increased domestic oil production from shale formations and improved fuel economy standards have decreased oil imports over the past few years, but the U.S. Department of Energy projects that we will continue to rely on imports for 35% to 40% of our petroluem needs in the future.

While U.S. total net crude oil imports fell during 2013, the share of imports last year from the United States' top three foreign oil suppliers—Canada, Saudi Arabia, and Mexico—was the highest in at least four decades, according to preliminary annual trade data from EIA's Petroleum Supply Monthly report. These three countries provided almost three out of every five barrels of oil imported into the U.S. market last year.

I knew he/she was wrong, was just giving him/her time. A question I like to ask people is, who do you think we import more oil from Canada or Saudi Arabia. Most get it wrong.

Still waiting to find out what your source is?
