Yes I'm sure. The Dems tried to get Canada to agree to only sell oil refined in the gulf in the USA and they refused.

The U.S. Energy Information Administration (EIA) has released export data that clearly corroborates President Obama's
recent assertion that the Keystone XL tar sands pipeline is primarily about export.
Politico reports that refineries in Port Arthur and Houston - which would be the primary recipients of crude oil delivered by the Keystone XL pipeline - exported over 60% of their refined product in 2014.
The EIA data shows that Houston and Port Arthur refineries exports reached over two thirds of their production in December 2014. This is the continuation of a trend that Oil Change International (OCI) first identified in 2012, when Texas Gulf Coast refineries
began exporting slightly over half of their total refined product internationally.

But don't just take our word for it. Ask Valero, the refining company which
has committed to the largest share of Keystone XL's capacity. It
told investors in a February 2015 presentation that it intended to increase its capacity to export gasoline and diesel from its Gulf Coast refineries by nearly 20% in 2015 (from 667,000 bpd to 780,000 bpd).
