That seems to be incorrect. We import about 8,000 barrels of crude/day. At the peak in 1970, we produced 9637 barrels/day. Now we produce 5500 barrels/day. [That's just crude, we also import another 4000 barrels/day of refined products.]
So if we were somehow able to ramp production up to 1970 levels, we'd still need to import about 1/2 the crude we do now (and all of the refined products we do now).

1/2 the crude we import now is what we import from just Canada and Mexico alone. Seems like a plan to me.
