Can you imagine how many jobs would be created (for real) if we could drill in ANWR?!

Or deport 30 million illegal aliens...There was would be millions of construction, restaurant, hotel, warehouse type jobs available, over night.

That too!

For 20 years, environmentalists, Democrats, and a few misguided Republicans have been busy keeping Big Oil out of ANWR and out of the oil fields on the Coastal Shelves, where there are an estimated 635 trillion cubic feet of natural gas, enough to heat 60 million American homes for a century, and 115 billion barrels of oil, enough to replace 100% of the oil we now buy from OPEC for 21 years. At $130 a barrel,that would cut out trade deficit by $5.4 trillion over 21 years.

Yes, $5.4 trillion, which is enough to pay the entire federal budget for nearly two years.

Also jobs would open up in IT, engineering, medicine,and other professions because ~40% of illegal aliens are visa overstays (think H-1B's etc.)

And if we stopped bringing in 125,000 new legal workers (a combination of guest workers and green cards) EACH MONTH, just image what would happen to unemployment!
