I think you do need a passport now or a special driver’s license. A lot of people on the Canadian border have one so that they can make occasional trips to Canada.
I think this may be a great opportunity for some good jobs.
Hey to say it, but Obama has turned us into the new Mexico.

It’s long hours and hard work, but it is good money.
I started out driving olilfield trucks and donig daily maintencnc on wells in the 80s. I had no clue what i was doing when i started, but it was good work for good money and grew into a career. the eduction steps came abit here an there for me, a 15 year process, but by 40 yres old I was a petroleum engineer.
a good palce to start is rigzone.com. Jobs.
others are weatherford, schlumberger, halliburton, baker-hughes service company websites.
some operateing along he western NY-PA border if wanting to take a shot closer to home.
good luck.
But Haliburton is eeeeeeeeeeevil! /sarc
Thank you for that advice. I’ll give the website a peek, and check it out more in depth Wednesday afternoon, ‘cuz I’m looking at traveling for at least 3 hours during the day, all to put in an application at a guitar pickup manufacturer. I dunno why they can’t do something online, though I could guess they don’t want to sift through a ton of applications daily, which is understandable.
When the Trans-Alaska Pipeline was being built, Alyeska and Fluor furnished housing for the workers and their families. There were barracks on-site for the single or non-supervisory workers. The supervisors and their families lived in houses and condos in Valdez. It can be done.
I agree it can be done as my company did some similar efforts in the wake of Katrina.
It is just twice as costly to do and to utilize when it is done in the north country.
