Although the immigration crackdown has its merits, the effect on unemployment is negligible. The main reason unemployment is down in OK is the oil boom.

And just think, if we didn’t have so many restrictions on oil drilling around the country, everywhere could be like Oklahoma!

Let me get this stratight. There’s an oil boom in Ok....doesn’t that mean they need employees? They seem to be doing just fine without the aliens, don’t they?

I’ve done some surfing to verify that statement but can not come up with any current numbers. Do you have a source for that statement?

LMAO, and who do you think would be taking those manual labor jobs if not illegals?

Strangely, Americans will do the jobs Americans won’t do after all.

So who is filling the jobs the illegals used to have?
