Nation Wide Injunction Challenge 2: Electric Boogaloo

Get'em boys.

I think we should expand workmen's comp pay outs for green-card / visa workers to encompass these social programs as well. Make the calculus of displacing American workers on its face more costly for businesses than failing to employ available Americans. Do so while forcing businesses that employ, BY DEPARTMENT, disproportionately non-American workers to similarly pay out disproportionately more than "balanced" departments beholden to quotas - and make it so outsourcing & out of country "support staff" meant to fire wall against that exact sort of pro-American legislation are beneath the umbrella of that legislation also.

You want foreign workers? Pick up the bill for non-manufacturing jobs when they're sick or injured on the job - both here AND abroad. Add that last bit about employer liability for employee well being at American rates even if they're foreign based, and the instant corruption by those oversea would nix that profit-margin chasing anti-American business practice immediately. I only don't want it to apply to manufacturing because holy fuck would that make the new TV I want expensive.
