lol this thread, not the topic, just...the banning, the 'you don't know what you're talking about, but I didn't read what you're talking about', the (mis)quoting...

"On a microeconomic level, companies will produce less because the marginal cost of production is higher. This will both drive down profit margins and drive up prices. Prices are going to be higher because they're artificially low due to the exploitation of foreign labor. If we're trading higher prices for jobs, I'll take it. That's the decision we're talking about."

I might be wrong here, but if anything the US did would actually do this, your plan or another one, then would it not merely end up incentivizing using labour from poorer countries even more because the US as a whole, in comparison, will have become even richer?
