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.
We're not tired of WINNING, Mr. President!!!!!!!
This is big. Really big. However it was too close to call. Once RGB croaks, the court can be solidified for generations.
Yuuuuuuuuugeeeeee!!!

Wait, wasn't this already law?
It is. Just never enforced it seems.
I twas the law in the 1880s, the 1920s, 1965, and 1995. Each immigration act called it out.
And suddenly now the court "allows" it.
Down with the Kritarchy!
How did RBG vote? Carrier pigeon?
This is a very positive thing for the country and never should have been an issue to begin with.
But I take issue with the headline because this isn't a 'Trump' rule. This has been actual law for over 100 years, it was just never enforced.
