I was wondering about your answer on this. Didn't you think hiring non-citizens should be illegal because they physically live here? What about if they live outside the country?
I would start with the default question of "should it be illegal", and the default answer of "no", until it is proven and/or consensus accepted (vast majority) that there should be a law.
Physical vs. non-physically present foreign workers is a sharp and relevant dividing line.
Non-present employees do not require housing, do not require local food, do not purchase vehicles, do not drive on the roads, do not compete for local resources of any kind. That is a major and important distinction.
Let's rephrase this. Does the federal government have the authority to charge duties on hiring foreign labor to make the practice unprofitable, though legal?
I think adding an unaffordable tax is the same as making it illegal.
I think a low, across the board import tax is ok but I would only apply it to physical items. I think trying to apply it to foreign labor would be too intrusive.

Its not an unaffordable tax to even the playing field so there is a balance of power.
Otherwise NGOs collude with foreign governments to defund their domestic political opposition.
Thats how you get a lopsided tax and spending tax regime that forces the middle and upper lower class into poverty and gives the wealthiest people in our country full control over the government.
Any time you hear someone talking about "evening the playing field" or "balancing power" in the same sentence as "taxation", it's time to cover your wallet.
