One Simple Law That Protects Our Investment in America
Ban companies from importing foreign contract labor under the 1885 Alien Contract Labor Law (Foran Act) protections.
I am going to bet you didn't even know this law existed, did you?
Any employer who brings in foreign workers to fill positions must first prove no qualified American is available and pay at least 150% of the local prevailing wage.
That is it. One rule.
In 1885 Congress passed this law specifically to stop companies from flooding the market with cheap imported labor and undercutting American workers. Later it was weakened and ignored. Generations of Americans have paid the price with stagnant wages and lost opportunities.
This law restores the original protection our ancestors demanded.
Per Grok AI:
Core principles persist indirectly: Current U.S. law (e.g., 8 USC § 1324a) prohibits knowingly hiring unauthorized aliens and regulates certain visa programs like H-1B, which require labor condition applications, prevailing wages, and attestations that no qualified U.S. workers are displaced—echoing the original intent but with different mechanisms and exceptions.
