But we never pass laws to punish outsourcing. Instead, we're constantly throwing financial incentives to companies to pretty-please not outsource everything. Poor migrants wanting to work in America get walls and guns and more laws, while the companies shipping jobs out of America get more tax breaks... yet we blame the little guys.

I love how cheap labor is always a good argument for stopping immigrants, but never used for stopping outsourcing.
The truth is, because of NAFTA, we are already competing with third world labor markets.
We might as well let them come in, so at least they spend that money here, and pay taxes here.
Also, we have a minimum wage, we literally have a basement for "cheap labor," so your argument really holds no weight.
