Abolishing visa's and sending every one home is not the answer.

Tarrifs are the answer. Make it just as expensive for a company to make it in china and sell it here. Not counting shipping costs. Whatever it is.

And the same with the visa's. Make them cost enough that it is NOT cheaper to import labor. Make it so they pay out just as much to get a Visa as they save by hiring a cheaper foreign worker. Plus a small percentage directly to higher ed to train workers in the relevant field.

Make it unprofitable and it will stop.
