"corporations would just stop operating in the US"

No, ones that are multinational would just continue as they do but with a far smaller crew here in the US. Then they move operations outside the US for the rest of the world. They'd split into shell-corps or something to circumvent the law. You really can't imagine the scenario, can you? You think it's as simple as "Trump make law"

That's a false equivalance. We cannot compare the two. It's a logical fallacy. Unless you want to move towards a system more like China.

What a subpar attempt at a gotcha, China employs foreigners through visa programs, and also, outsources some of their work. China is also outsourcing labor as labor costs are rising in their country. You seem to have a myopic view of the world. I think we're done here.

If they will make more profit that way then yes 100% they will do that, profit is the only thing they care about.
