AMERICAN CITIZENS FIRST

Mission Statement

OnShoringAmerica.com is a permanent initiative to champion American citizen workers and students in a competitive global labor and education landscape.

We believe the United States must prioritize American citizens—in both hiring decisions and university admissions—by building an economic system that values transparency, accountability, and fairness.

Through a two-phase approach, we propose a forward-thinking, long-term strategy to restore opportunity, security, and national strength:

Phase One: Industry Classification – The Foundation for Accountability

The first step is to formally classify foreign labor and international student enrollment as U.S. industries under NAICS.

Proposed Codes:

• 561399 – Foreign Labor Placement and Management Services
• 611319 – International Student Enrollment and Compliance Services

📌 Why this matters: Without NAICS classification, these sectors:

• Operate outside federal and state tax regimes
• Evade standard compliance and oversight
• Lack transparency in their economic footprint

📊 Classification unlocks:

• Legally grounded taxation systems
• Sector-specific performance reviews
• Public disclosure of foreign worker use and international enrollment
• Integration into IRS, BEA, DHS, and SEVIS data models

🚫 No taxes without classification. This legal foundation must come first.

Phase Two: Taxation and Levy Legislation

Once the industries are formally recognized, Congress can enact targeted levies:

U.S. Foreign Labor Levy

• Applies to corporations employing non-citizens (H-1B, L-1, green card workers, offshore labor).
• Four Pillars
  • Work Visa-based levies
  • Payroll contributions for foreign workers
  • Employee remittances abroad
  • Offshoring of remote labor
• Protects low-wage industries with capped rates under $35,000 salaries.
• Higher rates applied in tech, finance, and professional sectors to rebalance incentives.

U.S. Foreign Student Enrollment Levy

• Applies to universities enrolling F-1 and J-1 visa holders.
• Base $500 levy in Year 1, with surcharges for high-demand STEM fields (AI, biotech).
• Credits for expanding domestic enrollment.
• Revenue funds scholarships, rural access, and infrastructure.

2025 Reality Check

• ~32M Total documented legal non-citizens working or studying in the U.S. representing ~10% of the labor force.
• ~14M Offshore workers employed by US corporations
• ~13M Green card holders employed
• ~1.5M international students contribute ~$46.2B annually — but without accountability or transparency.

Yet, these massive pipelines remain relatively in the shadows in U.S. economic reporting!

Call to Action!

Contact your governor, senators, and congressional representatives to demand:

✅ Phase 1 - Classification of Foreign Labor and International Student Enrollment as U.S. industries

✅ Phase 2 - Passage of the proposed U.S. Foreign Labor Levy and U.S. Foreign Student Enrollment Levies

This ensures:

• Protection for low-wage American workers
• Priority for citizen students in elite programs
• Investment in job training, scholarships, and infrastructure
• Rebalanced incentives in a globalized economy

Let’s reclaim fairness in education and employment for U.S. citizens.

Let’s OnShore America!
