AMERICAN CITIZENS FIRST

Mission Statement

OnShoringAmerica.com is a permanent initiative dedicated to championing American citizen workers and students in today’s 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 rooted in transparency, accountability, and fairness.

Through a comprehensive two-phase approach, we propose a forward-thinking strategy to restore opportunity, security, and national strength for U.S. citizens.:

Phase One: Industry Classification – The Foundation for Accountability

The first step is to formally classify all major forms of labor substitution as distinct U.S. industries under the North American Industry Classification System (NAICS).

Proposed Codes:

• NAICS 561399 – Foreign Labor Placement and Management Services 
• NAICS 611319 – International Student Enrollment and Compliance Services 
• NAICS 518219 – Workforce Automation and AI Substitution Services

📌 Without proper NAICS classification, these major labor inputs operate with limited oversight and transparency. Foreign labor and AI-driven automation currently remain largely invisible in standard economic reporting.

📊 Classification unlocks:

• Legally grounded data collection and taxation systems
• Sector-specific performance tracking
• Public disclosure of labor substitution impacts
• Integration with IRS, BEA, DOL, DHS, and SEVIS systems

🚫 No meaningful policy or taxation can occur without first establishing classification.

Phase Two: Taxation and Levy Legislation

Once the industries are formally recognized, Congress can enact targeted levies to rebalance incentives toward American workers:

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, and 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.

U.S. AI Utilization Levy

• Applies to corporations that deploy AI & Automation systems resulting in material task substitution or headcount reduction of U.S. citizen workers. 
• Base rates escalate over three years for larger deployments. 
• Strong incentives (dollar-for-dollar tax credits up to 70% and 60% levy reductions) for companies that prove reversal by rehiring or retaining U.S. citizen workers. 
• Companies that simply absorb the levy without reversing displacement pay the full amount. 
• False reporting carries severe penalties (fines up to $500,000 and potential criminal prosecution).

2026 Reality Check

• ~28.5M Total documented legal non-citizens working or studying in the U.S., representing ~10% of the labor force.
• ~12.3M Offshore workers employed by U.S. corporations
• ~10.8M Green card holders employed
• ~1M international students contribute ~$46.2B annually — but without accountability or transparency.
• Plus an emerging 5.5M AI & Automation labor substitution equivalents.

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, International Student Enrollment, and AI Utilization as U.S. industries under NAICS (561399, 611319, and 518219)

✅ Phase 2 - Passage of the U.S. Foreign Labor Levy, U.S. Foreign Student Enrollment Levy, and U.S. AI Utilization Levy

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, AI-driven economy

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

Let’s OnShore America!
