That’s just not possible because it’s unenforceable at best and ignores the myriad ways around it “legally” that still would be workable even if it’s “illegal”

For example it’s illegal to hire foreign undocumented labor but in literally zero of the companies who have been raided recently the only people punished were the working people who are just trying to live

Pitting people against each other should be a last, last, last, resort.

Low trust is VERY expensive. It's asinine to introduce it to anywhere it doesn't already exist.
