Any company that does layoffs should immediately have all their visas revoked as well as all of their contractors.

This is dumb, but not directionally. Any company that has done a lay-off shouldn’t be allowed to apply for visas for 2 years, with a 5-year probationary period thereafter during which if they do layoffs again the penalty jumps to 5 years.
Seems like if you learn you have too many experts in X and instead need experts in Y you should be able to have layoffs for X but still hire for and get visas for Y.
We absolutely have companies that systematically binge and purge on employees. The WARN Act thresholds seem apt for such limits.

What if there's a few year downturn, so they lay off and want to hire back when it passes? Force them to hire offshore instead?
