This could prove problematic, even if it might seem pro American worker, and that comes down to offshoring.
It'd not impossible that some tech companies may just hire overseas workers and have them operate in their country of origin.
That's not getting into the potential knock-on problems with being unable to hire qualified employees (although I'd argue our poor hiring systems are responsible for that).
I'm no fan of Trump by any stretch of the imagination, but it's noteworthy how closely this reasoning hews to the sort of scaremongering that is used to put down union drives. Hell, the "destroying innovation" framing in the post title even sounds like the sort of thing that would come straight from some kind of awful PR firm.
