If there were to be a bill that successfully implemented a 25% tax on offshoring for US companies, US investors would rapidly improve their ability and inclination to invest in other places. Nobody's going to increase or decrease offshoring as a result; the non-executive jobs that are in the US without a legal (e.g., security clearance) requirement are those that the CFO and board are already satisfied have substantial -EV if they were to be performed from a low-wage country instead.
