The US economy isn't the same as the state economy. For local revenue states and cities could simply tax the employer a percent of the outsourced employee's paycheck and if the problem did become federal then the federal government could do the same. Since these employees are coming from places with a lower CoL there's no reason they couldn't make up the difference in savings anyway.

And then, forget about the tax on the non existent employees, real local employees could be out of a job.
