And what will the criteria for employers be to show they 'tried' to hire Americans???? Shouldn't they give first rights to jobs to welfare recipients and unemployed? How and the world is the government going to monitor this?

A job isn't a 'Right' and the employers should be able to give the job to whoever they damn please [as long as they are legal to work]...and take it away just as fast if they see fit too...
