We need legislation that says any American business that accepts any form of federal assistance, whether it's in the form of tax cuts, bailout money, federal grants, small business loans or other funds MUST hire American citizens in order to qualify for the assistance.

Heck, we have long had federal contracting laws that (although probably not enforced very much during the Bush nightmare)require contractors with the federal government to hire certain percentages of minorities and women, or require their subcontractors to do so. You'd think beleaguered American workers would have some rights as well.
