Article I, Section 8(3) of the U.S. Constitution states that Congress shall have the power to "regulate commerce with Foreign Nations, and among the several States, and with the Indian Tribes."

Our national unemployment rate is 7.6%, and using stateside companies for federal contracts can help drop this number dramatically. Outsourcing funds for federal jobs to foreign companies needs to end.
