I think the intention is to prevent companies from opening offices in other countries to attract skilled workers and off-shoring the support staff in these offices. As a software developer I've been contacted by several large/well known firms, and countless smaller firms, from the United States because there are far too few developers in the states; and if this continues I would expect many of these firms just to open offices outside the states because most developers are not interested in moving to the United States.
