Giblfiz has a concise analysis of the overseas job exodus phenomenon, which I quote from this thread:

As far as blue collar jobs going overseas... yes they are, but there is no solution to that. Corporate wellfare will only slow down the exodus as long as you are giving up everything you gained by having them here. Tariffs never work. This is a facet where we just loose, and should try to make it hurt as little as possible. Oh and its not just blue collar jobs that are leaving, many white collar ones are going too. If you have a rational plan for combating job export I would love to hear it.

Whether you like it or not, and it will be painful at first, jobs will move overseas. There is nothing you can do about it as long as you believe in free trade with countries that enforce international labor standards. What you can do is be prepared, meaning create a nitch that takes advantage of your place in the US and makes it worth it for your job to stay domestic. If there's no justification for your job to stay, then it won't.
As far as your injury, I'm guessing it wasn't life threatening or even serious. It's not the government's job to provide everyone with free liability insurance. Sometimes mistakes happen and you deal with them and move on.
You keep focusing on the very negative aspects of foreign workers. Working for a "low" salary by US standards is better than living in poverty. It also enriches the government of the host nation, who gets more tax money.
