Honest question which companies? Which companies that currently pay workers minimum wage are able to move overseas? Mcdonalds, Walmart etc cannot move their service jobs overseas.

It might incentivise those companies to find ways of doing business with less human labour. For example computer checkout /ordering systems or more emphasis on doing business online.
Won't the result just be a further investment in technology that leads from two people making $10 an hour to 1 person making $20.
They'll automate even more. It might spur a push to improve commercial robotics.
