No, we train nurses and doctors too, spending social resources doing it, then the US hires them. โ˜ ๏ธ

No as in, we're not at the top of the turd pile. What you described is valid and it happens to us too. It looks like letting the market handle the availability of trained labor might not be the brightest idea.
