I’m honestly not sure. I’ve lived and worked in developing countries, so I have seen what happens when someone gets sent to another country for work. Remittances are very high, and can lead to a better quality of life for those in the home country. That’s certainly not guaranteed though.

This is hardly a U.S. issue though. Dubai has south and southeast Asians, Malaysia has Laotians and Cambodians, Italy has Albanians, Argentina (before it went to shit) had paraguayans, Spanish Guardiennes have been a thing forever in Paris, on and on.
