Except where there's little opportunity to utilize the highly skilled labor. They are going abroad anyway to find job opportunities befitting of their skill set and the highest bidder. Doesn't matter if the US or EU took them, they're leaving because the local opportunity doesn't exist.

Yes, and the people who could develop that local opportunity aren't there. They all leave as soon as they can.

That's why I said they're underdeveloped countries. They're not "developing" in truth, but are being kept from becoming developed. How do you think that happens? In part it happens because of the IMF giving predatory loans and then imposing austerity on the people when the government can't pay their loans back, but it also happens because labor is the superior of capital and these countries are losing skilled labor.

I am not blaming them for leaving their countries. I am blaming underdevelopment, which is a product of imperialism.

And who maintains the status quo, that there is no local opportunity so they have to coon out to FIVE-EYES nations?
