>They won't work for 1/10th of our wages for long because they can't live on that here, especially if they're bringing extended families.

But they could live quite well on 1/4 of US salary if they could do it from their countries. And their employer doesn't incur all the costs of creating a workplace - no chairs, no larger building, no health insurance, nothing much. Just a few guys (who were there already) to tell them what to do, and implement the finished parts as they come.

That's what created outsourcing.
