Hello Nurse! Is the U.S. stealing health care workers from abroad?: "But it's not for well-meaning Westerners to decide where a health care worker would be 'better off' anyway. Workers are not the property of countries that train them, and any policy that seeks to limit their options will prove cruelly restrictive. After all, stemming the flow of skilled labor doesn't just mean locking workers out of wealthy nations. It means locking them into poor ones." This is why "brain drain" is NOT a bad thing and should be encouraged. Think of it as exporting skilled manpower to the USA !
