That's kind of the whole idea, isn't it, if you want Americans to get those jobs.

For the typical country, it's fair. The typical country does not permit an American to easily go over there and take a job.

Well, Germany for one, at least in the BCV (Before Covid) times: https://worldcrunch.com/world-affairs/39blue-cards39-and-quo...

For STEM graduates (or people with years of work experience in that field), the EU's Blue Card program basically would give you a residence permit (to use the exact term; most visas are for stays less than 3 months) if the prospective employer offered you a contract where the wage is on a similar level to locals.

And I wonder, why not. The companies need the brain power, they've certainly vetted the candidates, the company increases its productivity and the country gets another taxpayer.
