you don't want workers in IT, look at the USA, other than silicon valey (1 state), they all hire from India, and the salary from other states are comparable to what you find elsewhere in the world, including China

you want researchers, and EU has ton of them ;)

Tech salaries in the lowest wage areas in the US are comparable to western Europe. Wages in any major US metropolitan area are higher on average.

If this is because of security, is just having a bunch of researchers enough to provide for security?
