Fair enough, of course much of the world would be a much better place if people hadn't to leave their home for whatever reason. I'm agree completely with you.
But i was referring to Thorne saying "we send doctors" when in fact it's exactly vice versa. In the end it's poor countries financing the education of doctors and nurses and other professionals for very rich countries.
Ok, now you can say "well, that's global competition". That's not exactly good in my opinion, but i guess it's not completely wrong either. What is wrong, though, is that the first world drains all that educated personnel and then goes around bragging what good guys we all are when we send some relief goods or the odd doc when a catastrophe has occurred or people die of cholera or leprosy. That's hipocrisy at it's best.
