It's a rather naïve conclusion. If the job is relocatable the supply of workers who remain abroad will also reduce wages too.

I've seen many, many, many corporations come to the conclusion that they are simply not able to manage resources abroad. They can barely handle them locally, let alone when there is many thousands of miles and a language barrier between them.
