It's much more advantageous to hire a poorer third world employee who believes your company is the best that they will do in their life, as opposed to a disgruntled unhappy local who is only in the company because they're not good enough for other more prestigious/better paying roles.

The former will work 10x as hard and is willing to take 10x more s**t than the latter.

Get it? Or too complicated for you to grasp?
