Also it seems a teensy bit unfair to rob the developing world of its skilled workers so that we don't have to bother training them ourselves (plus they'll accept lower pay than natives).

Aren't those nurses needed back home?

Unironically no because most of these countries have extremely young populations.

Why do they have a young population? What happens to the old people who live in those countries? Why would that not happen in the receiving countries if enough people are imported?

Unironically yes because most of these countries‘ population is sick due to low hygiene and water qualify.

They have a young population because their birth rates are much higher than in (e.g.,) the U.K.

In 1950 the birth rates in Africa were higher than today. Where are those old people?
