Hire them to do what? Sales. Someday, everyone will be a salesman, selling goods and services from other countries to other salesman. That the world will let us pay for those goods and services without actually producing anything in return will be the really amazing part of the whole process.

So when war breaks out, and all the engineering and manufacturing plants are abroad, we'll just sell them on the idea of not attacking us.

Furthermore, what of innovation? If all the best and brightest people are abroad, that will signify the death of America as a source of technology. Our 100 year domination in the worlds technology (with a brief lag behind Germany during WWII) will be over.

I simply cannot express enough reasons why this is a horrible idea.

I'm sure they'll be delighted to do exactly that. Just like the Chinese will provide the U.S. military with all the JDAM guidance system assemblies we offshored to them this year.
