This is the biggest obstacle right now. I completely agree. Singapore is a very rich country that barely felt the effects of the global recession. Plus this method of doing things has been in effect since they gained independence in the 60's.
I still think it is important to look at its success, and once we have stabilized a bit here, we should definitely look at instituting a similar method. Not only would it provide a constant and cheap workforce for us, but the fact that we are openly trying to help another country (and only as much as they want to be helped) will improve relations and how we are viewed globally.
So, all in all, this would be a long way off. But I'm glad you brought it up because this is definitely the way things should head, in my opinion.
