People in rich countries are (mostly) very nativist, so I doubt this kind of think would be popular. For whatever reason, people tend to value the lives of those in their country many times more than those in other countries.

So unfortunately, buying their labor at cheap rates seems to be the best way to transfer wealth right now, at least a big scale [0].
