>Huge US salaries sound very attractive to people from other countries, but I think that when they actually arrive on the ground and they realize how high the costs of living are (especially rents), and they realize that they have almost 0 negotiating power due to visa requirements, the salaries don't look so good anymore. On the contrary, they realize they can make a lot of money here and then bring their friend and relatives to come here. When you compare that salary with what they get in their home country, it really put it in perspective. I don't know why you think its the marketing, in fact usa actively discourage and make it really difficult for people to emigrate here.
