  Natives tend to have local support networks (family and friends) help with money, material help and connections. Foreigners lack safety nets. From a government point of view, you can select the best foreigner candidates (eg pick 1 doctor out of 10 candidates). That can't be done with locals (good and bad doctors want jobs)

    From a government point of view, you can also pick the best native candidates. It's not rocket science.
