Indeed, that's their thinking, but they're dishonest about the motives: officially, they say that the native talent simply doesn't exist, not that it exists but only at prices they don't want to pay.
Yeah I've seen a similar sort of logic with locally with some VERY large corporate slaughter houses. They claim that they MUST rely on illegal immigrant labor, otherwise nobody would work out on the "floor" and the business would essentially cease to exist. The funniest part is that they have the entire local population convinced of the same thing. And it's true the locals are not particularly interested in doing that job! However, I'm pretty sure that if they needed workers real badly, they might find some ways to entice the local population to work there. But why would they do that when they can hire illegals for much less $$ and trouble? (Illegal workers are VERY good workers, they don't complain about abuse and they don't dare claim a sick day, or ask for help if they get injured, the savings goes far beyond the hourly rate.)
