For some it could. Silicon Valley's laid-off foreign workers are being 
courted by countries around the world
 ...

An excellent way to share SillyCon Valley's trade secrets with their 
competitors around the world!  The got cheap foreign labor when they 
"couldn't find" (or didn't want to pay for!) US talent.  Now they get to 
"share" their most sensitive info and insights with the rest of the world.

Perhaps it's the most literal example of, "What goes around; comes 
around!" (or in this case, vice-versa).
