Don't count on it... We have close to 2000 on the CTI list alone that want to get hired and the schools are generating more every year, so that number of CTI's is not stagnant. In fact, they are going to generate easily enough every year to cover probably at least half of the FAA's need. Then add to the mix all the folks in the militar (remember it is large) that will be able to either reenlist or get out and try for the FAA. That is a good sized list too. With all of that, there is going to be very little need for hiring off the street, much less from outside the country. We do have a LARGE country and we have never had a hard time filling the positions when the FAA was hiring... Our main problem is only getting the govt. to hire.
Now, that said, I wish that we could get some of you in here. It would be great to diversify some and get some other opinions on ATC going. Not that anyone would listen <big evil grin)
