Also salaries in the EU are lower than the US ones. As the message you cite there says, the cost of living is lower. For some top scientists, I am sure they will be able to negotiate good conditions in specific institutions which are above their EU peers. So I do not think that this is getting people 'for cheap': they are getting the best we can give, which I believe is fair.
Also I see many EU scientist that are willing to help: there is a lot of people of danger in losing their jobs in an absolutely unfair way and institutions here are moving to try to offer them a chance. I think that community spirit is very good from the scientific community :)
My main complain was a different topic, the fact that research funding is lacking in some areas of the UE that is rarely discussed. There's a lot of talent there that unfortunately has a lot of impediments to do cutting-edge research. And it seems that resources can be available if one really wants them, so for people coming from these countries it can feel discouraging at times.
