Yes, higher education should be free, but this kind of logic is a trap, as it normalizes nationalistic logic which only helps the worst of the extreme-right. Besides even countries that have free higher education need to hire qualified immigrants because not everyone wants or has the natural inclination to do all the jobs that are required for the local specialization hub.
The latter sentence depends on the country and situation. I don’t think it is generally true. What is “natural inclination” anyway? Pay a lot and maybe people will naturally become inclined to apply?
Not everyone has the right mindset or natural skills to be a surgeon or a software engineer or a cgi artist, etc. Jobs tend to cluster in geographic locations but the best people for those jobs aren’t all necessarily born there.
