And what are you going to do if that dev moves to the US while working for you (such as on a partner visa)?
Are you going to pay them more or fire them? I don’t work for less as an American Expat, I work for how much I’m worth (which is a lot more than local wages) and I live where I live because the money let’s my wife stay at home, in a nice house in a nice neighborhood instead of us both working our asses off just to have a decent house in a shitty neighborhood.
If you want to pay local wages, go be a local and hire locals.
