Competition is generally regarded as a good thing. When these people stay in the USA, they generally depress wages and send all the money they earn back to their home countries anyway, which does the rest of the US economy no good at all. Really I'm not sure we should even have any sort of H1-B program at all.

This is beyond ridiculous - especially the part "they send all money to home countries". When they buy houses, automobiles, send their children to school, pay taxes etc. they are a net contributor to the society. And what they do with their money is none of anyone's business...they may send it to their home countries, donate to a Trump charity, or they may go to Las Vegas.
You can make a valid argument H1B program needs tweaking, but you don't have to add gross generalizations, untruth and FUD to the mix.
You're right that they were over generalizing but I think there's no disputing that h1-b workers export more money than American workers. I think this is an important factor that is mostly ignored by people who are for free trade.
The effects of increased export of our money is substantial and each individual who does it, contributes to the problem.
