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.
"We do not produce enough technically qualified candidates in this country,"
Complete Bullshit.
What they mean is..."We do not produce enough technically qualified candidates in this country that we can pay low wages and hold hostage with H1-B visas"
as someone who has a mix of both H1B and american workers under his care, I can tell you this: if you want high end technical labor, we simply DO NOT have enough qualified candidates here in the united states. We eat up EVERY SINGLE ONE that we can get our hands on that is an american citizen or has permanent resident status that is qualified when we have an opening, because going through the process of hiring high end candidates is time consuming and a drain on your resources.

Wow, you are so desperate for labor that you... can't be bothered to post a link stating the wages, the location, the hours and other employment conditions.
Whine away, instead of doing something practical, like posting a link to a job posting with complete description. What's that? Complaints about "too many" applicants that aren't "good enough"? Then add a damn CS 301 riddle to solve to get the actual application link for interested parties who've already seen the wage and said "Ok, that'll do." The rest of us won't dance to your tune because we're tired of seeing $30k salaries for $100k+ qualifications.
