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.
The whole trickle down thing only works proportional to how connected to the economy you are. if you're middle class and have a job, a little tiny bit maybe. if you're poor or have no job, then not at all. Almost no matter what is done will work out as a benefit for the wealthy.

By competition they mean a competition where the US is certain to lose. I don't like losing, let's not do that.

I doubt a win for corporations will trickle down to society at large, though losing does tend to be everybody's problem.

A win for companies means more money flying overseas, never to be seen again. Look at Apple, for example.

Apple have made a shed load of money by selling products abroad and had nothing to do with them sending money or of the USA, tit.
